Important Information
Fleas rise to the top of your pet's coat as they die, so consider it a triumph if you start seeing more fleas at first, after treating your pet. If you’re still seeing fleas after application, it may be because your pet has picked up new fleas from the environment, which may include other pets, surfaces and outdoor areas. It may take up to 30 days to break the entire flea life cycle. Additionally, you should also treat sources of new fleas (i.e., carpet, yard, etc.) to ensure complete flea control.

Directions for use
- Do not use on kittens under 12 weeks old.
- Do not unroll collar until ready to use.
Remove the collar from the package, unroll and stretch to activate insecticide generator. As the collar begins to work, a fine white powder will appear on the surface.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. A properly fitted collar is one that, when fastened, will snugly slide over the pet's head. Leave 2 or 3 inches on the collar for extra adjustment cut off and dispose of the extra length. Consult a veterinarian before using this product on debilitated, aged or medicated animals. If used on pregnant or nursing cats, do not replace collar until the kittens are at least 12 weeks old. Sensitivity may occur after using ANY pesticide product for pets. Some animals may become irritated by any collar if it is applied too tightly. If this occurs loosen the collar. If irritation continues, remove the collar from the animal. If signs of sensitivity occur, remove the collar and bathe your pet with mild soap and rinse with large amounts of water. If signs continue, consult a veterinarian immediately. Do not use this product on animals simultaneously or within 30 days before or after treatment with or exposure to cholinesterase inhibiting drugs, pesticides or chemicals. However, flea and tick collars may be immediately replaced.
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.

Nope, Not For Us
By Sam21 on Sep 14, 2021
I recently adopted a 7mo cat from my cousin, and he came from a house full of cats, so I knew fleas were a possibility. I wouldn’t call it an infestation, but definitely a nuisance, so I purchased this collar because it was economical and the majority of reviews were positive. Wrong-o! It’s been a few weeks, there are more adult fleas feeding especially on the head and next area, and I threw the collar away last night after shockingly noticing significant hair loss around the neck under where the collar sat loosely. Never again!

Good For the Money
By iceblade2097 on Aug 19, 2021
The collar went on easy enough and my cats didn't object to it too severely. One thing to note is on the box it it says not to use on "aged" cats would have been nice to get a descriptor of what they consider to be an "aged" cat. Especially since they give a threshold for kittens of 12 weeks of age or younger. The collar has kept my cats flea and tick free as promised. For the price there really isn't too much to complain about. Prior to this I was using generic Dollar General collars. Only other thing that could be asked for is a reflective band to help see your cat at night on the collar itself if possible. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion.

Percy Cat Recommends
By Eliza on Aug 5, 2021
My boy Percy tolerated this collar. He wasn't fond of having it around his neck but I wanted him to be extra protected while I was out on vacation and he was at the kitty sitters. Percy stayed flea and tick free! It makes me feel better knowing that he is well protected since I can't know for sure what the other pet parents are doing for protection against these bugs. Percy did try to squirm out of it at first but did grow accustomed to it. He is now comfortable with the collar and no longer tries to remove it. It's nice that the material isn't a stiff type of plastic and is nice and flexible so it mimics a traditional collar. Percy also enjoys playing in the water bowl (a lot, full dunking My boy Percy tolerated this collar.

Hartz UltraGuard
By stepz89 on Jul 29, 2021
“I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion”. I received the Hartz Ultra Guard Plus flea and tick collar for my cat BAZ.... My cat Baz feels like he just has to go outside with my dog Dakota every time Dakota needs to use the restrooms or else he gets jealous...lol. (Baz is an inside cat with a very fancy litterbox)...And since it has gotten warmer, I've noticed my cat has been bringing a few fleas back in the house. Then I received the Hartz Ultra Guard Plus Flea and Tick collar. I very much appreciate that it is a break-away collar and also that the collar itself comes packaged in a separate airtight pouch.

Since applying the collar I've not seen any fleas at all. Thanks Hartz, keep up the good work!! … more

Hartz Flea and Tick Collar
By YVLACA on Jul 26, 2021
My beautiful Maine Coon Cat is extremely furry and his fur easily attracts unwanted pest. He's so fluffy that I keep him treated year round with flea and tick preventatives. The white collar was soft and pliable and very easy to put on him. The collars we usually get for him are very costly but the Hartz collar is very affordable and definitely does the job. I worry about some chemicals irritating his skin but he's doing great so far. I am very happy with the results of this collar and plan on switching to this brand in the near future. I received this item for free in exchange for a review.

Love it!! It works!!
By Babydollx on Jul 2, 2021
I got to be honest I did not think my cat would keep this on as she is an outdoor cat. I love the fact that it was a breakaway collar and it fit her perfect. It looks like an actual color too and it's fully adjustable and you can even cut off the extra edges so you don't have an extra band hanging off. And the best part is being that my cat is an outdoor cat, she's always in the rain and the water resistance is one of the best perks. I love the design on it, I love everything about it. Even my cat loves everything about it. I noticed a lot less itchiness on her end and unlike other collars she was not trying to take this one off. It's still going strong and I applied it over 30 days ago. I normally I got to be honest I did not think my cat would keep this on as she is an outdoor cat.

I will officially be using this color from here on out on my cats. In fact I already purchased three more for when the kittens are big enough to wear them on their own. Highly recommended 5 out of five stars. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion. … more

My go to collar
By Wendy924 on Jul 29, 2021
I've been using Hartz products for as long as I've had pets. Hartz flea and tick collars are always on my cats however this was the first time using UltraGuard Plus thanks to the Insiders in exchange for my honest opinion and it hasn't let me down. The buckle keeps the collar intact and in place. The collar itself is soft and pliable so I can trust it's not uncomfortable for my cats.We live in the country and our cats go in and out via a pet door ad lib. They hunt a multitude of animals while they are out and about and remain flea and tick free with Hartz

Great for outside adventurers!
By BabiieKakesxOx on Jul 30, 2021
I love this brand and have trusted it with multiple pets. Olive is our Norwegian mountain cat with super long fur! This collar has been able to even keep ticks off of her. What I love most is the collar is hidden under all of her fur and she still looks as gorgeous as ever but is secretly protected! I received the Hartz UltraGuard Flea and Tick Collar for free in exchange for my honest review.

By Vals on Jul 2, 2021
Luna loves her new flea collar! We got the Hartz UltraGuard Plus Flea Tick Collar for Cats. This collar provides protection for 7 months from fleas, ticks, flea eggs and flea larvae and it is water resistant! Luna is a Persian who cannot go one day without going outside, she will still be protected when she is out in the rain or in a bath, which is a feature that I love. It has a break away collar so in case she gets caught in something it won't choke her. It is all white and blends perfectly, she doesn’t mind wearing it at all, this collar design has a soft and flexible texture and it also has a dual buckle system so it stays securely fastened.

Works great!
By Stillsam89 on Jul 15, 2021
My fur baby got out the other day and came home covered in all kinds of bugs. Including FLEAS! I knew I had to act fast because I have carpet and other animals. I put this collar on him and within hours I noticed dead fleas falling off. I was so happy! The collar fit him comfortably, even though he's a bit on the chunky side. As a pet parent, I'm always skeptical of collars. This collar however, is soft and flexible and has a great fastener to keep it secure, but also safe! I'll definitely be buying again! I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion. All opinions are my own.
