So recently a friend of mine linked me a website called hartzvictims.org, and I decided to check it out.

I was absolutely horrified by what I saw. Accounts of pets having chemical burns on their necks from Hartz pet products, and some pets even dying. What made me even more sick was the fact that this company, along with other companies like Sergeant's, was getting away with this. The EPA has not set high enough standards for pet products, as there are pesticides known for being hazardous to humans and pets, EVEN IN LOSE DOSES. One pesticide used in many if not all Hartz products is Tetrachlorvinphos, or TCVP. You can read more about it, along with stories from many pet owners about their pets getting sick or dying from Hartz products, in the following links, as well as other informative sites about pet products.

Not only chemicals, but some natural products, like aloe, are poisonous to your pets. More information can be found here.

As an animal lover and owner of two cats, I am horrified by what I have learned today, and I want to do something to help animals everywhere and save innocent lives from suffering by the hands of these products. I started a petition just today to have not only Hartz products, but all pet products to be tested, all ingredients labeled, and even removed, and for the EPA to set higher standards for pet products. If you own your own pets, have owned pets that may have suffered or may not have suffered by the hands of these products, or just love animals and want to help out, please spread the word about how dangerous pet products from companies like Hartz, Sergeant's, and others, for there are quite a few companies selling dangerous pet products. Tell people not to buy pet products that contain pesticides, warn them about these companies, and spread this petition to all the corners of the internet, so that people are made aware of the dangers of the products these companies are selling, and so we can make it known to the public how loose and lawless standards for pet products truly are.
