Hi everyone - I'm reading all of the emails about various products - very interesting. My only comment if I may....- Sargent and Hartz WORST products on the market - working at the vet's office - I was amazed at the amount of pets brought in due to reactions causing sickness from these company's products. Sadly, t here were even deaths that occurred. On several occassions the clients contacted the company(ies) - they were continually vague and did not accept any responsibility for the issue at hand. I know nothing about Sentry since no local vets carry that brand.
I don't even buy Hartz/Sargent toys...

It is an old product and used as pesticides. Tipper also has neurological symtoms. He is fly biting which is biting at invisible flies. And even after 4 days and being washed with Dawn 4 times is still chewing his foot and shaking it. I called Sargents the maker of Sentry and complained and they said to take to vet and I asked who would pay for it. They said to submit the receipt and they review it case per case. Right! They have a natural product also ,but how can I trust hem? A natural product with peppermint oils and such. I have tried frontline plus which works but one dog went in circles for an hour with it. And Comfortus (pill from Eli Lilly) and they all vomited. It has become a challenge to keep them flea free. Also on another subject, my friends dog tested heartworm positive and I cannot stress enough to keep all dogs on heartworm preventative year round. They medicice to cure it is limited availibility from England. Read about it from Merial the maker. --- In [email protected] , "uncasheville_mom" <yorkiluvr@...> wrote: > > My yorkie Jasmine had a siezure after using Hartz & Sentry.
