I acquired a package of Hartz Advanced Care 4in 1 Flea&Tick Drops plus and want to know if
it's safe to use on my cats. I have used Advantage and Frontline in the past.

Personally, I wouldn't.

Throw it in the trash. It's not worth the risk, IMO. You can probably do a
google search on the product name, or even any phrase like "Hartz product kills
cat" and come up with plenty of reasons to throw it away.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend it, there have been a lot of nasty
stories connected with the products of this company. Advantage and
Frontline are known and respected products and they work, I'd stick with
them.

Thanks everyone. It's in the garbage.

Good job!  I have no clue why the company continues to produce flea products
as I have heard nothing but bad about it.  Advantage might be expensive but
at least you have peace of mind that it won't kill your cat!

I have a similar question about Zodiac drops. A lady (who is sick in a board and care
home) left me with her cat and all kinds of cat care stuff. I presume Zodiac is in the
same class as Hartz?

Very safe presumption that.  If you have them, get rid of them.

Very WRONG presumption.

I've been using various Zodiac flea control products for about 20 years,
and never had a problem with them.

Then why, Bud, has every vet in my area lumped them with Hartz?

If Hartz and Zodiac were so bad that they were "killing" animals, then they
wouldn't be on the market in america and they would have been sued some time
ago.

That's true enough, but doesn't answer the question in the original post..

Well, Dennis, first off, I doubt you've surveyed EVERY Vet in your area,
and second, I have no idea but I DO know that Zodiac is NOT Hartz,
and maybe the Vets you have talked to about this just aren't well-informed.

Huh? Where do you get the idea that products that kill animals (or
people for that matter) are not for sale in this country? Cigarrettes
anyone?
And yes, there is a class-action lawsuit against Hartz.

You might want to do a little research before making the above
statements. Hartz *has* been sued.

Stop pretending you're some nice guy.  While you try to appear to care about
your cats you have agreed with posts that advocate the extermination of all
Palestinians just for having lived on lands Israelis want to seize.  You are
not some nice guy, you are a bigot that spreads ethnic hatred.

They intentionally target women and children to murder for their own
selfish ends. They are not worthy to belong to the family of mankind.
They SHOULD be wiped out. They have it coming.
I laughed and I danced in the STREET when Israel snuffed out these
last two evil jew-hating leaders of palestinian islamic terror. I
can't tell you how happy it makes a good person feel to see this kind
of evil being wiped out. More power to Israel. Inter the palestinian
cur dogs. Put them on reservations. March them into the sea. Grind
their bones to make the bread. It matters not to me. Just so long as
it's slow and painful.

> just for having lived on lands Israelis want to seize.

Jehovah God gave that land to the Jews. It was His covenent with them.
The palestinians are spitting into the wind. Their plight is hopless.
But, they are free to do as they please. Like the Bible says... "God
make the wicked too... for punishment"

>  You are
> not some nice guy, you are a bigot that spreads ethnic hatred.

He is a REALIST. The palestinians confine and categorize their own
selves as an ethnic blight. THEY label their own selves as subhuman.
Don't blame us for noticing it. That IS their desire, is it not...? To
be noticed?

There is just no way to put a good spin on your ethnic hatred.  That your
"God" gave you the right to take some piece of land and kill the inhabitants
does not jive with international law.  You are trying to defend an
indefensible position.  You are morally repugnant.  Also please show me
where Islam labels it's followers subhuman but not here, this is a a
newsgroup for cat owners.

The palestinians set the stage for their own ethnic stereotyping by
their actions, as I specifically laid out above. We merely react to
their actions. How much clearer can I make it for you? Re-read what I
have written above and then address my points as I addressed yours:

I'm never going to respond to this loser again.  IBen Getiner's google
history shows him to be a homophobic, anti-abortion, arab-hating, christian
lunatic who appears to have no life purpose other than trolling.  He proudly
advocates the full declawing of cats and attacks anyone who disagrees with
him.  He is a Beatles fan, but they all killfiled him long ago for his
far-right rantings.  With views like his, it is no wonder he has no life
outside of trolling usenet groups.

The Professor has you pegged, LabRatt. Google ain't your friend. I might add
to Professor's list that you're also a coward, a moron, and a deeply
disturbed loser who clearly has no home life.<shudders at the mere thought
of IBen's "home"...>

And what's up with the endless flurries of hateful 4am posts,
IBenGetinNone? I'll bet even your cats despise you.

You insist on bringing politics to a cat newsgroup but are too coward to debate this on
soc.culture.israel. If you want to defend your terror friends do it on the appropriate
news group. Am Israel Chai.

Throw the Hartz crap in the garbage (or return it for a refund) and go
buy a decent medication instead.

Never had a problem with any Hartz product, Adam. Some of the best
I've used, as a matter of fact. That's been my experience.

Although my cats haven't had problems with Hartz, better to stick with
Advantage or Frontline (have you had problems with them that's why
you're going to try Hartz?). Too many people have reported their cats
having problems with Hartz.

The only reason I ask about Hartz and Zodiac is this stuff was left for me and I hate to
waste, but given the answers and what I saw on Google I shall throw these out.
