Hartz Bad choice for Cats

I decided to try a flea collar so I could save myself a trip to the vet
The pesticide used in these collars is a widely used, generic chemical for flea treatment, but unfortunately, it doesn't work well with cats

  Although some not have issues using the Hartz brand collars for cats, I had a very sad and almost deadly situation happen to my cat. I have a Seal Point Siamese who is allergic to fleas.
  We usually use Frontline, but we were all out.
  I decided to
  try a flea collar so I could save myself a trip to the vet.
  $244 later, I wish I had never made that choice.
  My cat got the collar in her mouth.
  The chemicals almost killed her.

- chemicals.
  Use caution when applying these chemicals to your cats.
  The pesticide used in these collars is a widely used, generic chemical for flea treatment, but unfortunately, it doesn’t work well with cats.
  Their bodies just can’t handle it.
  Hartz, really should follow the ways of the more responsible companies,
  and pull these harmful collars.
  According to our Vet, they have 1-2 extreme to fatal situations per week directly related to these collars.
  To those who haven’t had problems…be very glad and know that you are lucky.
  To those who are trying to research your options — Don’t buy the Hartz collar.

Hartz Advanced Care Hair Ball Remedy

Preferred Choice Cat Food

Preferred Choice might be a generic brand of cat food, but my cats don't seem to care at all. They go absolutely insane for it, unlike any dry food I've ever fed them (they love wet cat food). Only 28 cents Canadian a can, the cans even come with ...

Greenies are treats for cats and dogs and most of the animals I know love them. When all three of my cats agree on something, it is nothing less than a miracle and my three fight over these. For the dogs, they come in a bone shape and in ...

If you have cats, you need to get them a cat perch. My cats love the one we have in our bedroom. They sit and relax while looking outside at the birds and squirrels. I always feel bad about not letting my cats outside. But there are ...
