HartzUltraGuard Plus Water Resistant 7 Month Protection Breakaway Flea & Tick Collar for Cats (3270094268)

Works exactly as promised so far, i have had my pet in it for a week and a half and she has cut back on her scratching 95 percent, even though our carpet is still pretty infested! I am impressed! 5 dollars for so much relief for my fur baby is above and beyond. I will continue to buy these, thank you Hartz, though i did forget top mention that i bought two of them, one for my house kitty, one for my adopted neighborhood tomcat, and one was broken coming out of the box, the buckle is very flimsy and could definitely be improved! Its worth 10 dollars just for the difference my house kittyexhibits though. 10 dollars to go from miserable to mostly content? So worth it.So, i feel compelled to update this review. I noticed that my cat started sleeping all of the time and never cuddled with me anymore, then one time i heard her wheeze, which she never has before. Then i saw her with her head dangling off of the table looking actually scarily either dead or unconscious. She actually was just sleeping so deeply that she was completely limp and slow to wake. It scared me, so i did some research and found out that flea collars should not be put on kittens, unhealthy or elderly animals. There are heavy doses of poison being constantly absorbed into your babies skin while wearing them, and even a few weeks after if not bathed thoroughly. My cat is 13, and so i decided to remove the collar and bathe her thoroughly. She returned to her normal self. Within a couple of days she was her semi energetic lovey self. Lol. So i would just caution you to examine the cost to benefit ratio and your pets age and health.

Despite some of the unflattering comments I've read I ordered these for both of my cats. A young calico and a 13 yr old tabby. Within a week both of them were mostly rid of fleas and after another week, there were none. I didn't find the colors to be dangerous or cause any problems with skin they just did what was expected. Maybe some of the people who left unfavorable comments meant the fleas were the ones who had a bad ending. They packaging says good for 7 month but I have chosen the put new collars on every 3-4 month as my cats are out in the fenced in back yard flower garden with me of course. But they have not shown any problems with fleas or any other pests.

These are not the strongest or most effective, but they help. The fleas don't die right away, but they don't like being on my cats with these collars. I vacuum and wash their bedding, and my bedding, to control. I can hardly wait for first hard freeze!!

Both of my cats had bad flea problems that was spreading into the house and carpets. I purchased sprays, liquids, powders, and then these collars, but all I needed was the collars. I put them on in Late September/Early October, and its now March, and they still work great. My cats had never had collars on before, and while they didn't really enjoy them being put on, they almost immediately forgot they were there, and are much happier now that they don't have to chew and scratch all the time anymore. Well worth the money, especially if you have cats with long hair and are indoor/outdoor cats. Best part, they can't hang themselves if they get caught on something - the collar has a safety feature that unclasps when enough force is pulled. I tested it myself with my hands and it works great, and easy to put back on the cat if the safety clasp comes undone. The product even smells decent, and less like chemicals. Highly recommend

DO NOT RISK YOUR CATS LIFE WITH THIS! I bought it over a month ago just in case after we found a flea on our dog, I saw the 4 star rating and trusted it was quality product but I should've read the reviews.My perfectly healthy 6 year old indoor cat is now in dier condition. After wearing the collar for 2-3 weeks I noticed she was acting strangely, being more lethargic and throwing up a couple times. I took the collar off just to make her feel more comfortable but didn't think much about it. 2 more weeks went by and I noticed her appetite dropped drastically to the point that she wouldn't eat at all and she was laying around for hours without moving which is unusual for her. We assumed it was a toothache and bought her wet food since it was Christmas and we couldn't get her a vet appointment. Last night she was cuddling with us and we noticed a lesion on her neck where the collar was which caused me to come back and read more about this collar. I was so mortified to find out that the symptoms she has are identical to many other cats who haven't survived after being poisoned to death by this product. I immediately bathed her with dawn soap to get any residue out of her coat and we're going to the vet today. While washing her I found a second lesion on her neck in the same place that's even bigger. THIS PRODUCT CHEMICALLY BURNED MY CATS SKIN!How does Amazons rating system work when 45% of the reviewers give it only 1 star yet it has an overall 4 star rating? I cannot get over how terrible I feel for subjecting her to this and if she doesn't make it I don't know how I'll forgive myself. Please do not risk buying this, I'd rather her be covered in fleas than have an ounce of this poison near her.

I have two kits and they both have flea collars but even after being on for a few weeks they still didn’t get rid of or kill and fleas. I can remember lifting the collar up and seeing them still crawling and thriving like nothing. I ended up getting a topical treatment instead, that worked much better.
