A budget stay above a nice pubPosted Jul 24, 2014
Pros: The "Times" breakfast, good beds.
Cons: The cleaness of the toiletts should be improved.
Location: Near by there is nothing to see or to recommend. The way to the Belsize Park Station is hard to find.
Nice people in the pub below the Westport Inn. The Name of the pub has changed already. Now its called "The Bluebell". The Westport Inn is still above

not bad, good on a budgetPosted Jul 23, 2014
arrived looking for the Westport Inn but found some Blue.... something. name has changed, can't remember now anyway we were filming in London on a budget and got a great rate bar tender gave us free drinks as we waiting for the guy room was okay, but in a decent neighborhood, with free breakfast at a restaurant across the street which was a nice touch -again nice people, the bonus was great coffee! the shared bathrooms were spotty, but for a couple of guys it was alright for 3 nights I suppose the worst thing was the fact that it wasn't close to a tube stop, but accessible by bus they had a small television which was alright we didn't leave much equipment in the room during the day but it felt fairly secure we checked into a 4 star at the airport before flying home to make up for this, but to be honest its just a place to sleep -if you need more stay clear

Good location, but beware of the customer servicePosted Jul 21, 2014
Pros: Convenient location
Location: Camden Market is nearby, about five to ten minutes by bus.
This place was ok. There was no soap in the washroom stalls though and no wastebaskets in the rooms. One of the innkeepers and owners told me that breakfast was from 8 to 10 (which is also stated in their room info book), but the breakfast was sadly not there at all, though I was told to wait in my room for it ( and did so). I waited until 10:30 but still no breakfast. When I asked about this I was told that it was in my room--which it wasn't because I had been there the whole time! I ended up leaving without eating breakfast though I waited for it for over an hour and a half. If they can fix the organization and customer service matters, then they would receive a higher rating.

Very loud - unprofessional - fine if you are drunkPosted Jun 30, 2014
Pros: Friendly bar staff
Cons: Sobriety and cheerfulness of man who showed me the room
Late check-in suited me - the rooms are above a pub which had a fun bar - the man who showed me the rooms was so drunk he had no idea what was going on. Facilities pretty average but not the worst I've seen. On the plus side, the bar staff downstairs were very friendly and welcoming and keen to include me in the party at the bar. I'd avoid this place, unless you are mid twenties and feel like getting roaring drunk every night - in which case it is ideal.

Good location for the Camden roundhouse!Posted Jun 14, 2014
Pros: The location and the price
Cons: Could've done with a towel as we didn't bring any with us. Also the name of the pub has changed to the Bluebell, there was no mention of this!
Location: Camden roundhouse is walkable from here
Basic room but clean and comfortable. The bed was a double instead of a twin but we were ok with it. The breakfast in the cafe was great!

Great budget accomodationPosted May 14, 2014 on Hotels.com
I stayed in a big twin bedroom, with tea and coffee facilities. the decor is tired and this is for those seeking luxury. But the room was spacious, the bathrooms old but large. The bar recently refurbished and renamed!!! The bar staff couldnt do enough for us and the breakfast at the cafe over the road fantastic. Have already recommended it to friends how are looking to stay in london on a budget.

Cheap, a great place to go if you are just looking for a bed for the night, and don't mind sharing a bathroom. Room was clean. There is a bar underneath, if you are a light sleeper not the best place. Very near Camden. Cheap with breakfast included.

Quite nice hostel near the centrePosted Mar 30, 2014

Staff was really nice there and they welcomed us warmly. I really liked to stay there.

Reached expectationsPosted Mar 28, 2014
Pros: Spacious, clean, good free breakfast, lenient check out time (we left at 10:45 as opposed to 10)
Cons: An actual double bed and being able to contact the owner.
Location: 20 min walk from Camden, Primrose Hill.
I booked a double room shared bathroom and it wasn't bad! Very high ceilings, spacious, clean bathroom and toilet plus the breakfast was good - we didn't mind it being at the dingy cafe opposite. Just as a warning, the number you can contact the owner on is not the one advertised. The number is on the hotel door! Only negative I can think of is the double bed was in fact two singles stuck together so it was quite uncomfortable at times.

