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 use this if my cat is on medication?
Always consult with a veterinarian before applying flea and tick treatment to a sick or debilitated cat.
Does Hartz UltraGuard® have an expiration date?
An expiration date is not required on Hartz UltraGuard® products. However, Hartz has established a shelf life for all UltraGuard® products to ensure a quality product.
Can I use flea and tick products for cats on my dog?
NO, flea & tick products labeled for cats must only be used on cats. Likewise, flea and tick products labeled for dogs should not be used on cats. This ensures safe and effective flea & tick treatment since products are specifically formulated for cats or dogs .
Are Hartz UltraGuard® products registered?
Yes, all Hartz UltraGuard® products are registered with the EPA and the states, data has been provided for both efficacy and safety as required.
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 Hartz UltraGuard® kill fleas and ticks?
Hartz UltraGuard® contains EPA registered insecticides that have been proven to control fleas and ticks. These insecticides have been specifically formulated to provide protection across the entire body of the pet for the duration indicated for each product.
Example: Protection is one month for topicals and seven months for collars.
