New Dog Flea Collar For Sale (2024 Update)

I received the collar and opened it to put on my cat. I immediately noticed the pleasant smell of the collar and how soft and flexible the collar was. It went on with ease and was simple to put on. The purple color was a nice contrast as well. The cat is leaving it alone and when I pick her up that light scent was very nice and not over powering. I highly recommend the color for comfort, style and I really like that the effectiveness is for 7 months. Before using the collar I had a situation were my other pet who is a dog woke up one morning and couldn't walk and was in pain. As it turned out he had contracted lymes disease from a tick. He is doing better but was on medication for a month and a very expensive hospital visit for him. My decision was to get collars that I can trust and be confident in. That is why Hartz was the choice for me. It lasts 7 months and I don't have to worry about any of my animals for the season. With it being so easy to put on and having it last long is a bonus. They all smell wonderful and you can be at ease knowing they are protected. I love Hartz Ultra Guard for my cats and my dogs! I have received the Hartz ultra guard collar in exchange for my honest opinion. After using it on my cats for awhile I did buy additional ones for my dogs as well. So I have a total of 5 animals protected with Hartz Ultra Guard! THank you Hartz!justnan

I received a Hartz® UltraGuard® Flea & Tick Collar for Dogs – White in exchange for a review. I loved the fact that there is enough length in the collar that it would fit multiple size dogs. I put this on my 62 pound Pittie the very first day I received it. I did have a little trouble getting the end through the buckles but luckily, my dog is very patient. I haven’t noticed any adverse effects on his skin nor scratching where the collar is. I do have some very tall grass that he likes to run and play in on a regular basis and I typically use some sort of OTC drops from the store. I have not found a single flea or tick on him since I started using the collar and definitely recommend anyone giving it a try before spending a fortune at their local veterinarian.SexyCougar

My dogs go to the groomer for their baths every 6 weeks and I was shocked when they told me my german shepherd had a few fleas on him and the groomer informed me that fleas were bad this year because my dogs have never had fleas., so in a rush, I ordered these flea collars and they seem to work but I also use a spray bottle with 1 cup of apple cider vinegar mixed with 2 cups of water and spray it on my hands then rub my dogs down before they go outside in the mornings first of day then I spray their beds a spritz of it and voila!!!! no more fleas!!!!!! I also used the Hartz flea and tick drops which also works along with everything else. I like a clean house and just can't deal with fleas !!! Now we are back to a normal household without the company of fleas !!!!Pamela

I have an approximately 12 pound maltipoo. He is very active and likes to roll outside. We had always used Soresto flea collars (approx. $50 for 6 months) and had bought 2 in a row that stopped working after about a week. I decided to try this collar for a lesser value and am SO pleased with the results!! Within minutes of putting it on my Bailey, 7 or 8 fleas rose to the surface of his fur like they were trying to escape (haha) and I have not seen any since then. It has been a while now and I still haven’t seen any. It says water resistant but I decided not to test it so I took it off for a bath and it was easy to take off and put back on. I will definitely be buying more of these in the future for all of my pets!sara615

I purchased one of these for each of my dogs. After about a month with the collars on, my dogs were covered with ticks. I pulled 23 ticks off of them. They weren't just small ticks, but ones that had been on for many days. I returned them and purchased flea and tick meds.lkp100

The Zodiac Flea & Tick Collar is the perfect all-purpose collar for my working “horse dog”. Since he patrols our farm and lives with the horses 24/7, we don’t leave a regular collar on him – too dangerous should it hang up on a fence, and too expensive if we use the quick-release type bra cause of the frequent need to replace it. The Zodiac collar is a great solution – he generally manages to keep it on until replacement time, and should he snag it, it slips off easily. It’s economical to replace, and does a good job of controlling fleas & ticks. Highly recommended!donmbrink

DO NOT PUT THIS ON YOUR DOGS. Bought 3 for my babies when we moved to an area we were told had problems. They were only on for less than 18 hours when I noticed my babies scratching and whining. When I checked them, my chiweenie and my male shih tzu had raw and bleeding burns where the collar rested!!! My female had reddened areas also. I'm so angry!!😡😡 And these were supposed to stay on for 6 months😡!!! Threw them away immediately and will never try again!!Linda Kershner

