HartzUltraGuard Purple Flea & Tick Collar for Cats and Kittens - 7 Month Protection

My cat came home without this collar, which had a Samsung Smart Tag 2 attached. I was able to track the collar/tag to a nearby farm. The collar & tag were hanging from an abandoned truck grill. The breakaway feature worked well & probably saved her life. It works well for flea control also.

It’s been just a few days, and my kitten hasn’t had a single flea or tick—remarkable 7‑month coverage without any fuss. It stays comfortably in place, and I love that it’s odor-free and non-greasy.

When you serve a being as powerful and vengeful as Lady Whiskerstein von Murderpaws III, your duty is not to question—only to protect. She is queen of the window perch, destroyer of blinds, and sworn enemy of all who crawl.So when a single flea dared cross the borders of her fur kingdom, I knew war was upon us.I armed her with the Hartz UltraGuard Flea & Tick Collar.This is not just a collar. This is a divine talisman, a shimmering white circle of pest repelling vengeance. The moment I fastened it around her neck (and narrowly avoided losing a finger), she looked into the mirror, blinked slowly, and nodded. The collar had been accepted.Now she struts the house like a battle-hardened warlord—fragrant with mild citrus and justice. No flea survives. No tick dares. And the peasants (us) are finally allowed to pet her again—if she’s feeling generous.Bonus: It's adjustable, durable, and doesn’t interfere with her dramatic lounging poses or 3AM hallway gallops.Bottom line: If your cat is less "pet" and more "ancient god trapped in a meatloaf body," this is the collar for them. Protect your ruler. Repel their enemies. Restore order.Long live the Queen. Pest-free and still terrifying.

This review is for the specific product that I purchased, Hartz UltraGuard Flea & Tick Collar for Cats and Kittens. My complaint is with the product itself and not Amazon. I bought these collars for both of my cats and both of my dogs as a preventative measure. None of them showed signs of fleas or ticks but we have recently moved to a new state where there are stray cats out and about, along with a lot of other insects that were not at our old home and state. Both of my cats are inside cats, trained to be on leashes, walk, sleep and typically stay near us. However, we bought them because I do take my dogs outside and we feared our dogs catching fleas and bringing them into our cats.I purchased them on August 30, 2022 and received them on September 1, 2022. I put them on all of my animals as the package instructed. I left enough room for 1-2 fingers to fit under the collar to ensure they weren't too tight. In the few days after, we noticed that the cats had strong, foul smelling feces. More than usual. One of my cats vomited a few times but we didn't think much of it. Maybe the cats ate something when we didn't see them or something like that. I never thought that the collar would be the culprit (I still don't know if it is but it's a big coincidence). Until today, September 6, 2022. My cats came to lay with me and I noticed one had a large bald spot near his neck. The hair wasn't thin or thinning, it was completely bald. I then moved the collar and saw that it was completely bald under where the collar was. Additionally, parts of it were extremely red and raw while other parts looked dry like skin was flaking off. I checked the other cat and it was the same thing only not as bad. The hair underneath the collar of my other cat was gone as well but the skin didn't look as bad. I immediately removed the collars and wrote Hartz. I received an email very quickly from them which is a plus I guess. I called the number in the email and eventually spoke to a poison control center that they forwarded me to. They in turn said that they share my report and finding not only with the company Hartz, but a report will be generated to the Environmental Protection Agency.My dogs seem ok but I will remove the collars from them too as a precaution. The poison control center gave me a direct number to reach them at 24/7 in case anything else develops or doesn't get better. Unfortunately as stated above, I just moved to a new state with my family, tens of thousands of dollars to attend an internship at a hospital here that is unpaid so, not only do I not have veterinarian here, I currently don't have the funds for that. The lady at the poison control center said that if I had to go the veterinarian, I would have to pay and then contact Hartz and they may be able to help me with the costs. All I can do now is hope that my cats get better. When asked about recovery, the lady at the poison control center said that depending on the cats, it could take weeks, up to years for their hair to grow back if it does at all.This is frustrating because not only did I pay a lot of money for my cats, having them flown in from another country, but because we love them as part of our family. Buyer beware with this product and I hope none of you have this issue. Oh, FYI my cats are pure bread Oriental Shorthair so I don't know if it's a breed specific thing or what. Hope this helps someone.

I've used this collar several times and some cats are fine with it, others lose their hair and get bald where the collar sits. After 1 week, I had to remove this collar from 3 cats.

Ya lo están usando mis tres gatos pelones. Esperemos que perdure y sea beneficioso para su pelaje y efectivo contra las plagas.

Easy, affordable for my cats