I put a Hartz flea and tick collar on my dog over the weekend. He woke up this morning with all 4 legs moving so fast he couldnt stand, he finally started to walk and was falling into walls, falling flat in the floor. He couldnt see, he didnt seem to know who I was. I have never seen anything like it. I immediately thought he was having a reaction to the collar and removed it. After what seemed like forever, he began to calm down and came to me exhausted, but he still didnt seem to be able to see. He is now laying on the couch sleeping like he is exhausted, but he seems to be ok . That is when I started looking online to see if it could have been the collar, and found your website. I wish I would have thought to explore the subject before using the collars , but Hartz has been around forever , you think it would be a safe product !!!! Has anyone else had a dog have this reaction, and if so was it only once or is this going to be a permanent thing ?
What did this product do to my dog ?
Update: lost one cat now my kitten is sick
We picked up our Misty from the vet at 4 pm yesterday,Sunday. She is going to be fine but have to watch for any signs of liver damage. The relief is unbelievable.
Sergeant's Gold Flea & Tick is HORRIFIC STUFF!!!
My daughter bathed both of our little doggies and then innocently applied Sergeant's Gold Flea & Tick (liquid) to the backs of both of our chichuahuas and what followed was HORRIFIC! The next morning there was an overwhelming amount of vomit all over our kitchen floor and both dogs were acting strangely! Our female chichuahua, Honey (5 lbs) was spastic and was running around wildly and flapping her ears by shaking her head wildly! Rascal, our 8 lb male chichuahua was twitching and couldn't stand… all he could do was sit and wheeze while his stomach audibly rolled from not eating (or losing all that he ate!). I immediately called the emergency hotline given on the back of the box to see what to do. I was advised to bathe both of the dogs in dishwashing detergent to remove the oils from their fur and that they're reactions would subside within 24 hours… NOT THE CASE! We were helpless, as the vet was closed and the next day was Sunday and we couldn't afford to take them to the emergency vet.
Both of our dogs' ears had turned fire red and they have both been flapping there heads and scratching their heads and bodies wildly as if they have water in their ears. I administered Benadryl to both animals in an desperate attempt to help alleviate their symptoms. This seemed to help slightly with the redness and itching, but they still continue to have symptoms! I am taking them both to the vet today for an official diagnosis and will report back….
When I called Sergeants, they took my name and information about my pets, asked for the barcode info, then continued on to tell me that I had probably "overdosed" my dogs and that they "shouldn't be having these symptoms"… DUH! I KNOW this stuff is evil and had some kind of neurologic affect on both of my pets and refuse to believe that they just had a "temporary allergic" reaction that should have cleared after bathing them. After I googled it, I found LOADS of complaint and warning regarding this product… wish I had looked there FIRST before I administered!
Do not ever, EVER use Hartz products on your pets
I am currently in college studying Veterinary Medicine. Hartz products are DANGEROUS. we specifically discussed that in class. They are known for making animals ill, and unfortunately–killing cats. Dogs can tolerate pesticides better than cats (even though it is dangerous for both). Harts flea and tick control products contain pesticides, Deadly for cats, dangerous for dogs. PERIOD. Hartz have many lawsuits against them, and they do need to be shut down. If you have any signs of adverse effects (which seems to always occur with EVERY Hartz products) discontinue use IMMEDIATELY. As a matter of fact, DO NOT USE IT AT ALL. Things that can occur are rash, itching, blisters, bumps, seizures,loss of appetite, fever, vomitting, etc. and even, unfortunately, death. If you need flea and tick control, for your pets sake, please use Frontline. It is the safest product, and Veterinareans number one choice for a reason.
So thankful for internet information
So, we are moving to Oregon and we needed to buy Flea Meds for our 7 rescue kitties. We didn't have a lot of money so we were very thrilled when we found Hartz Ultra Guard Plus for Cats at a reasonable price. Hartz is, well its Hartz. Trusted right?
So we bring this stuff home and go to apply it to our cats. Thankfully my mother taught me to read everything. I was taken aback by the need to separate the kitties cause of grooming, call the vet, no its Sunday. Call Hartz, no its Sunday! I needed to know if I could treat them on the move, that night, in their carriers. So, I went on the internet and asked Yahoo answers. Treat them, don't worry was the response I was getting. But then Laurie, a complete stranger got on and said NO! She informed us of Hartz! We researched! We are taking it back and spreading the word. Another 7 Kitties saved from the death trap of Hartz Flea meds for cats!!