Didn't seem to make a difference in fleas and has a very strong smell that gave me a headache. Made my puppy itchy in the neck as well.AV91

For YEARS I recommended these to everyone and anyone within ear shot. We breed, raise, train poodles and Bernese mountain dogs. These dogs can be anywhere from 1000-5000 a piece however the pain my family is feeling from this completely avoidable losses no amount can fix. We have not lost just one family member but seven senselessly. It wasn’t till a vet tech advised me in line at our Petco not to buy this product that this was what was making dogs sick! Our puppies and adults all dogs all wore these and experienced vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, spontaneous abortions, chemical burns and the worst death. My family’s heart is broken, it was to the to the point that we were drowning our pets medical bills. Trying to save everyone one else who were originally misdiagnosed because this company FAILED to inform their customers! Shame on you Seresto!Brooke Dent

The pets in our house receive love in frequent Caresses', Brushings, Gardens for play and Special beds for sleep. Above ALL, they receive New Seresto Collars on Valentine's day each year ! Thus, they are protected throughout the year from those nasty ticks and fleas that would love to snuggle into their fur and pester the cats and dogs all season. Stopping our capture /neuter/release program of 35 years, didn't leave us free of cats. We three ranch wives found ourselves still with cats, after the "DUMPING" ceased. And, praying we outlive them ! We were fortunate in finding homes along the way, for kittens and adult cats that were eager to have forever homes. But, unfortunately, there are always the few that pass the "cute-adopt me" stage. Our ranch is currently "BLESSED" with 9, yes NINE varied aged, varied breed CATS – All of whom are loved dearly by all who share their lives. Along with 2 small dogs, expenses would be great if not for PET MEDS ! SERESTO cat & dog purchases are our most important ! With SORESTO, we have never had an infestation of fleas. With the collars they are free to roam our gardens and acreage in comfort. The collars are VERY IMPORTANT to us and the pets lives. We don't need to round up the population for monthly treatments- have no worry a treatment has worn or washed away. Collars can be removed and replaced for bathing and grooming. I sometimes wonder = JUST HOW DID WE MANAGED WITHOUT THEM ! ! ! ! Yes, the collars may seem a bit pricey, BUT WELL WORTH IT ! Lane Unser BBB Ranch Dripping Springs TXLANE

Oversight Subcommittee Report Reveals EPA Failed to Protect Pets, Owners From Dangerous Flea and Tick Collar
Jun 15, 2022 Press Release
Washington, D.C. (June 15, 2022)—Today, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy, released a staff report entitled “Seresto Flea and Tick Collars: Examining Why a Product Linked to More than 2,500 Pet Deaths Remains on the Market,” which details the findings of the Subcommittee’s 16-month investigation into the safety of the Seresto flea and tick collar. The report reveals that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under previous administrations was aware of the dangers of the Seresto collar as early as 2015 and failed to take action to protect pets and their owners. Scientific experts, a former EPA official, and pet owners will testify about the dangers of the Seresto collar and the findings of the Subcommittee’s report at a hearing this afternoon.

“It is unacceptable that the EPA has been aware of the Seresto collar’s safety concerns for years and has continued to allow Americans to unknowingly put their pets in danger by using a product they have been led to believe is safe,” said Chairman Krishnamoorthi. “While I am pleased by the EPA’s new commitment to revisit the incident data, I urge the agency to initiate formal Notice of Intent to Cancel proceedings to determine whether the Seresto collar should be removed from the market, including a comprehensive cost-benefit review of its serious risks. Following the Subcommittee’s disturbing findings, I believe the EPA must expand its data collection standards and more strictly follow its scientific review process to ensure that dangerous products are not permitted to stay on the market and threaten the welfare of pets that so many Americans view as family.”

