How to Apply
Remove collar from protective pouch directly before use. Unroll collar and make sure that there are no remnants from the plastic connectors inside the collar.
1. Insert the end of the collar through the buckle.
2. Adjust the collar around the dog’s neck without tightening it too tight or leaving it too loose. As a guide, it should be possible to insert 2 fingers comfortably between the collar and the neck.
3. Pull excess collar through the loop(s). Collar length of greater than 1 inch (2 cm) beyond the loop(s) should be cut off unless it is on a growing puppy, where some additional length may be needed for adjustment as the dog’s grows.
The collar should be worn continuously for the 6 month protection period. Check periodically and adjust if necessary, especially when puppies are rapidly growing.
Replace the collar after 6 months for optimal tick, flea and mosquitos protection.

Can I use Hartz UltraGuard® if I have already applied another flea and tick control product?

Can I use this if my pet is on medication?

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.

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.
