Why Choose a Flea & Tick Collar?Collars are a convenient, mess-free form of flea & tick protection. Collars are easy to put on and readjust if necessary. They can also be worn simultaneously with your cat's other collar for up to 7 months. |
How Does a Flea & Tick Collar Work?Collars contain active ingredients that are stored in the collar and are slowly released over your cat's full body. The active ingredients kill and repel fleas and ticks, but can also prevent flea eggs from hatching. |

Product Description
Tell pesky parasites to ‘bug off’ with the Hartz UltraGuard Plus Flea & Tick Collar for Cats and Kittens. This collar kills and repels both fleas and ticks for 7 months and also prevents flea eggs from hatching for over half the year - stopping the flea life cycle and inhibiting reinfestation. The water resistant design remains effective even after getting caught in the rain. Also features a breakaway safety release. For continuous flea and tick protection from head to tail, replace the collar every 7 months. For use on kittens 12 weeks of age and older. Directions: Remove collar from package, unroll and stretch to activate insecticide generator. Do not use on kittens under 12 weeks of age. Do not unroll collar until ready to use. Place the collar around the cat’s neck, adjust for proper fit and buckle in place. The collar must be worn loosely to allow for growth of the cat and to permit the collar to move about the neck. Generally, a properly fitted collar is one that, when fastened, will snugly slide over the cat’s head. Leave 2 or 3 inches on the collar for extra adjustment and cut off and dispose of the extra length. Consult a veterinarian before using this product on debilitated, aged or medicated pets. Sensitivity may occur after using any pesticide product for pets. Some animals may become irritated by the collar if it is applied too tightly. If this occurs, loosen the collar. If irritation continues, remove the collar and bathe your cat with mild soap and rinse with large amount of water. If signs continue, consult a veterinarian immediately. Do not use this product on cats simultaneously or within 30 days before or after treatment of other flea and tick products. However, flea and tick collars may be replaced immediately.

No fleas!
So, i feel compelled to update this review. I noticed that my cat started sleeping all of the time and never cuddled with me anymore, then one time i heard her wheeze, which she never has before. Then i saw her with her head dangling off of the table looking actually scarily either dead or unconscious. She actually was just sleeping so deeply that she was completely limp and slow to wake. It scared me, so i did some research and found out that flea collars should not be put on kittens, unhealthy or elderly animals. There are heavy doses of poison being constantly absorbed into your babies skin while wearing them, and even a few weeks after if not bathed thoroughly. My cat is 13, and so i decided to remove the collar and bathe her thoroughly. She returned to her normal self. Within a couple of days she was her semi energetic lovey self. Lol. So i would just caution you to examine the cost to benefit ratio and your pets age and health.
I have 3 indoor-outdoor cats.
My perfectly healthy 6 year old indoor cat is now in dier condition. After wearing the collar for 2-3 weeks I noticed she was acting strangely, being more lethargic and throwing up a couple times. I took the collar off just to make her feel more comfortable but didn't think much about it. 2 more weeks went by and I noticed her appetite dropped drastically to the point that she wouldn't eat at all and she was laying around for hours without moving which is unusual for her. We assumed it was a toothache and bought her wet food since it was Christmas and we couldn't get her a vet appointment. Last night she was cuddling with us and we noticed a lesion on her neck where the collar was which caused me to come back and read more about this collar. I was so mortified to find out that the symptoms she has are identical to many other cats who haven't survived after being poisoned to death by this product. I immediately bathed her with dawn soap to get any residue out of her coat and we're going to the vet today. While washing her I found a second lesion on her neck in the same place that's even bigger. THIS PRODUCT CHEMICALLY BURNED MY CATS SKIN!
How does Amazons rating system work when 45% of the reviewers give it only 1 star yet it has an overall 4 star rating? I cannot get over how terrible I feel for subjecting her to this and if she doesn't make it I don't know how I'll forgive myself. Please do not risk buying this, I'd rather her be covered in fleas than have an ounce of this poison near her.
