My cat had an outbreak of fleas. I went to my local PetCo to buy a flea control product for my 1 year old male cat (12 pounds). I bought "Hartz UltraGuard Pro Flea and Tick Drops". I followed the directions carefully. It was supposed to be safe for cats 5 pounds and over and cats over 12 weeks old.
Within an hour my cat became lethargic, when he was usually very playful. I because disturbed that I had poisoned him. I gave him a bath trying to wash off the drops, but it did not work. He became limp and did not eat for several days. I just held him in my lap (something he would not usually allow me to do) hoping and praying that he would make it through without damage. Thank goodness he was a healthy large male or I think I would have lost him! He is my companion pet that I have a prescription for. He really does keep my spirits up.
I then began investigating this product and found it was very toxic to cats. I could not believe that this product would be allowed on the market with such a horrible reputation. I then began buying Frontline in a bottle over the internet. It is easy to measure in a syringe and apply to your cat or dog according to the instructions. I have never had any problem with adverse reactions with Frontline!