Lost one cat and now my kitten is sick
We bought Hartz Ultraguard One Spot flea treatment for our 18 month old cat Sarah in October 2010 as it was recommended to us by the pet store. We treated Sarah and after about half an hour she started to twitch and breathe heavily, she was jumpy and nervous and I wiped her down as I was worried she may have managed to lick some of the treatment off her fur. She seemed to settle a little and we weren't so concerned. The next day she wasn't eating or drinking and sneezing a lot and had no energy. We took her to the vet that evening and were told she had become very anaemic and her blood count was down to 7. The vet kept her overnight and she was on intravenous fluids and had been given injections and tablets to kill fleas. The next morning we picked her up and brought her home and tried feeding her water and watered down food with a small syringe as the vet had advised. Sarah became progressively weaker and kept trying to crawl under the couch. She died in our arms at 3 am the next morning. We were devastated and it took us a long time to be able to have another cat. At this time we did not know that the flea treatment had harmed Sarah as the vet told us she had died from anaemia, heartworms and excessive flea bites.
About 6 weeks ago I found a little grey kitten under our dumpster and took her in. We named her Misty and she is our baby. Yesterday evening, Saturday October 29th, we noticed Misty scratching and we treated her for fleas with the Hartz Ultraguard One Spot as we were scared of having a repeat of what had happened to Sarah. Misty is now 3 months old. This morning at 6 am she woke us up and was twitching and breathing fast and jumpy. I bathed her immediately and she didn't even fight me which really scared us. After her bath she seemed a little calmer but was still twitching and breathing fast so I called our new vet who told us to take her over straight away. This was at 8:30 this morning. When I got her to the vet and told him what I had treated her with and that I had bathed her already he told me it was the best thing I could have done but she still was sick. She is now on a drip and being treated by our vet and I don't know if she is going to have kidney or liver damage from this product.
Please, please don't let anyone else's pets suffer like ours have. I will post here again once I know how our Misty is and if she is going to be ok.
Close One
My husband and I purchased Hartz Guard Pro for our 11 month old cat, Poptart. She usually is very bubbly and snuggly. After applying the medication on her, she was very distant and didn't want to be touched. She then started smacking her lips and salivating excessively and her skin became bright red. We tried wiping the medication off with a wet rag and called the Vet. The vet told us to bathe her immediately and to watch for worsening symptoms and seizures. After bathing her we did research online and came across this website. I am infuriated that a company continues to sell this product. I am saddened by the number of deaths this product has caused. Poptart is like my baby. She is a part of the family and would be devastated if anything happened to her. So now I will pull an all nighter to make sure she is ok. In the mean time sign my petition to try and get theses dangerous products removed from the stores or at least get them to change their "recipe". http://www.change.org/petitions/save-our-pets
Worried for my babies
I'm worried for my little babies! Recently I found out my cats have had fleas so I went to Target to get some flea treatment.My cats don't "love" baths so I decided getting a spray for them would be easier.When I read this page I became gravely worried for my 3 kittens and their mother.So far I have only seen one sign that I'm worried Hartz might have caused is that the mother cat has been coughing and sneezing,and I don't know exactly why.It doesn't seem to affect the kittens,but so far I have stopped using that spray and decided to stay to the baths that aren't from Hartz.

He went into some hiding and eating less…This yesterday morning , he walked in like he wanted to run somewhere. He turned and fell to the rug and seizured DEAD like with a heart attack and body shutdown.I was stunned ; I tried some mouth to mouth but total no movement. It was like instant DEATH ; but this was after a few weeks. A total healthy ADULT CAT ; in a few weeks; GONE !! This product may kill the bugs ; but it KILLED my loving cat !!!

