Is hartz brand okay to use for fleas/ticks on dogs?

Question

i know frontline is the best but the vet on base was closed, so i bought hartz flea tick and larvae drops that protect for 30 days... and i bought the hartz shampoo for ticks and fleas....

is that gonna work has anyone used this?

Answer 1

No please don't use it!  bring it back to where you got it.  Hartz has been know to cause sever allergic reactions in dogs.  It has also cause some dogs to have such sever reactions as to cause the dogs to have seizures and die.

On top of all this it doesn't work and is a waste of your money!  

Answer 2

I personally don't trust the Hartz brand. I've seen too much bad stuff about it.

I would just wait until the vet was open and get the Frontline. A few extra days past your normal application time is fine.

Answer 3

NO! Do not EVER use hartz brand flea medication if you care about your pets... first of all, it does not work, its a waist of money, and 2nd of all it contains a chemical that's poisonous to animals, I don't know WHY they are still aloud to sell there products.

Instead try advantage or frontline, you can find them at the vet, or at a pet store, single tubes are about 15$ but i'm sure if you buy a pack of maybe 3 it will be a better deal. They work all month long, 30days, and they work likea charm, trust me. It may be more expensive than hartz but it's really worth it, and saves you a lot of money in the long run, because if you use hartz chances are you'll be at the vet a day or so later with a big bill.

Answer 4

I've heard mixed opinions.  My person al is not to use it.  too many bad opinions about it.

Answer 5

Yes, I've used it before, and believe me please, YOU JUST WASTED YOUR MONEY. The stuff doesn't really work. You can buy Frontline Plus at the Pet-Store. At least you can where I live. I go to Pet Supplies "Plus" (have you ever heard of it?), and get Frontline Plus there. If they don't carry it, at least get K9 Advantix.
