Hartz Control Pet Care System One Spot for Cats

Pros: Cheaper than the one spot applications you can get at the vet.
Cons: Cat seemed to have an allergic reaction to it.

Hartz Control Pet Care System One Spot for Cats can be an affordable, effective way to keep your cat or kitten flea free.

What does it do?

According to Hartz, it controls and prevents fleas, kills flea eggs and...

Pros: ECONOMICAL, EASY TO USE, WORKS GREAT
Cons: LEAVES AN OILY SPOT FOR ABOUT 24 HOURS ON YOUR CAT'S BACK

Once again, it's scratch, scratch, AND SCRATCH time in our home. Our beloved "twins", Simon and Neser (SIAMESE Brother and Sister), were scratching, yowling and making all of our lives unbearable. Anyone with siamese cats knows that if they...

Pros: Easy to use, cheap
Cons: The "wet spot"

I am a huge advocate of giving preventative flea medicine to pets. One experience with fleas was enough for me—I’ve used Program/Frontline ever since. Until three months ago, that is.

I moved to Virginia in April with five months’...

Pros: Very affordable, and it really does stop fleas from hatching
Cons: It can be tricky to get it on a squirming cat; the hair where it is applied can look oily for a few days after treatment

Life with fleas is no circus.

Okay. I feel better now. I just had to get that out of my system.

Flea control can be one of the trickier aspects of pet ownership, especially in a pestilential place like southeast Texas. I'm convinced...

Pros: Affordable. Easiest flea control method - prevents eggs from hatching and larvae from growing.
Cons: Does not kill adult fleas.

Nothing makes me more crazed than fleas. And with three cats it can be quite a task to keep them flea free during the hot Southern California summers. I always sit with the cats and check for 'tiny livestock' hoping not to find any. Hartz One Spot...

Pros: Inexpensive, widely available in grocery stores
Cons: possible sensitivity, not for very heavy infestations

Apologies for the title, but One Spot does just that. Best of all it de-bugs kitty without a trip to the vet or the need to place medication within those fang-filled jaws. I had been a fairly happy user of oral flea medications prescribed by the vet...

Pros: none, in my opinion.
Cons: after applying it my cat became extremely ill, but no way to prove they are connected.

I have six cats living with me right now, and recently they've gotten fleas, much to my dismay. I've fought fleas before and it's an uphill battle, not to mention expensive. So, when I went to my local grocery store and found Hartz One Spot for Cats for...

Pros: controls fleas
Cons: causes distress to cat

I have two cats and have used Hartz One Spot on both cats. My larger cat is a domestic long hair and he seems to handle the flea control application well. He's not happy about it and runs away if he knows that it's time for an application, just as pets...

Pros: Really works at getting rid of fleas.
Cons: Leaves an oily film for a little while

First off, I have to many cats and dogs to buy the expensive stuff from the vet to treat my animals each month for fleas. I decided to try the Hartz One Spot on my cats to see if it would really work at keeping the fleas away.

First off,...

Pros: Product does everything it claims to do.
Cons: Ugly wet looking fur for a day or two.

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am an avid animal lover, especially cats. It is for that reason that I own a “couple” of feline companions. Sugar is my favorite one; she has a long beautiful coat of silken fur spotted with brown, orange,...

Pros: Inexpensive.
Cons: Greasy, didn't control the fleas.

There was no denying it any more. They weren't going to go away on their own. We had a flea issue. I had brought a new kitten into the house. He only had a couple fleas! And I had shampooed him when I first brought him home. My older cat glared at me...

Pros: none
Cons: many cats may be allergic to this product

I usually use another brand (Advantage) but saw this in the store and decided to try it because it was 1/3 the price. I got my money's worth and then some! 5 minutes after I applied this to my cat, she had an allergic reaction and went into...

Pros: Less Expensive
Cons: Dosen't work

I decided to give a less expensive flea control a try. What a big mistake. I have used Advantage for almost a year and a half. I decided to try Hartz because it was a lot less expensive. There are 3 tubes per package for three applications.
...

Pros: Easy to obtain, probably DOES kill eggs/larvae though you'd never know it, price, application (spot control)
Cons: No way of telling if the substance works unless the adult component works,VERY toxic (according to vet), NOT an all in one solution (but neither is Advantage)

....eggs? Larvae?....big deal! The eggs and Larvae are NOT what were biting me and my 6 cats. To be fair to the product it's not easily seen whether or not the desired effect is attained. In the instance of eggs and larvae one SHOULD attempt to remove...

Pros: None.
Cons: Can be VERY dangerous for your pet.

I am writing after seeing the results of this product's use in the small animal veterinary practice ...