This website possibly saved the lives of 5 cats!
I am so thankful to have found this website when I did!
We had purchased Hartz Ultraguard Pro flea & tick drops for cats. We were going to use these drops on my cat, my aunt and grandparents 3 cats, and a family friends new kitty. I was getting ready to apply this drops onto my cat, so I googled this brand of flea drops to get directions, when this website came into the results. So I clicked and read all of the awful stories on here from this nasty product, and immediately threw it in the trash and contacted my aunt and grandparents! I had them read the stories on this website, and they were horrified and disgusted, but very thankful they had not yet put any of this POISON on our cats! It is a truly a great relief that we avoided a tragic disaster!
I am so sorry for those of you who found about this product too late, and lost their best friend(s). But I really appreciate that you all posted your stories, which saved the lives of 5 cats last night as well as saving us from broken hearts and regrets! Thank you so much! If I hadn't found this website, my cat probably wouldn't be cuddled up on my lap right now.
Hartz Flea and Tick Collar
I thank you all for posting on this site and for whoever created it.
I bought a new flea and tick collar for my cat, Cablo just two days ago. She is normally very vivacious and gives me kisses when I come home, has a voracious appetite and is a young, fresh, healthy girl. Today when I woke up, she wasn't sleeping on the foot of my bed, which she does every night. She was sleeping on the couch in a ball very solemnly. I went over to pet her and there was no purring, no kisses, nothing.
When I open the fridge Cablo will run from great distances in hopes to get more food – it's never enough! She loves to eat! But when I opened the door this morning, she didn't move. I carried her over to the bowl and she was crying, which is very unusual. I had to go to school and was so upset all day thinking of her in distress.
Hoping she would be better when I got home, I was saddened to see she hadn't moved from the couch, didn't great me at the door, she hadn't eaten a bite. I was convinced she ate a cotton bud and so worried about the possible vet bill.
After trying to figure out what may have gone wrong, I found this site and immediately took her new collar off and bathed her (which she hated), but she seemed so much happier instantly! We played a little bit, she ate a little and is now resting. If she is not back to normal by tomorrow afternoon I will take her to the vet, but fingers crossed she will be back to her jovial self in no time.
I will never buy a Hartz product again and told all of my friends the same.
Do NOT BUY Hartz Kitten Milk Replacement (KMR)
I have 5 abandoned baby kittens. My neighbor feeds stray cats who reproduce, but they give birth under my shed. There was a batch a few months ago that I returned to my neighbor. The mother refused to touch them, even though we did not physically touch them with our skin. According to him, they 'starved to death over several days' and he did not lift a finger to save them. Then a new batch was left under my shed, howling for food. This time, we had to take them in.
We put them on PetAG KMR and they were doing ok as a group. But I lost my job and PetCo was charging 25 dollars a can for this stuff. I found Hartz KMR at Walmart for 10 and thought, "Hey! Save money!". I fed 1.5 cans to these kittens. Within a week, my favorite one, Jesse, started acting like she had suffered a stroke. She would sit dormant for minutes, staring into space, then jerking off into a random direction, crashing into whatever. I fed her a bit of sugar water, as advised by the Internet, and then a touch of canned food. She recovered. The next day, she ate nearly half a bottle of Hartz KMR. An hour or so later, she consumed nearly another quarter of a bottle. (Small kitten milk bottles).
By 5 PM that afternoon, she was a wreck. She howled in pain. Her stomach was bloated. She would lurch from absolute zombie-ness to lurching, panicked movements. I could not help her. I started researching her state. I could find no disease or condition that matched this. Not 'kitty stroke' or 'epilepsy' or …..nothing matched. Then I thought about the food change and I started investigating. Everything I found by Googling "Hartz KMR" DID match. We were convinced we found the issue.
The next day, we went immediately to PetCO and got PetAG's KMR Step 2 (they're old enough for it now) and came home and fed them. The change was almost instant. They now bound about the floor, battling and playing. Alert and attentive. Jesse is a normal kitten again. I am CONVINCED Hartz was the culprit.
PLEASE! If you are ever in the position to have to nurse kittens yourself, do NOT use Hartz. It is a crap product that causes horrible constipation, stomach buildup and what I am convinced is eventual brain death in a kitten. PLEASE DO NOT USE HARTZ KMR. PetAG is much better because it is milk based. Even Similac is better than Hartz KMR. But I wanted to share my tale because this site helped me to diagnose what was wrong with Jesse and there was really nothing wrong with her except the poision I was unintentionally feeding her.
I have no relationship with PetAG, they are just the only KMR alternative I have ever found. If you do find a KMR, please make sure it is milk based and not whey based, or the kitten will not be able to pass stool. THAT is my point. It will become bloated and pained and completely freak out. Jesse is quite content now and the other 4 are doing just fine as well. Thank you for your attention.
indiana residents
