Hopefully they stick to a ban this time, and don't come out with other "different" kinds that still make animals sick or die.

Yes they are changing their formula and it is about time- also Sergeant's Pet Products is doing a label awareness campaign in the hopes of educating the public to read the labels carefully on all their products and be sure it is safe to use on the animal in question

It's about time! Too late for all the cats that died or became sick. Just yesterday we had a cat come into my work severely ill from a Hartz cat flea drop treatment. I don't know how they got away with this for so long!

I can't tell you how happy I was when I read that. It's about time; too many kitties have been sick or lost their lives because of Hartz.
I've read so many stories about people who lost their kitties, it's heartbreaking. It should never have been allowed to go on this long.

I cringe everytime I walk by the flea medications at a store and see those. If I see someone looking at them, I will tell them how dangerous they are. I know I probably come across as some crazy person to some people but hey I dont care if it will save a cat.
