 Not only useless, it harmed our cats Nov 09, 2010
By M. Peacock
If I could give this zero stars, I would. We have 2 indoor cats and clearly bring fleas in on ourselves from the yard. I thought I was being smart by spending less for this product. Never again will I buy a cheaper product. Not only did these drops not work at all, both cats developed scary side effects, including strange shaking (mini seizures?), drooling, unusual meowing, vomiting and a week-long loss of appetite. After seeing this I read some of the reviews on this product and similar inexpensive drops and can see that it pays to spend more on a more trustworthy product. I hate having to put pesticides on our cats but it is pretty clear to me that the companies that make the more expensive brands really do put their time and money into making sure their products are (what I would call reasonably) safe.

rating: 00000000 Mar 31, 2011
By Alex Mogell
My indoor cat, Snowy got a few fleas on her recently, so I went to Petsmart and bought this product. Not good. About an hour after I put it in the back of her neck, she clearly was not feeling well. Her eyes were squinting and she developed this awful twitching, and drooling. She then defecated on our bedroom floor, which she has never ever ever done outside of her box in her whole 8 yrs of life.
I immediatly bathed her with Dawn as another person suggested that they did when this happened to their cat, and we just got out of the tub. She is now cleaning herself after her bath and I hope to God she is going to be fine. I have the emergency Vets number handy just in case.
I plan to go to Petsmart tomorrow and return this product and give them a big piece of my mind.
DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT ON YOUR CAT!!!!

 Works Great For My two Cats Jun 11, 2010
By James Farrar, Jr.
I have been using this product for several months on both my cats and it has, by far, been the most effective in repelling fleas compared to anythibg else I have tried. I had to shave off a quarter sized patch of hair on the back of there necks to apply it,(she just LOVED that) but I have a long haired cat and that may not be necessary for every cat. You cannot let your cat try to lick it off of themselves because it may make them sick, thats why it is applied on back of neck, so be careful when using and be sure to read the directions. Very Easy to use.
I was a little desturbed by the review claiming that this product will kill your pet. All I can say about that is I have been using this exact same product, on and off for a couple of years and I have encounterd no problems whatsoever regarding cat's health. It doe make me a little weiry but it's the only thing that I have found that works very well in repelling fleas. Plus, the stuff smells really good too, kinda like a nice women's fragrance. This stuff does work.

overpriced plastic needle that may poison your pet Jul 03, 2011
By Dalcazar
Talk about getting ripped off: Around half of the regular retail price you pay for this garbage goes towards buying a plastic needle, there is no compositional difference between the Hartz Ultraguard PLUS and Hartz ultraguard PRO, you are being taken for the proverbial ride. And if that wasn't enough to steer you away, then read on.
I bought some and put it on my cat once, apparently I'm lucky she only ended up with a grease spot on her back that lasted a week and made me want to touch her even less when added to the still-rampant flea infestation. My girlfriend used it on her two cats as well, one was fine but it almost killed the other.
I'm pretty sure that when Frontline and Advantage came out, the people at Hartz realized that their entire stock of flea collars was now useless (as if they ever worked to start with), so they decided to take all their inventory and put it in a blender, then put it into these little plastic squeezers. I hope so because if they purposely formulated this product they ought to be incarcerated.
Most useless products try to sell themselves with gimmicky names like: Hartz ULTRAguard. Now let's put the facts straight: Hartz made their bottom of the line 3-pack flea that cost $6. Then they made their Hartz ULTRAguard PLUS which they'll sell to you for $8, and then you can go out and buy this product: Hartz ULTRAguard PRO, with it's "PRO-cision Flo" applicator for around $13.
Why would you want to control the flow, (oh sorry, it's FLO apparently) when you're putting it all in one spot anyway and using the whole thing? These people have no shame.
Does it work? NO
Is it worth the money? NO
Will I be better off setting my money on fire? YES.

DESERVES 0 STARS!!!! Sep 20, 2011
By CandyShoppeArtwork
I bought this to PROTECT my 3 cats against fleas. But after seeing them experience symptoms including a back leg twitch, fur loss, and lethargy, fleas seem to be a better option! Thankfully I was still within the 24hr window where you're not supposed to bathe them and managed to wash it all off and they're all feeling much better now. They thankfully never lost their appetites or had any life threatening symptoms, but this was scary enough for me to take action. Anyone who is reading this, please wash this horrible product off your pets using a mild dish soap as soon as possible after application! On top of the horrid symptoms, the stuff is makes their fur look greasy and dirty and it does not dry!
On top of that, on the back of the box Hartz tries to justify themselves by stating that "sensitivities may occur with ANY pesticide treatment" Does that make you feel better about yourselves? You should all be arrested for animal cruelty. The Hartz people are disgusting and I wonder how they sleep at night knowing that they're poisoning animals! I will be contacting the store where I bought this product, the EPA, FDA, and HSUS about this. I hope enough of us can ban together to get this company put out of business!
