This is what the toxins in the Hartz products can do to animals! Don't let this happen to your pet!

Stop Walmart From Selling Hartz Products!!

Target:
all animal lovers and everyone else

Hartz flea and tick products are nothing but toxic chemicals people are putting on their animals every month! The public needs to be aware of how harmful these products are to their pets! The primary active ingredient is an organophosphate insecticide (OP) which is derived from phosphoric acid and is among the most acutely toxic of all pesticides to animals. Hartz's products are regulated not by the FDA, but by the EPA because of its harmful ingredients! OPs are nerve poisons. Please help in getting these harmful products off the shelves!

We the undersigned are concerned about the well-being of our pets. When we see fleas, we know we need to get rid of them, so we go to the store and buy a cheap, over-the-counter product which we think will work on these pests because they are sold in stores, so they are safe right? Wrong!! Hartz flea and tick products are very unsafe! The primary ingredient is an organophosphate insecticide which is derived from phosphoric acid and is among the most acutely toxic of all pesticides to animals! This ingredient is the main concern which has caused side effects in pets such as depression, vomiting, drooling, neurological symptoms, cardiovascular symptoms, and if not taken care of right away, can cause death. We love Walmart, but knowing that you sell this product is very concerning because it seems that by having this product on your shelves, you are saying that you are not concerned with your consumer's well-being and selling the product is just another dollar to you. We know Walmart is a "people" store and tries to make everyone happy with your low prices and good customer service. So one less product on the shelves is not going to hurt your business because the people love Walmart! There are other alternatives to the Hartz products, or you can just not sell flea and tick products at all. There are plenty of pet shops and vet clinics who carry the safe flea and tick products, so why not let them? Cheaper is not always better! If you had a pet, would you put a product on them that could potentially cause extreme discomfort or possibly death? Why sell it to others?
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter!

We recently had a litter of Rottweiler pups, and unfortunately lost 7 of the 8 to an infection in the mother's milk. The one last puppy we were hand feeding on Vet prescribe formula, and we ran out. A purchase was made of the Hartz Puppy Milk Replacement formula. Come to find within 10 hrs of digesting the formula, we lost the puppy due to intestinal infection and the puppy was not able to push stool out of his body.

I will never use ANY Hartz products on any of my pets, and urge WAL-MART to pull all Hartz product from their shelves. Hartz should be ashamed to have made such a product, and taint such innocent lives of pets.

We had a litter of 8 Rottyweilier puppies I saved 1 out of the 8 to be able to keep him for a some of 1 1/2 weeks later to run out of Ebsilac and to go to Walmart to get Hartz brand puppy milk replacement for it to kill him in less than 10 hours... Walmart please ban the Hartz product it kills animals...

Not no more

Do you have a Hartz story?

Are you willing to sacrifice your pet by applying Hartz products to them?

I made the mistake of using Hartz flea medication on a rescue cat years ago, resulting in seizures and near death of the kitty. Hartz continues to market products known to seriously harm and kill pets, just to line their pockets. It's disgusting, and they should be shut down.

No, I don't have a Hartz story.

I wouldn't use Hartz products on my pets. I'm not using any dangerous products on animals.
