Well... that's too bad for Hartz... because that's not going to float over too well with the other owners, and probably including yourself.

And he was the most stubborn dog ive ever seen. But over time he became the most caring animal we ever had. Its already been 4 months since we lost him and it still brings tears to my eyes when I think about him. Thanks for the comments Please tell everyone you know not to use this product.
I have a rescued pit bull. I've had her for about 6 months now and she's turned out to be a better dog than I ever hoped for. So I know what you mean.

WOW, I'm SOOOO sorry for your loss. I love my dogs like a family member and can't imagine the pain you're in.
At the same time, I want to thank you for the warning...upon reading thing I went and found the shampoo I use....HARTZ!
In the trash it goes.
Any idea what ingredient in the shampoo is the one to avoid? I want to make sure the new product I get doesn't do the same thing

I've avoided Hartz since the early 90's when they had blockade or something that was supposed to keep fleas off. The stuff ended up killing like 50% of the animals it was used on..........
That's awesome Wild Bill, glad to hear it. 
My pit rescue is the one on the left in my sig.

Sorry for your loss
Sorry for the loss of one of your family members.
I just got some hartz 4 in 1 for my dog the other day, I guess it's going in the trash. I also Ask my vet (after reading this post) about hartz and he said it is still the same poison from years ago in a better looking package. For now on I'm just going to use the stuff from the vet (Advantix).
Thanks for the good information, you might have helped in saving my dogs life!!!
