what is the difference between the frontline or advantage and the much cheaper hartz they sell at ta2007-11-25 12:28:04Answers:

A very long, long time ago Hartz sold high quality pet supplies and food. They set up a distribution system through supermarkets that worked very well and made them rich and successful.

Then a couple of decades ago, they sold their company. The new owners capitalized on the Hertz reputation and distribution set up. They reduced the quality of their products to the bare minimum (and sometimes not even that).

If you'd like to test this for yourself, buy some bulk catnip at a pet store and a package of Hartz catnip. Offer both to a cat on separate occasions. With real catnip, the kitty will become very playful and kind of blissed out. With the Hartz, I doubt if you'll see much of any reaction at all.

This is actually a case of you get what you pay for. Frontline is the best (in my opinion) The cheap stuff is exactly that. cheap stuff that don't work.

---

Frontline advantage works. Hartz doesn't.

---

I have tried the cheaper Harz. It didn't work. The advantix works. No more fleas or ticks since I started the advantix.

---

I use frontline and find it very effective. I've heard good results on advantage as well. But Hartz products can be more dangerous for your pet, and less effective on the fleas. Go with Frontline or Advantage.

---

Not only does Hartz not work but there have been instances of VERY bad reactions to it!! Sometime resulting in death.

Advantage for cats only works to kill adult fleas and flea larva. Frontline works to kill flea larva, flea eggs, adult fleas, ticks, and lice. To choose the best flea and tick product for your cat or dog, you have to consider whether the animal is indoors or outside most of the time. The cheaper Hartz products they sell at Target is just that- Cheap! You get what you pay for, so if you find that your cat still has fleas, then you know why.

Go with the frontline or advantafe either one, bth are very good. I tried to save a few bucks this summer, and paid for it with both ticks and fleas.

---

Hartz has killed pets before.I've never heard of the others doing that.

---

I have always used advantage and it is well worth the extra bucks.It treats and prevents fleas as well as killing the larval flea stages in the surroundings of the treated pet.I once used Frontline and it did little for the dogs when they were in a flea infested area.But the advantage works regardless.

the cheapest hartz products only kills fleas, but it does not kill eggs, larve and coons. You will keep recieve adult fleas all the time because eggs falls into the carpet. I've heard a lot of sad stories about Hartz products and other products like bio-spot products, zodiac (some), they gave pets terrible reactions and they actually die or has to be put into sleep (too late for the vet to pull the pet out of that situation). Most pets are very senistive to the flea collars.