Hello, my dog died a couple of days after I put the flea and tick medicine on him. He was dehydrated and was throwing up blood, was not eating or drinking. I took him to the vet but it was too late and he passed away at home. He was a healthy husky and Hartz flea and tick medicine took him down in a couple of days. I am trying to make Hartz pay for what their product has done and get it removed from all product shelves. I am in the process of getting a lawsuit going against Hartz and I need another person to come forward and contact my lawyer to help make Hartz pay. If you live in Indiana and had a pet die from any type of Hartz medication, please please give Gregory M. Egleston a call. His number is 212-683-3400 or email him at [email protected]. I need help and if you can and will help, please contact Gregory. The more people that come forward and contact him, the better our chances are to make Hartz pay. Our pets should not die from products we buy to help them. Please if you want to make Hartz pay for killing your pet, give Gregory a call. Thank you very much
Hartz "Love your dog" shampoo
About 15 years ago, my mother and I were out shopping for a safe shampoo for our new 8 month old Golden Retriever puppy. We were careful not to get anything with a flea or tick repellant in it so as not to expose him to such neurotoxins at a young age. We chose a shampoo with a happy looking golden retriever puppy on the front that was intended for puppies called Hartz "Love your dog" shampoo. We washed him that afternoon and the next morning he had two seizures. We rushed him in to the vet and, after mentioning that he'd gotten a bath the day before, the FIRST question out our vet's mouth was, "Was it a Hartz product?"
Long story short, Hartz poisoned our dog. He continued to have seizures for the rest of his life. Without medication, they were daily. With medication (4 phenobarbs a day), he "only" had them about once a month. He died younger than he should've as a result of the strain on his heart from having had so many seizures in his lifetime.
I now tell every single person I meet at a pet store or a vet office what happened to my dog, but I know it's not enough because Hartz is still poisoning animals. Thank you for making this website – I'll do my best to publicize it.
R.I.P Moo moo
I really wish I did my home work when I recently got a 6 week old kitten that I named Moo moo… It started a couple of weeks ago when my cousin showed me pictures of her 6 week old kittens who were going to be taken to a farm if they didnt find homes. Me being the animal lover that I am took one that looked liked a cow and fell in love at first sight. The day i picked her up I noticed she had fleas and knew they had to go in a short time as I have 4 dogs,2 cats and 2 birds already so my aunt bathed her in baby shampoo three times but she still had lots more that needed to go. I bonded with her on my 3 hour drive home on thanksgiving monday and knew she was going to be a great addition to my family. Tuesday I went to Pet Value to look for flea shampoo after I didnt find any close to her age I decided to go to Walmart to look. I found Sergeants flea shampoo for 8 weeks and up and thought she is almost 7 weeks so will that 1 week difference be a big deal…probably not so I bought it and went home to bath her. It seemed to kill alot of fleas but I wasnt sure if they were all gone so on wednesday I did another bath with the shampoo and sure enough there was the fleas. I was asked why not take her to the vet and have them do a flea treatment but I replied its to expensive so I'm going to bath her myself. On friday I did yet another bath and once again found more fleas so I thought ok sunday should be the last bath she will need and once and for all these fleas will be gone!!! Saturday came and she was her normal self running around,meowing,eating,biting and doing her running pounce. We played that night until she fell asleep on my pillow that was on the couch so I carried her and the pillow to my bed where she woke up and started to play again until I fell asleep. I woke up sunday looking at her thinking how cute she looked sleeping with her mouth open so i rolled over and went back to sleep until my husband came in breakfast. He entered the room and picked Moo moo up and thats when we seen the blood on the bed,pillow,side of her face and in her mouth, we started to clean out her mouth to make sure nothing was blocking her throat and she looked like she was sleeping but was making little noises so we rushed her to the vet. When we got there we were asked if we wanted them to perform cpr as she was almost gone at that point,she was put on iv,oxygen and a heating pad as her temp was low and we were told they didnt have anything to relax her muscles so she wouldnt jerk while breathing so we would have to take her to the emergency clinic. If the vet left the iv lines in the emerg would charge us a min of 400 dollars for 12 hours of care and the vet office cost would be 250 or we could do home care which could take longer for her to come around but it was do able. The doctor left at 3pm and were to stay there until 4pm with her so we could take her off the oxygen to see how she would be at home and if anything happened the vet would come back. We took her off the oxygen for a bit during the bath they gave her and put her back on the heating pad to get her temp back up but we put it back on until 3:3o. Moo moo started to move her head and her one front paw and I was getting so excited thinking she was getting better when i felt hwer back paw moving,my husband went to inform them she was having another seizure and when they came back and checked her she had stopped breathing and called the vet back as her heart beat was dropping as well and before they got off the phone with the doctor she was gone. I picked her up to hold her for the last time when we seen more blood had come out of her mouth as she bite her tongue again. After paying the $388 bill I thought this could have all been prevented had I taken her to get a flea treatment. I was suppose to protect her yet I put this shampoo on her not knowing any of this could happen as it didnt say its toxic to animals and its the worst feeling in the world. I know I didnt make this product toxic to kittens but it doesnt take the guilt or pain away,losing a pet this way has put me into depression and I will relive this pain so that i can tell anybody and everybody my story if it prevent another death. Hartz and Sergeants should be ashamed of themselves and put warning labels on their products!!!
