Do not use Hartz flea medication of ferrets or any other animals. There has been many reports of Hartz flea medication causing seizures and even killing pets. On ferrets, Advantage and Frontline are safe, but always read precautions before using and consult your veterinarian.
I don't see why it would make a difference. There the same brands, and then it will be double the chance f not having flea or ticks... =]
Is really crappy. Us Frontline! Hartz brand is less effective.
Many vets agree that it does and there is a law suit against Hartz flea/tick products. Don't buy any of the Hartz products! Here are some good websites for you to go to and be the judge (it isn't worth losing your pet over.) http://www.hartzvictims.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=8 http://tippedearclan.wordpress.com/2007/01/21/beware-hartz-tick-and-flea-control-products/
No. The only approved flea treatement for ferrets is Revolution, which is usually available from your vet. You can use the kitten dose of Frontline to treat your ferret for fleas, just use one drop per pound of ferret. (2lb ferret= 2 drops)
Hartz products are available over the counter and are not carried by most vets. Even if your vet carries the products it is unlikely that he would accept coupons. Hartz flea treatments are available at most major retailers and you can use the coupon there.
Your veterinarian should have the appropriate medication to treat for fleas. It is best to check with him/her before buying any over the counter flea treatments. Some OTC flea medications can be potentially toxic to the animal (ie: Hartz brand).
Most pet stores sell Frontline and Advantage. While these are not approved for use in ferrets, it is safe to use the smallest kitten dose on ferrets. About one drop per pound of ferret will suffice. Revolution is the only ferret approved flea medicine (it also kill heartworm). It is available at most vet offices.
As long as your children don't get it in their mouths, it would be fine. I would say, if they're 4+ it should be ok.
All commercial flea and tick preparations are insecticides. That is why they are applied on the backs of dogs, so the animal cannot lick and thus ingest the product. For safety's sake, I would not let a toddler handle, kiss or lie beside a dog being treated with this medication. Consult your veterinarian for more information.
Dogs can get fleas just about anywhere. All it takes is one, and before you know it, they're all over the place. On top of it, there's more than one kind of flea. Where I live, we have the common flea and what we call a `sand flea`, which is worse than the regular ones. I'd suggest a regular treatment of something like Hartz 4 in 1, which is an easy to apply monthly treatment. Where I live, it's quite effective.
Not until 30 days after initial treatment. Too often can poison the animal; ensure that you are using correct dose for animals size; use quality products (aka not Hartz or Wal-Mart purchases).
