Tell pesky parasites to ‘bug off’ with the Hartz UltraGuard Flea & Tick Treatment for Cats and Kittens. Each convenient and easy to apply, single dose tube kills fleas and deer ticks. Also repels mosquitos. Use only on cats and kittens 12 weeks and older weighing 5 pounds and over. Package contains three treatments —a three-month supply.
Directions: Remove one applicator tube from package and hold in an upright position away from your face. Pull off cap. Turn the cap around and place on top of tube. Simply press cap down to break the seal of the tube and remove cap carefully. Position the tip of the tube at the base of the pet's back between the shoulder blades and squeeze out the entire contents of the tube to form a stripe as you move from the shoulder blades along the back to the base of the tail. The treated area may appear oily after application. Repeat every month. Consult a veterinarian before using this product on debilitated, aged or medicated pets. If signs of sensitivity occur, bathe your pet with mild soap and rinse with large amount of water. If signs continue, consult a veterinarian immediately.

If you live in the US South, I don't believe this will be strong enough. From what I read, enough fleas can become immune to Etofenprox, the active ingredient in this product, whereas a combination of Imidacloprid and Pyriproxyfen are much more effective because they use unique biological attacks on fleas and the growth cycles. Others include Selamectin (Revolution) or Fluralaner (Bravecto).Feature Etofenprox Imidacloprid + Pyriproxyfen Selamectin FluralanerKills Adult Fleas ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ YesKills Flea Eggs & Larvae ❌ No ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ❌ No (but prevents reinfestation)Tick Protection ❌ No ❌ No ⚠️ Limited ✅ StrongMite Protection ❌ No ❌ No ✅ Yes (ear mites, sarcoptic mange) ❌ NoWorm Protection ❌ No ❌ No ✅ Yes (roundworms, hookworms) ❌ NoHeartworm Protection ❌ No ❌ No ✅ Yes ❌ NoDuration ~1 month ~1 month ~1 month ~12 weeksBest For Basic flea control, but resistance issues Stronger flea control, prevents reinfestation Broad parasite control, including worms & mites Long-lasting flea & tick control

if i could give this 0 stars i would. absolutely terrible and burned my poor cat so bad, he was panting and dry heaving and in pain. this did nothing but make my cat cry in pain and act in a way i have never experienced him act in my entire 8 years of having him. this is a waste of money. do not buy this if you care about your animals. this will do nothing for the fleas. all it will do is hurt your cats. there is lawsuits already against the company hartz for how pets wither die or become extremely ill after using thwir products. they shouldnt even be being sold. do not buy this and please read all the reviews, and just because your cat is okay the first time, many people have had issues down the line with them getting sick or in immense pain. again, my cat had never acted the way he did before when i gave him this treatment. PLEASE DONT BUY THIS. DO NOT BUY IT!!!!!!

Cats still have fleas. The products smells really strong and the cats did not like it, other brands do not seem to bother them when applied, this one did, for both cats.I brush them daily with a flea comb and I still find fleas.Avoid.

I hate the smell. It works really good tho. I wish I knew if it hurts every time I put it in my car. He jumps every time I put it on his neck. Sometimes, not everytime, it leaves a bald spot where I applied it, that’s another reason why I think it might not feel good going on. Bcuz my low income budget cannot afford the $35/month flea n tick killer, this one has to do, and it has done great no fleas or ticks ever. My vet did not recommend to use Hartz bc it supposedly causes nerve damage and bad long term side effects to the cats neuro system. She was pushing to use Revolution Flea and Tick at $35/month but I cannot possibly afford that much money. I didn’t even plan on having my sweet kitty bc I’m so allergic to them, but I rescued him at 2 weeks old abandoned on the side of the road and he chose me and I fell in love. So I do what I can the best i can. This product works and keeps us all happy.

This product is too aggressive. The day after use my cat developed a severe skin rash on the application area as if the skin had been burnt. The cat had to go thru cortisone treatment to help clearing the rash.After the rash cleared the cat was left with thickened skin where the product was applied.

Some cats definitely don't react well to etofenprox, and you want to make absolutely sure the cat can't reach the application site with their tongue.There's one reason to buy this product over competitors: it's cheap. It does kill adult fleas, but not eggs, and not as well as essentially any other common flea spot medication. It seems more irritating to the skin. It is of a chemical class, pyrethroids, in which most other chemicals are extremely acutely toxic to cats. Hartz argues the differences (no cyclopropane, α-cyano, or halo-functional groups) decrease toxicity to mammals. I'm not sure whether it's still metabolized by glucuronidation, but regardless, it is less effective and less well-tolerated than competitors. That is why market forces have rendered it cheap; it wouldn't sell if it were priced similar to other chemicals.If you:(1) Have lots of cats, and/or(2) have cat(s) you know have tolerated it well in the past, and(3) need to save money, and(4) trust yourself to apply it where you cat(s) can't reach it, and they aren't unusually flexible cats,then this may be the product for you.What I have done, having a large number of cats, is apply it to one at a time, and observe them. Sometimes, I have had to wash it off because of hyperactivity, yowling, hiding, and other similar fear and stress responses. If a cat has this reaction, I wash it quickly and thoroughly with gentle soap and warm water until the greasy spot is no longer visible and the smell has dissipated. And I cross that cat off the list for etofenprox, and they get the more deluxe stuff from then on.If I had fewer cats or more money, I would not use this product. But fleas can cause serious complications, and in my experience, cautious, limited use of this product can be safe and effective. It does, by the way, smell absolutely terrible, like an ochem lab where someone knocked over a chemical shelf. It's not like other solvents that, in light doses, are pleasant to some people, like the light smell of gasoline reminding of old big-block carbureted engines. It's piercing, and terrible. That's another reason not to use it, but you're not considering this product because you think it might be the best, so just keep the balancing factors in mind.

This product is so horrible it burned my cat’s skin and left a bald spot. This is my biggest regret. My cat was suffering from burned skin for 2 weeks. Pls do not use this product. This should be banned from any platform.