Hartz risked the life of my 7 month cat, Huey.
While at work one day, my fiancée spotted this poor baby kitten cold, wet, and sick. His immediate instant was to grab it. I said it was okay and we immediately took it to the vet to get tested and checked out. Healthy considering his circumstances, his major thing was fleas. The vet gave him Advantage and a capstar blue pill to take instant affect. Since we already had our beloved baby boy Huey at the house, I wanted to take the extra step and get him some flea treatment, in the off chance some were able to survive. We headed to Target to find that Hartz was the ONLY option at the store. Knowing that Hartz makes several animal products, I thought nothing of it and purchased and applied it to Huey. We did this pretty late in the evening so we headed to bed shortly after. Around 4am Huey jumped into bed and couldn't sit still for anything and he is typically snuggled in for the night at this point. Not to mention he kept scratching at the application point and was literally trying to chew off the foot in which he scratched the area with. Instantly, we flew out of bed, bathed him, called the emergency vet, and bathed him again… Learning that the flea medicine could cause SEIZURES. Seriously? We tried to lay back down but he kept twitching so we headed to the emergency vet, where I learned that Hartz is the ONLY flea medicine that does this where Advantage and Frontline will not. He stated he was in emergency for 10 years and saw this his first year and was convinced than that Hartz would never survive selling products that could kill animals. He is still stunned that it is still in the market. I've missed days of work too paranoid to leave Huey alone, fearing I'll come home to find that his little body had an adverse reaction. He is about to get another bath after I posted this. And now I have 2 treatments of Hartz Ultra Flea and Tick drops just sitting in my purse because I'm too afraid to throw it away, in fear that some poor animal will find it and digest it and seal their fate. I will not settle until this company pays for what it's done to people and their pets. The worst part is the guilt I feel realizing I hurt my baby in an attempt to protect him. How is this fair?
2 family members; Gone!
We used a hartz spray on 2 of our beloved cats, Brady and Star.. now mind you we have 4 cats, but we only sprayed these 2, becuase they seemed to have gotten the case of the fleas, the worst.. In trying to help our animals.. we hurt them.. killed them.. NO, we didnt, HARTZ DID. We followed the directions on the bottle to a T.. both seemed to be doing okay, and about 3 days later i realized they were hiding.. which these 2, did not normally do.. so calling for them through out the house, we searched and looked for them, and when we finally found them, Brady looked AWFUL. W gave Brady a bath, using just reg. ivory soap.. and star we wiped down as much as we could. The reason we got these products, was because i Called the Emergency hospital, and the person on the other end basically laughed at me, and told me we had to take care of the fleas ourselves, becuase " we don't do stuff that miniscule here"… Well, 2 days later we rushed him to the Emergency Vets, because he was skin and bone, and was urinating on himself, and breathing very hard, he was nostalgic and was notn reacting to us at all.. and we had to put him down! 2 days after that I refused to go to the emergency hospital, and the vets had to put Star Down, becuase she was having the same exact symptoms. ! We are DEVASTATED! …WE FEEL RESPONSIBLE, HEART BROKEN, ASHAMED… I wish I had read the warnings before acting.. but i honestly thought we were helping them. We miss them very much and are still very upset since this was just 4 days ago, and one right after the other.., Oh, and after talking to a Hartz Rep, they said they had never heard of things like this happening, yet told us to send them our vet bills, and are sending us farms to fill out right away….
We Almost Lost Oscar
This past weekend I was in the grocery store and saw the Hartz flea control so I thought I would try it. Although I usually get my flea control from the vet, I figured if it is sold in the store it should be safe… Several hours after putting it on the back of my cats neck, I witnessed him having a grand mul seizure. This lasted for appropriately one minute. We rushed him to the animal emergency clinic where they kept him over night. He was put on antibiotics to flush the poison out of his system and Valium to stop the seizures and tremors. Although a scary experience, we were lucky that Oscar came through it OK.
I have since found out from my vet that you can put 12 times the amount of the flea products that you can buy from your veterinarian such as Advantage onto you animal and it still would not be as harmful as one dose of Hartz.
Why is this toxic stuff still being manufactured?
Animals are "things," not people
I always get the email or phone call asking, "Why won't anyone put a stop to Hartz? Why isn't there a lawsuit?" Invariably we all think, "If this kind of poisoning were happening to humans, the FDA and media would be all over this and the problem would cease to exist."
The sad truth is that our pets are "property." They're objects with no rights, feelings or emotions. I was reminded of this this afternoon when I received an email from my child's school. The school is adding a service dog to it's staff and we've all been told that:
The service dog is not a pet when the dog is at school; the courts have ruled that an ASDA dog is a "highly trained and well socialized indispensable durable medical device for the child."
The key word here is "device". The courts consider animals devices. Things. Objects.
What are your thoughts on this? Am I wrong or off base?

