How tightly should a flea collar be fitted on a cat?

A cat flea collar should be fitted snugly against the neck to allow the active matrix to touch the skin and coat, while leaving enough space to comfortably insert two fingers between the collar and the cat's neck. For growing kittens, check and adjust the fit weekly, trimming any excess length past the safety loop.

Can this flea and tick collar be used alongside regular cat baths?

The Hartz UltraGuard collar is water-resistant and designed to maintain effectiveness even after exposure to rain. While occasional water contact is fine, it's best to avoid removing the collar during medicated shampoo baths or excessive lathering to preserve its full 7-month efficacy.

What are the active ingredients and how do they work?

The collar contains Tetrachlorvinphos (14.55%) as the active ingredient. It acts as an insecticide generator, releasing the chemical to kill and repel fleas and ticks, and prevent flea eggs from hatching for up to 7 months.

Are there any side effects or precautions for using this flea collar?

Some animals may experience irritation if the collar is applied too tightly. If irritation occurs, loosen the collar. If it persists, remove the collar and bathe your cat with mild soap and water. Consult a veterinarian if signs continue. Avoid using with other pesticide products simultaneously.

Is this flea collar safe for kittens and older cats?

This collar is suitable for adult cats and kittens 12 weeks of age and older. For debilitated, aged, or medicated pets, consult your veterinarian before use. Always ensure a proper, loose fit to allow for growth and prevent discomfort.

How long does the Hartz UltraGuard collar last?

The Hartz UltraGuard collar provides continuous protection for 7 months. It is designed to kill and repel fleas and ticks, and prevent flea eggs from hatching throughout this period. Replace the collar after 7 months for ongoing defense.

Does this collar have a safety release mechanism?

Yes, the Hartz UltraGuard collar features a breakaway safety release snap. This is designed to release if the collar snags on something, preventing accidental strangulation and ensuring your cat's safety, especially if they go outdoors.
