DO NOT USE HARTZ FLEA AND TICK PRODUCTS ON YOUR PETS!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys, I know that’s it’s been a while since I posted but I need your help on getting the word out on something so important that it could mean life and death for your furry friends.

So my family has been having a hard time with fleas at the moment so we decided to go to Walmart to find some flea drops for the cats. We put the drops on all 3 of my cats two nights ago thinking that it would help them.

Yesterday, after getting home from work I found my youngest cat, Cleo, who is a beautiful Siamese lifeless on the floor. This cat which was once full of life and spunk had diarrhea all over herself and she was in a weird sprawled out position shaking like crazy.

I rushed her to the vet who quickly directed me to a pet hospital because it was that serious. When I got there they immediately took her back and gave her fluids and a bath to get the stuff off of her fur.

At this time I was in hysterics crying and pleading to God to not take her because I had just lost two other cats earlier this year and the thought of losing another was unbearable.

They then informed me that this was apparently a very common occurrence and they see hundreds of pets come through there each year with the same problem. Hartz is a neurological toxin, and although it does not specify on the box ANYWHERE, it is a poison to smaller animals.

Thankfully she’s doing much better this morning, and I might be able to pick her up later today. Since then I have done some research and along with giving animals seizures, it also seems to give some of them chemical burns. I even read one heartbreaking story in which a woman couldn’t afford the medical costs and had to watch her poor dog die.

Yes, I am going to have to come up with $1,500 to pay for my little girl, but she’s worth it. I’m going to definitely be looking into taking legal action against this company. A POISON, SUCH AS THIS, SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE MARKET!!!!! (Especially a place as easy to access as Walmart) I can’t let this keep happening to poor defenseless animals.

Helping Your Dog Overcome Separation Anxiety

We know that our dogs are happy to see us when we come home. They’re usually right at the door, tails wagging and wet noses pushing their way under our hand, looking for a pat on the head. While most dogs can handle the hours of separation, others can’t.

The Humane Society lists the most common scenarios that can trigger separation anxiety.

Dogs accustomed to constant human companionship then left alone for the first time.

Dogs who have suffered a traumatic event (from their viewpoint), such as time at a shelter or boarding kennel.

A change in the family’s routine or structure or the loss of a family member or another pet.

Some symptoms include:

Destructive or inappropriate behavior such as digging, scratching at doors, howling, and urination that occurs only when your dog is separated from you.

Your dog becomes unduly agitated and may drool, pace, or bark as you prepare to leave.

Your dog remains anxious even if other family members remain in the house. For this reason, adding another pet to the home rarely solves the problem.

After you return, your dog spends hours glued to your side, refusing to leave for even a few moments.

Separation anxiety has been the cause of many chewed and torn-up households, but even worse, it’s led to many abandoned dogs. If your pet suffers from severe anxiety when you’re gone for the day – or even for a few hours of errands – take into consideration some of these dog training tips to help you both achieve peace of mind.

1. Don’t make it a big deal. Treat all exits and entrances casually. Don’t make a big ordeal out of saying goodbye to your dog and he won’t feel as worked up or have as much time to build anxiety before you’re out the door.

2. Leave a scent. Whether it’s a pillow you’ve been sleeping on or an entire hamper of dirty clothes, leave some sort of comforting scent for your dog. Because he or she perceives the world so acutely through a sense of smell, the right aroma can have a sedative effect on any anxiety.

3. Large-space confinement. Don’t crate your pet, but make a room where he or she won’t suffer as much from anxiety induced urination or chewing. Make the space as comfortable as you can and be sure to install barriers (child gates work well) that can’t be jumped over.

4. Work on being in separate rooms. Take small steps. While you’re at home, work on having your dog stay in a different room than you. Start by backing off and then gradually moving out of your pet’s vision. Seeing that out-of-sight doesn’t mean gone forever can help lessen his or her attachment.

5. Medicate. Your veterinarian can prescribe safe, anti-anxiety medication that is non-sedating and will help him or her get through the day. These medications are often used in conjunction with behavior modification and can greatly increase the chances of success. A consultation with your veterinarian or a veterinary behaviorist is a good place to start.
