Directions for Use
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
REMOVE COLLAR FROM PACKAGE, UNROLL AND STRETCH TO ACTIVATE INSECTICIDE GENERATOR.
As the collar begins to work, a fine white powder will appear on the surface.Do not use on puppies under 12 weeks of age. Do not unroll collar until ready to use. Place the collar around the dog’s neck, adjust for proper fit, and buckle in place. The collar must be worn loosely to allow for growth of the dog 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 dog’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 animals. If used on pregnant or nursing dogs, do not replace collar until the puppies 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 dog. 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 dogs 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.
This collar is intended for use only as an insecticide generator.
The collar will begin to kill fleas and ticks immediately. For continuous flea and tick protection under normal conditions replace the collar every seven months. The collar kills ticks for 5 months and aids in their control an additional 2 months. Under conditions where dogs are exposed to severe flea and tick infestations it may be necessary to replace the collar more frequently; however, do not replace the collar more frequently than every 5 months. Wetting will not impair the collar’s effectiveness or the pet’s protection. If the dog 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. It is recommended that the pet’s bedding or sleeping quarters be treated for flea and tick control with a product registered for this use such as Hartz® UltraGuard PLUS® Flea & Tick Home Spray.

Can I use Hartz UltraGuard® if I have already applied another flea and tick control product?
Always read the label directions, typically only one flea and tick product should be used on your pet at a time. Using multiple flea and tick products at the same time may result in interaction which could cause illness or irritation. Consult a veterinarian about the use of heartworm medication.
Can I use this if my pet is on medication?
Always consult with a veterinarian before applying flea and tick treatment to a sick or debilitated cat.
What is the difference between a topical and collar product?
A topical is a monthly dose of liquid flea & tick product applied to the back of the pet’s neck, while the Hartz collar is a solid plastic band that is fastened around the pet’s neck and provides up to seven months protection against fleas & ticks. Both products require registration by the US EPA. Product registration includes a full toxicology and efficacy profile which is reviewed prior to approval by the authorities and determines the labeling.
Should I use Hartz UltraGuard® on my pet all year round? Or just during flea and tick season?
The Companion Animal Safety Council recommends that pets should be treated year round with a flea and tick product. Fleas and ticks may be dormant during freezing winter months but can still be active on days above freezing temperatures. These parasites utilize leaf litter and even snow to provide insulation in the extreme cold.

Can I stop using flea control once the fleas are gone?
This is not recommended. Once an infestation is under control it is important to continue using a flea and tick control product to prevent re-infestations in the future. Although adult fleas are not seen on the animal, the sub-adult stages (eggs, larvae, pupae) may be developing within the house (carpet, upholstery). To ensure full protection against all life stages of fleas, Hartz recommends treating all affected areas of your pet’s surroundings.
How does my dog get ticks?
