NiÑo has seisures and the vet always told us it was a mild case of epilepsy! He never had them before we used the product!!!!
Now I am so MAD
my poor baby! To think that a simple shampoo could potentailly shorten his life! I really hope it was not the shampoo, but now I am very scared.

Oh my gosh. ive been using Hartz shampoo ever sine i rescued Kirby.. his previous owner used it too.. i liked the smell and the way it made his coat feel so i didnt bother changing shampoos...

i even have a picture of him posing by the shampoo i use.(and its new) as the old shampoo i used to buy was green.

What perticular shampoo is causing problems?
this is really scary as ive been using Hartz shampoo for as long as ive had Kirby. (4 years now)

his previous owner used the green shampoo(had a picture of a Old English Sheep dog holding a brush in its mouth) and i didnt change shampoos after i got him. but now Hartz came out with this blue stuff and i cant find the green stuff anymore.

this makes his 3rd bath with the blue stuff
