Not even close. If you look up consumer reports on Hartz products, you will be able to see a trend.

I've never tried Hartz, but I have to say, Frontline is friggin amazing. My cat had horrible fleas. I put that stuff on her and 20 minutes later fleas were falling off of her dead.

No not at all. And what I like about Frontline is I DON'T use it every few months. I find I can use it once or twice for the whole season. It's that strong. Be careful about using it on some cats and Collies (Shetland Sheepdogs or the bigger kind).

I use Hartz flea and tick prevention on my pets and I find it works well, but my pets are not outside a lot. I would by Frontline if yours are.

From my experience, Hartz and other cheaper brands are much more likely to cause pain and skin irritation on my cats, so I think it's well worth it to use a better product like Frontline, which has never caused any issues for the kitties, and lasts longer.

I have been using Hartz to PREVENT fleas, and found a month agao my cat has fleas. I have also used their shampoo that says it kills adults and eggs three times in a month and he STILL has fleas. I am so mad that I wasted my money!! He is a strictly indoor cat and if it worked at all like it claims...we should be flea free, but no! Do not use Hartz!

No. I tried it in hopes I could take a cheaper route and ended up having to buy brand name stuff too so it cost MORE not less. Bite the bullet and spend the money.
