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.

About Hartz UltraGuard Topicals for Cats

Why Choose a Flea & Tick Topical?

Hartz UltraGuard topicals provide monthly non-stop flea and tick protection. Just apply directly to your cat’s skin—it’s fast-acting and helps prevent reinfestation for up to 30 days!

How Hartz Flea & Tick Topicals Work

Hartz UltraGuard topical formulations utilize your cat’s natural oil composition to spread their active ingredients across the skin. When applied, the monthly formula moves across the skin and hair naturally for full body protection.

How to Apply Hartz Flea & Tick Topicals

Step 1: Open the package and remove one tube.

Step 2: Break the seal by twisting the dispenser tip while pushing down.

Step 3: Position the dispensing tip on the cat’s back between the shoulder blades.

Step 4: Apply the topical directly to the skin, from the shoulder blades to the base of the tail.

Monthly Flea & Tick Protection

Pest Protection

Hartz UltraGuard cat topicals kill and prevent fleas and ticks for up to 30 days, offering full-body protection.

Fast-Acting

Once applied, UltraGuard topicals start killing fleas in as little as 15 minutes.

Waterproof

UltraGuard offers full waterproof protection for 48 hours after application, so it keeps working even if your cat gets wet.

Pro-Glide Applicator

Hartz UltraGuard PRO Topical has a specially angled applicator for easy, mess-free application.

Doesn't work

I have 35 cats and this did not work on any of them. A few of them lost hair while others drooled. Still have fleas. Very disappointed. I guess the saying you get

Name brand at reasonable expense.

If it does the job as other topical type flea and tick preventer (which I think are grossly overpriced), then I'm all for it. So far, just one application given

If it does the job as other topical type flea and tick preventer (which I think are grossly overpriced), then I'm all for it. So far, just one application given. Other than our cat hates vet visits and receiving preventative treatments, he is an indoor pet - adopted from a rescue facility over 8 years ago. Really don't know his prior history, but it likely was not kind and that had a bearing on his personality. He is scared of strangers and even to the two of us in the house, does not care to be picked up. An independent animal that only shows some affection at night when the adults have gone to bed.

Side effects not worth it

My cat is having all of the negative reactions skin irritation, palpitations, and general misery. Monitoring to see if I have to take him to the vet after washing
