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.
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.
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 my dog get ticks?
Typically, dogs are most susceptible to ticks while outside. Ticks are found in yards, dog parks, hiking trails and anywhere they can quest for a host on blades of grass or vegetation. Ticks can be brought into the home by pets and humans, so it is important to do regular body checks after spending time in a high risk area.
What are the expiration dates?
All Wardley products are formulated with a two year shelf life when stored in a cool dry place.
Where can I find product?
Wardley products are sold across the country in fine retailers that carry pet supplies including Wal-Mart, PetCo and most major grocery store chains.
Where are Hartz¨ shampoos made?
Hartz shampoos and sprays are all made in the USA.
What if my dog drinks some of the bath water during the bath?
If your dog does get a few drinks of the water before you can stop it, this should not likely cause a problem because the bath water will have diluted the shampoo. However, it is possible to have some gastrointestinal upset (vomiting or diarrhea) from the soap in the shampoo usually within 24 to 48 hours of the bath. Contact your veterinarian if the signs persist for longer than 48 hours or if they become worse.
How do you know if a dog is going have an allergic reaction to a topical flea and tick product?
Unfortunately, this is not an easy question to answer. Your dog can have a reaction to the first exposure to a product, to a later application of the product, or never. While reactions to topical drops are rare, they might result in mild skin irritation. It is important to observe your pet for the first 24 hours and contact your veterinarian if you note any abnormal reactions.
I have an elderly dog, is he too old for a topical flea and tick treatments and, if so, what do you recommend I should do now to control his fleas?
Your dog is not too old. In fact, it is important to provide effective flea and tick control for your senior dog’s health and well-being. However, if your dog has been diagnosed with an illness, consult your veterinarian before using any topical flea and tick product.
Should I be concerned about mosquitoes biting my dog?
Yes, mosquitoes are not only a nuisance but they can also carry diseases. Most concerning is their ability to transmit canine heartworms. We recommend the use of Hartz® UltraGuard Pro® or Hartz® UltraGuard Plus™ to kill mosquitoes on contact.
How often can I bathe my dog?
Frequency of bathing is dependent upon the dog’s activity level and coat type. Short haired/ indoor dogs do not require as frequent bathing as long hair/ outside dogs. Dogs with a healthy coat can be bathed every two weeks if necessary.
What can I do to reduce my pet’s shedding?
Depending on the breed and season, some animals shed more than others. With a healthy diet consisting of Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids and daily grooming, pet shedding can be controlled. The best solution is also the simplest: control shedding by increasing the number of baths you give your pet and by brushing your pet on a daily basis. Use a Fur Fetcher® that easily removes 3 times more fur than brushing alone. By brushing daily, you will notice less hair floating around the house, and, less hair will also help in reducing allergens.
If pet’s skin is irritated, can product be used? What would be the best product to use?
If your pet's skin is truly irritated, with swollen or scabbing skin, you should consult with your Veterinarian before using any shampoo, especially flea & tick shampoos. For skin that is mildly irritated, red, dry or itchy, we recommend using Hartz® True Coat® shampoos which are uniquely formulated for your dog's coat type or Groomer's Best® Oatmeal shampoo which contain oatmeal extracts to help soothe dry, irritated itchy skin.
My pet licked the product, is it harmful?
Hartz shampoos have been carefully tested and formulated with very low toxicity to pets and humans; but as with any ingestion of shampoo, it may cause some degree of gastrointestinal upset.
Does the product contain soap/detergent? How does it affect my dog’s skin and coat?
Hartz shampoos have been formulated with overall mildness in mind yet contain necessary detergents to aid in the removal of excess dead skin, dirt and oils. Our gentle pH balanced moisturizing shampoos will not strip your dog’s skin and coat of essential oils.
Can I use the Hartz shampoos on a pregnant animal?
Yes. All Hartz grooming shampoos are gentle enough for use on pregnant animals. However, a veterinarian should be consulted prior to use of any flea & tick shampoo.
At what age can I bathe my pet?
Puppies can be bathed as early as two weeks old if needed. Getting puppies accustomed to bathing does help avoid struggles later on. Keep in mind, puppies chill easily and should be dried gently and thoroughly after bathing.
