Newark, NJ: Cat and dog owners have filed a series of lawsuits against the makers of anti- flea and tick medications alleging that their pets were made ill by the products.
Five New Jersey Companies are named as separate defendants in the lawsuits, specifically Secaucus-based Hartz Mountain Corp., Summit VetPharm LLC of Rutherford, Morristown-based Bayer Healthcare LLC, Merck & Co. Inc. of Whitehouse Station and Sanofi-Aventis Inc. of Bridgewater.
The most recent lawsuit filed last week by five pet owners against Hartz Mountain and Summit VetPharm, alleges that the flea or tick treatments made by these two companies contained Pyrethrin, or a synthetic version of the chemical Pyrethroids, which are “known to poison animals.”
The products named include Hartz Ultra Guard flea and tick drops and Summit VetPharm’s Vectra 3d. The companies are accused of negligence, violating New Jersey’s consumer fraud law and liability for creating an “unreasonably dangerous product.”

We’ve all heard a lot about chocolate and anti-freeze being a killer to pets. But here’s a look at some little known toxins that can be killers to your 4-legged family members.
Avocados, macadamia nuts, the sweetener xylitol which is found in a lot of gum and candy, onions, garlic and chives are a few.
Plants that will be coming into bloom this spring that are also dangerous to pets include: tulip and narcissus bulbs like daffodils, amaryllis, azaleas, lilies.
Other items that are on top of the list are grapes and raisins for dogs.
And the cost to treat a pet who has consumed a toxic substance does not come cheap. Treatment for animals can total over $1,000. Now we just scratched the surface on household toxins to pets.
If you go to the ASPCA, The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, they have important information and contact numbers for pet poison control centers.
An important phone number every pet owner should have near by.