My kitten Marvin nearly died from the hartz flea collar. They need to be stopped!
poison in a tube!!(hartz flea drops)
i have had the same problem as many on here. we got a new kitten who happen to have fleas which infested my persian cat. the cat is about 5 and at least 10 pounds. i gave all my pets(2 dogs and 3 cats) flea baths and flea collars. my persian cat was pretty bad with the fleas due to the long hair ,so i gave her the hartz flea drops also. well ,i will never use another product from that company again!! my poor cat became extremely lethargic and sick. i felt so bad. at first i had no idea what was goin on. was it the shock of getting bathed or what. oh no no. i decided to go online to try to find some kind of answer when i found this site and many others like it. i called the vet and he said the same thing about hartz products. anyway i induced vomiting like a few others have done on here and also have been bathing her with mild soap and warm water every few hours to get all that poison off her skin. so far she is improving daily. i seriously thought she was goin to die a slow death unless i had her put to sleep. i cant tell you how bad i felt…i was only trying to help her and wound up causing her bigger problems than she started with.how this company gets away with selling this POISON is beyond me ( probably everyone else who had similair problems )
my daughter's best friend
i have a wonderful cat named rascal, he has been a family member for 11 years. i had my daughter 4 years ago and since then, rascal has adopted my daughter and replaced me. he is her best friend! they usually sit with each other every day while she colors, she reads her books to him (even though he doesn't know what she's reading they love each others company) and he sleeps with her and cuddles every night. we recently have started noticing a flea problem, and which was irritating to my daughter even more so since rascal sleeps with her, they were eating on rascal, and my daughter legs! my mom thought she would do me the favor of buying some flea medicine for us since i have alot of money for the frontline. YES, she bought HARTZ FLEA & TICK DROPS ( ultra guard pro ) and who wouldn't trust a company that promotes being safe for cats and dogs, and it's name sounds to be wonderful! well think again! i applied it to rascal on October 3rd and the next day i noticed that he wasn't quite acting like himself. I thought maybe it's because my daughter wasn't home for the day!? the next day i had noticed that he was declining and fast! he wasn't moving hardly at all, he could barely lift his head, he hasn't eaten anything, or drank. he has had a high fever, and drooling worse than any dog i have ever seen! not to mention he could hardly breathe! i immediately gave him a bath to wash the poison off of him ( where i applied it, he washed himself around the area and ingested it ) i had to keep my daughter away for the night, and i brought rascal to the emergency all night animal hospital, where they explained the side affects he is having from the hartz. HOW AM I GOING TO TELL MY 4 YEAR OLD THAT HER BEST FRIEND IS GOING TO DIE FROM THE TREATMENT I THOUGHT WOULD HELP? the vet administered some injections that she thought might save his life, i was able to take rascal home and do some treatments here as well, since i don't have the money to hospitalize him for the 2 days they wanted to keep him. he is still not doing well, i cant get him to eat a thing, therefore i am feeding him the gravy from his food through a syringe. i have made an appointment to get him in to see the vet again, but as sick as he is, my hope is not as high as when i was able to take him home! i have posted a picture of the product with my own story on my facebook page so that all my friends know not to use their products, and asked them to share my story with their friends as well. my daughter has no idea why her best friend is sick, and why she can't play with him. i have prayed every night that he gets better, but have seen no improvement. as the day goes on i wait to bring him in to be seen, i am praying even more that the vet can help save him!
Sweety Kitty almost died!
Last night, my mother and I were called on by my brothers girlfriend who had administered a well known brand of flea med to her cat (the kind in the tube you put on the back of the neck). Not long after she administered the medicine the cat started to convulse, shake and had extremely sensitive skin and extremities. At first we thought it was rat poison but quickly decided it was not as the symptoms were not all there or correct. we found out shortly it was the flea med she gave the cat, it is an over the counter one, a brand called Hartz. We were able to save her last night, we administered 2 teaspoons of peroxide to help her vomit and forced lots of milk and water into her, this helps to keep her hydrated AND keeps vitamins up, she is normal this morning, the young lady stayed up ALL NIGHT to administer the milk and water to her cat every 2 hours. this is scary considering how poplar this brand name is! I was in tears watching and feeling this poor thing convulse in my arms! Something needs to be done by the veterinary association! This brand has GOT to be taken off the market. I have shared this site with EVERYONE I know and have asked them to pass it on.
Just used the carpet powder & I'm worried for my cats…
I have two adult cats that are indoor, but recently found a couple fleas on one of them. So I went to petco to find some flea shampoo and carpet powder without doing any research (I know I know). I first put the carpet powder on my livingroom rug because that is the only piece of carpet I have in my house. I then started doing some research because I had gotten some powder on my hands and even after washing them, they feel like I had powder bleach on them. It feels uncomfortable. Well… After letting it settle I tried to vacuum it up but I don't think I got it all out. My hands feel funny again after vacuuming it a couple times. My cats were just on it and now I'm TERRIFIED because I caught them licking their fur! I just gave them a bath and put my rug outside, but afraid the powder may be lingering. I plan to get a really good vacuum to clean it of the powder before I bring it back in. Im so stressed now and worried for their lives…they are my life. They seem okay right now, but it seems like it takes atleast a day before any symptoms occur. Can anyone give me advice??? After reading everyone's stories…I'm literally in tears. I'm so terribly sorry for everyone's loss.
Hartz flea collar made my cat sick
I used Hartz flea collars on all 4 of my cats who are all under a year old. After about an hour of wearing the flea collars my cats began to act different. Usually my cats will eat anything you put in front of them, but all of a sudden they wouldn't eat any of their treats or chicken I had for them. They were also acting very sluggish and lethargic. I assumed that they may just not be fond of having to wear collars. The next night one of my cats Darwin began crying and I had no idea why. I followed him into the bathroom where I saw him vomiting a weird yellowish green liquid that was sort of frothy and there was also a bit of diarrhea on the floor. I took the collars off each cat after this happened. But, now I'm really not sure what to do and I am not sure if my cat is going to be alright. Darwin seems more relaxed now, he is laying down in the bathroom. Is there ANYTHING to fix this or am I too late?
Hartz KILLED MY BABIES!
Recently i purchased Hartz flea remover for my two kittens. I tried everything in the petstore nearest me to get rid of there fleas. I decided to go to another petstore and ask one of the employees to recommend something. He chose Hartz and said "With a name like Hartz, who wouldnt trust it?". That sold me. Taking home my box of Hartz I felt relieved my babies would have some relief from thier constant scratching. I bathed them and put on the drops as recommended. I woke up the next morning to let my 6 week old puppies (as you can see i'm a pet lover and future vet tech) out of thier cage, when i saw the gruesome sight. Layin by the water bowl was Tyga, my 3 month old grey tabby, stiff and with blood coming out of his mouth. About a foot away movement caught my eye. It was Frankie, my 9 month old larger grey tabby, having a seizure. I quickly grbbed my cats, left the puppies with my boyfriend, and rushed to the vet. All i kept thinking was I bet it was that flea stuff, that darn cheap flea stuff, and man was i right. My vet confirmed it. Hartz killed one of my babies and made the other have seizures. There was no way to save him, the vet said. Just great, Hartz killed BOTH of my babies. Dont let this happen to you.
Sweet Angels Lost the Battle-On the way back home to Heaven.
I had no idea that today would be these adorable little babies last day to be cuddled and loved and run around and nick at each other's tails, just like every previous day since they were born. They had a very short 6 week run at life.
I used something cheaper than Hartz, I don't even think it had a specific brand but one thing it did have? IT DID HAVE THE POISION. Please protest everyone.
It was a quiet tuesday afternoon when I decided to bring my kittens inside to feed them some warm milk and play with them just as we would any other day. This time I noticed a flea or two on them, so what did I think; I thought "Oh, I think I've got something for that, yes, yes I do." (A friend had given me a tube of Flea and Tick Drops years ago) I didn't think it would be as potent nor did I think that several hours later my little babies would be laying in the floor foaming at the mouth, jolting threw every muscle in their little bodies and slowly dying…
Needless to say they look nothing like in the picture now. They are limp, cold, wet little bodies with a very faint heartbeat and no breath left in them. The smaller baby died in my arms.
Now I have a sad mother cat and a broken heart. I will never forgive myself as long as I live.
I can't believe trying to kill something as small as a flea can murder your pet. They really need to take this shit off the market or atleast start making warning labels so that people will know that it is a quick killer of YOUR PETS NOT THEIR FLEAS!
The fleas are still alive…

