Hartz UltraGuard Plus Reflective Flea & Tick Collar for Cats and Kittens, 7 Months Protection

Will need to wait to know for sure if this will meet expectations. Collar hi-viz band is great. Don't know for sure if the clasp will hold. Other flea collars kept disappearing, so time will tell with this one! Same with effectiveness for ticks! Great price, though!

When I got the collar I immediatly put it on my cat to help him with the itching from fleas. The darn collar broke on me as I was putting it on, because it's a break away collar. So I got it on my cats neck and taped the collar together, and he is still scratching and itching. So I'm going to get him a topical flea medication. This collar is about a good as a rock.

Please don't waste your money and make the same mistakes I did as I have 2 cats. If anything, the problem was worse after I put the collars on.

This flea collar was well worth the money, great because it has a reflector on the collar I like that it lasts for 6 months!

Would have given it a 5-Star; but , I haven't tried this for cat yet. Reviewed for my dogs: "This Hartz Ultra Guard Pro Collar (with the reflective silver strip on it) is the Best flea retardant that I've used for several years! In fact, I had such good luck for our dogs that I got one for the cat. Wish me luck, please." I'm trusting Hartz that I'll be as successful for my cat! Will let ya'll know if have any cat problems.

This is the first time my two cats have had fleas in the three years we have had them. Went to Walmart, got some flea shampoo, flea comb and two of these collars. Shampooed the cats and waited until they were dry to put on their collars. I noticed fleas back on the cats days later. I figured it'd take a few days to work. Wrong. One cat began losing fur where the collar was. This has never happened before to her with her normal collars in the past. Then I noticed the other cat developed scabs around her neck where the collar was. I took the collars off both of them. Now to find a treatment that works.

I love the break-a-way feature.

Used in conjunction with fipronil drops the collar is a good adjunct. It adds the extra oomph and the reflecting collar really shines out at night for cats who like to spend time outdoors at night as mine do.

Liked the reflective strip for my outdoor cat. Breakaway feature sounded nice also. Didn't like that my cat was scratching and lost the collar in less than a day. My other cat hasn't lost her's yet.

I've tried several flea collars and like this one best. We've inherited a cat that is used to going out. He is outdoors 3 times a day, for about 2 hours at a time. Summer even more. When he did not wear a collar, he would get ticks. Once he adopted us, I put a flea collar on him. Some brands, he tended to loose. This one stays on him securely. He NEVER comes home with fleas or ticks. I believe this helps repel them, unlike the drops that go on the neck, that only kills not repels. I don't want the cat coming in with ticks to the house. As soon as he comes in, we remove the collar and hang it on the door know so e is more comfortable. I also like the reflective part since he does go out at night. It really reflects well. I change it every 4-5 months.
