Hartz UltraGuard ProMax Flea & Tick Collar for Dogs I 12 Months Protection I Soft & Comfortable Flea & Tick Prevention I 2 Pack,Gray

6 months later, I found 2 ticks on a rear paw of our big dog. We live in the Philippines in a neighbohood with lots of dogs wandering around, so we are glad to have been tick free for 6 months. We were not able to find tick collars here.

Had a China knock off and the collar slipped out of adjustment and fell off. Hartz stayed in place much better - not perfect on these 130# dogs. Plenty long to go around his fat neck. Never notice insects on these outside dogs either. Including a Lab/Shepherd mix with a thick coat. I'm already buying for this year.

Used these collars for the past few years with no issues. Last collars we purchased DID NOT WORK and we now have a terrible flea infestation!! Going back to Soresto.

My dog has been wearing the Hartz UltraGuard ProMax Flea and Tick collar for about two weeks now, and while ticks aren't much of an issue in my yard, I have not noticed a single flea on her during that time. I love that this collar is easy to use/apply, and can be adjusted to fit by cutting off the excess for smaller dogs. It offers protection against fleas and ticks for six months, and is water resistant. Two collars come in a package, so easily the best value for the money and 12 months of protection for one pet. The reason I gave 4 stars overall is because the collar does have a slight pesticide smell, not overwhelming or unpleasant and my dog didn't seem to be affected by it, but definitely noticeable and may be off-putting for a sensitive nose.

I like to regularly bathe my dogs once a month, and I remove the flea collars when I do this. However, these collars are extremely difficult to get off and on in my opinion. I suffer from carpal tunnel in my right arm and I’m right handed which makes it more difficult. I have a little dog with a heart condition and I feel like this really stresses her out when I struggle to take it off and back on. They seem to work okay as far as keeping the fleas away and I’ve not seen any ticks on any of my dogs which is good. It’s just the level of difficulty getting them off and on without feeling like I’m hurting and stressing out my dogs. Because of this I’m rating it a 3 stars. I feel that not only should a flea collar protect against fleas and ticks but should be easy to get off and on and not a huge issue. There’s a lot of good flea collars out there that I’ve used in the past that work great and are simple to get off and on and comfortable for the dog. I definitely would not recommend these to anyone with any type of arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome. I myself will not be purchasing these again.

Effective… Dog’s coat is easy to monitor for fleas.

Love these tick collars, they fit our three dogs perfect that are various size of dogs. They do not bother the dogs and with living in the country our animals were always getting a lot of ticks but not with these they work amazing!

Seemed to work great all season April the Oct. Dogs are out daily for walks in grassy park areas, primarily mowed grass and also hang out in the lawn. No fleas and no ticks. Hard frost came late and into month 8, after 7 full months of use, we did find two ticks but that was after the 7 months and maybe one of the dogs got into a thicket. Do track your wearing datesWill purchase again. I use these types of collars for past 8 years and they do a great job for my dogs. For regular city or suburban use, they are great.
