Hartz UltraGuard Flea & Tick Collar for Cats, 1 count
Tell uninvited to guests to “bug off” with the Hartz UltraGuard Flea & Tick Collar for Cats. A convenient alternative to topical flea applications, this collar starts working fast to kill and repel fleas and ticks. It also prevents flea eggs from hatching, which stops the flea cycle by preventing re-infestation. And as an added bonus, the breakaway design easily comes off in the event your cat gets caught on something, so you never have to worry about him choking or getting trapped. The best part? It works for seven long months, even if it gets wet, so you can go worry-free for more than half a year.
Key Benefits- Water-resistant flea and tick collar is an easy alternative to traditional topical flea treatments.
- Works for an impressive 7 months to effectively kill and repel fleas and ticks.
- Also prevents flea eggs from hatching to stop the flea life cycle and prevent re-infestation.
- Breakaway design will come apart if your cat gets caught on something.
- Adjustable design can be cut to fit your cat’s neck, and it features a clean, fresh scent.

How it works
The collar will begin to kill fleas, ticks and flea eggs and larvae immediately. Its full protection against harder to kill ticks will be built up within a few days after being placed on the pet. For continuous flea and tick protection under normal conditions replace the collar every seven months. Under conditions where pets are exposed to severe flea and tick infestations, it may be necessary to replace the collar more frequently. Wetting will not impair the collar's effectiveness or the pet's protection. If the pet goes swimming or is out in the rain it is not necessary to remove the collar. The collar may be worn with a regular collar.

After using various Harts products I thought maybe if I paid more for a collar it would work. Well I put it on my cat and waited to see if it will work for her. Well it's been 2 weeks and after checking her I found she still itches and she has bites marks all up her back! She has never had bites that far up her back. Also, I had never had problems with fleas being in any apartment I lived in. Now a friend of mine was sitting on a chair and a flea jumped on him. I won't be recommending any Hartz products at all. It's just a waste of money.

My cats still have fleas, thought it would work better than it does. My cats still scratch a lot. The collars I got before worked great, but the smell was too strong for me as the cats sleep in bed with me.

This collar is easy to put on our kitty and easy to adjust. She pays no attention to it. She is small and it adjusts well. She's an indoor/outdoor kitty and this works great. I would recommend to anyone.

This flea collar worked very well for both of my cats. I have never had a flea problem with my cats in AZ (I guess it is too hot for them, lol) but this year was different. My poor furbabies had fleas on their ears constantly and the all-natural spray I bought just wasn't working. After putting these collars on my two boys, the fleas were gone and the ear scratching went away almost immediately.

I ordered one for each of my two cats. The first one I opened immediately broke as I took the staple out of it it and unraveled it. I have no idea why they come inverted and stapled together and don't understand why that would be helpful when trying to put on a cat and have it stay there. Well it's especially impossible when the "breakaway" collar breaks right off right out of the package. The one that wasn't broken was quite difficult to adjust when I put it on the cat who was sleeping... So much so that she woke up and wiggled out of my clutches and the collar. I have used collars on them before - the Seresto collar does actually work and didn't make my cats squint and run away when I opened I ordered one for each of my two cats.

I am guessing whatever is on these is fairly toxic to everyone. Can't imagine I can get my money back so I'm leaving them out near the bed in hopes that the toxic chemicals will at least ward off any fleas that might be in the vicinity … more

I have 10 cats, so I bought 10 collars. Every day I comb them and each one still has fleas. Not recommending these for any cat owner. VERY disappointed!!

I'm not so sure it's actually working. My cat Forrest doesn't have a ton of fleas but he has some, but he is also an outdoor cat... So I'm just not sure.

The flea collars I received were inside out and the clasp on two broke off immediately after I took them from the boxes! Not happy with this purchase.:(
