 ouch Jul 14, 2009
By Evelyn Pollins
These drops were so harsh, yet did nothing. We followed the directions to the best of our ability (appplying 4-5 drops a day, then swabbing out), but after 5 days we had to stop because our cat's ear had become so irritated she was rubbing the fur off of her paw and ear from cleaning it so much. Once we stopped, the entire inside of her ear scabbed up and flaked off, shedding disgusting ear nuggets all over our apartment for several days. The scab-shedding has finally stopped, but she still has ear mites!

Horrible! My cat hates me now. Jul 10, 2010
By Lynn Li

My poor cat has ear mites. I diligently followed the instructions and her ears are all red and scaly. Terrible terrible product. You're better off going to the feed store and buying ivermectin paste. Now that's about the same price, maybe a buck or two more and figure out the correct dosage (24 MICROGRAMS/ kilo).
Sucks sucks suck!

Don't buy this Dec 10, 2010
By Holland C. St John
I've had cats for over 50 years as pets, and ear mite problems have occurred occasionally over the years. Other ear mite treatments I've used in the past seem to work fine. These don't do anything. Not only that they are expensive but the packaging is misleading. It says each tube has 100 drops. I got 40 out of the second tube (the only one I counted). Buy another brand.

DANGEROUS Jun 29, 2011
By CED
This only gets one star because it won't let me rate it as zero. DO NOT buy this to use on your pet! I decided I would use it for a couple of days between when I noticed my cat had mites and when the vet could fit her in. I only used it once and I'm glad that was it! The vet said that he has seen animals die from using it. She's now on prescriptions to knock out the infection caused by it irritating her ears. Don't take the risk!

Another ineffective Hartz product Jan 28, 2012
By KatyKatIL
"KatyKat"
Wondering how Hartz even stays in the pet product business.
I am guessing it is from a lot of one-time customers!
We already knew to not use flea products from them, and not to buy their
catnip (it comes from China, and the last box infected an entire tub of
catnip I'd had of another brand with some sort of strange little bugs. I had
to discard a huge amount of catnip!). Now I am passing on this product too,
and will never buy Hartz items again.
We just used this for our two cats. While they had no visible ear mites,
both were starting to scratch at their ears quite a bit, which is often the
first sign of mites starting up. We always treat both cats at the same time
so we can mark it on the calendar.
Well, this product irritated their ears so much! I did the right amount of drops in
each ear (and this item is extremely oily). I rubbed it in, then carefully wiped off the outer
ear with a cotton ball to get any excess. I did this a couple times that evening, because
they'd flip their heads and get more oil on the outer edge. I didn't want them ingesting this
if at all possible, so was pretty diligent about wiping the outer ear.
By the next day, our older cat's ears were fiery hot to the touch! It was like he had a fever.
He was still messing with his ears, but this time, it seemed more from discomfort than itchiness.
He was also trying to rub his ears on the carpet, never a good sign. By the following day, his
ear was so red, I was afraid it was going to need a vet trip. I took a warm washcloth and gently
washed his ears off to get any remaining medicine off his ears as much as possible. I took a Q-tip to
remove what I could a little bit further in, but you can't go very far in on a cat's ear.
Our youngest one hid from me for the rest of the evening, and I can only assume that she too was
not feeling well from the medicine. Around midnight, I went into the bathroom and found that she
had thrown up all of her dinner (from around 5 pm) into a big pile on the bathroom floor. She felt
miserable! I cleaned her ears as much as possible too - she probably ingested a little bit though
since she hid for several hours.
This stuff must burn like fire to the cats!
I know a fungicide is going to be a little uncomfortable - medicine does have to work.
But it doesn't have to be so painful, and cause the cats so much misery.
Hartz needs to get out of the pet business, or stick to just making dishes or balls.
Most of their stuff comes from China, and I think it must have a lot of loose guidelines there for
purity of product.
I am DONE with all Hartz items. You've caused my cats problems for the last time!
