Due to recent events and Speedofsound's experience with the Hartz Flea treatment. I am posting this thread and pinning it, so that anyone who visits here is aware of how fatal it can be.

Thank you for doing this. If I can contribute to one cat not being hurt/killed and one family not seeing the horrible, horrible effects of this, then it's worth it.

Please use this thread for knowledge purposes. Don't slam the company, just simply make your statement with your wallets and purses. This is the only thing which will ultimately prove effective.

Mention this to other cat loving friends who may not frequent this page, as word can travel very fast these days.

Some pyrethrinoids are "safe" to use on cats (we have some in France of this family) but it depends only of the concentration of the product. If there's too much, you'll have a reaction... (same applies to dogs who can react too if the product is in excess !).