Perry Searches Pacific For U.S. Servicemen
Get Breaking News First
AUSTIN (AP) - Gov. Rick Perry and wife Anita Perry have traveled to a remote South Pacific archipelago to search for U.S. servicemen missing from World War II battles.
The Perrys traveled to the island of Peleliu in the Republic of Palau, where he and other volunteer searchers will search for about 80 U.S. airmen missing after being shot down by Japanese forces in 1944 and '45.
Peleliu was the site of a bloody Marine Corps landing and two-month battle on the Japanese-held island that left about 6,500 U.S. Marines and 3,200 U.S. soldiers dead, injured or missing. About 11,000 Japanese troops died and only 202 were taken prisoner.
The Perrys are scheduled to be in Palau through April 17.

Arizona Diamondbacks manager: Patrick Corbin's injury is a 'big kick into the gut'
Originally published: Mar 18, 2014 - 5:39 pm
The 24-year-old went 14-8 last season with a 3.41 ERA, and he was expected to be even better this season.
But things have been put on hold -- possibly for a while -- as the left-hander could be out for the season due to an elbow injury.
It's a tough blow for both the player and the team.
"Patrick, it's a big kick into the gut," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson told Burns and Gambo on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Tuesday. "He's a great kid, a manager's dream.
"Nobody saw it coming; he didn't, we didn't."
Gibson, who is with the team in Australia ahead of their season-opening series against the L.A. Dodgers, said between 25 and 33 percent of all Major League pitchers go through the same type of injury Corbin is dealing with. It's similar to what Daniel Hudson is trying to come back from.
Hudson, who has undergone Tommy John surgery twice, has not pitched in a big league game since June 26, 2012.
That does not mean Corbin will follow the same path, of course, as there are many variables that will determine how this ordeal plays out. As Gibson said, there has been no decision yet on how to proceed, either with rehabilitation or surgery.
"It's a significant injury and it's something that's going to have to be dealt with either way."
But how it even got to this point is something that the skipper thinks about.
"You try and figure out why; he did everything right," Gibson added. "Again, he's on spot with everything he does. I know he's really upset about it, as he should be. We miss him over here.
"He'll come back, he'll be stronger than ever, and our day will come together."
