Hartz flea an tick shampoo killed my dog!!

I am so sorry for your loss. Pugs are my favorite dog, that is really terrible.

Thanks for warning me to not use it on my dogs.

Sorry for your loose.

Don't use any flea and tick shampoo for that reason. What we use on both our cats and dogs is baby shampoo, all fourteen of em' and none of them have fleas. There is something in the baby shampoo that fleas don't like.

I'm getting a lot of people saying that Dawn dish liquid is best.

 

[big brown horse]

Dawn, wow!

These days, we just run them up to the "Sound" for a salt water swim. No fleas, no smell. Everyone has fun.

Dont have the salt water option here. Could take them over the line to Tn an them take a swim in the river. Probably kill the fleas but they would smell something offal an theirs a chance they may glow in the dark.

As the north Ga saying goes "Only thing good come out of Tn is the river an its full of......... Yell, you know"




I was talking to someone yesterday an they were telling me that they used a product sold to kill the fleas in your house. Apparently you dust the house with it an then vacuum it up later. I'm not familiar with the product they were talking about. But anyway when they started vacuuming it up they started having stroke like symptoms(numb, an unmovable right side). Scared the crap out of them.

While we are on the subject, and excuse me for stealing your thread for a bit, but...

A very dear friend of mine rented a carpet cleaner from the grocery store and bought the cleaning fluid that is also made by the same company.

Her dog walked through the room later when the carpet was almost completely dry. That night, she recalled that her dog laid down to lick her paws...a normal thing for her to do. She had to be put to sleep within a matter of days. She stopped eating and drinking and whined constantly. The vet wasn't sure what it was at first. Finally after putting all the pieces together, the vet found that she was suffering from a severely damaged esophagus, causing her unbearable pain.... My friend had the poor pup put to sleep when they found that there was nothing they could do.

This happened in 2001, so they may have changed their formula, but PLEASE be aware that this could happen.

I am so sorry about the death of your dog. That is heartbreaking.

I've worked for Animal Emergency for 15 years and cannot begin to count the number of cats and dogs that have serious reactions to Hartz flea products. Why Hartz? I don't know.

Again, so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss of your beloved friend.
If I need something to get rid of something else, I have learned from my own experiences not to rely on anything that is a poison, if it is a manmade poison, I don't use it.

That also goes for human lice poisons out on the market.
For our family dog, I used monthly a human shampoo to kill fleas - Pert.