The Seresto flea and tick collar received EPA approval in 2012 and was introduced to the market in 2013. Since then, Bayer—the original brand owner of the collar—and Elanco—which purchased the product in 2020, have sold more than 30 million collars. Pet owners embraced the convenience of the product, which provides 8 months of flea and tick protection for dogs and cats for under $70, and which is widely sold by pet specialty stores, online pet pharmacies, and large online retailers.

The Subcommittee launched its investigation into the collars in March 2021, following the publication of an investigative report which revealed that, as of June 2020, there had been more than 75,000 incidents and approximately 1,700 pet deaths linked to the Seresto collar. Since then, the reported numbers have increased to more than 98,000 incidents and 2,500 pet deaths.

The Subcommittee reviewed emails from the EPA, as well as documents from Bayer and Elanco, that showed the EPA was aware of these incident numbers and the dangers caused by the collar yet failed to act. Documents and communications obtained by the Subcommittee reveal:

EPA Rushed Seresto’s Approval Through a Flawed Scientific Review Process: An EPA Risk Manager wrote in 2016 that the agency “rushed” the Seresto collar’s registration so that the CDC could use the collars in a study. The California Department of Pesticide Regulation found that key studies that tested the Seresto collar on adult dogs and cats were not acceptable because the studies “greatly under-estimated the exposures” to one of the collar’s active ingredients.

We live in the country and my beagle loves to run in the woods constantly…I put the Ultra Guard Pro flea & tick collar on her a few days ago…and I like that you can cut it to fit perfectly. I also like the way its so easy to use…NO mess and no monthly drippy reapplications. I also LOVE that it is REFLECTIVE!! She's easy to spot!! She's only had it on for a few days but NO scratching !! I'm very happy with the collar so far and would recommend it!mamsue12

I made the mistake of giving my fur baby a flea and tick PILL, and had immediate adverse reactions that now have her on life long, long term medicine for both heart and liver. I will NEVER buy anything other than a collar for the rest of my life, and had to learn the hard way. Every other week there's a new ER visit due to complications from flea and tick pill, even though its well out of her system by now. These collars are tried and trusted. I'd rather have an off chance of having to pluck ticks/fleas by hand than to EVER give ANY pet a flea/tick pill again. Please check the class actions/reports going on as well speak in regards to the pill treatments!! Stick with what you know!jessie.o

Works ok. Wouldn’t recommend if your dog has a small child as a best friend. Kids don’t understand do not touch . Got rid of most of the fleas. Just hard to keep on his neck. He’s not a fankourtney.k

I bought a month ago 3 of them. After 10 days, it broke off. I tried a new one and it broke off again. So not well made.Audubon homestead

Came with no directions and was EXTREMLY difficult to secure to my dog's neck. I had to staple and duct tape it to my dog's existing collar.Dor6

These collars are ineffective! I have found multiple attached ticks on my dogs, right next to the collar. I have used Adams Flea and tick products for foster dogs/cats before, and they seemed to work well. So although I prefer not to use poisons, thought I would try on my own dogs after a mild winter and ticks are appearing in this area (Central NH) more and more. Very disappointed. Wish I could return them, but did not save the packaging.D

The Adams Flea Tick Collar for Dogs are my go-to tick collars for my four-legged babies!! They really work great and very inexpensive. I’ve always really like that they come in packs of 2 because I have 2 big doggies. However, we just recently welcomed a a new baby into our family. Chief’s a full-blooded Chocolate Lab. The packs of 2 are still great though, because I always keep a couple spare packs as backups. We live in Alabama and these are a necessity year round.marcie.m

My 4 month old chiuahaua puppy hasn't been right since buying this collar! Started out fine and then by that night I was woke up to my furbaby scratching uncontrollably at his neck and twitching like he was being stung randomly then came the hallucinations bc he we are night 2 and collar free of course and he's been up all night crying and restless with doe eyes and terror. It's the saddest thing I've ever seen. He's so scared he won't even close his eyes. Beware of this product.Courtney

Bought the Adams flea & tick plus as it came two in a Pkg & we have two small dogs. There was no warning on product that small dogs could suffer side effects more so than larger dogs, I found out online when my baby (the smaller of our two at 11 #'s) started acting very strange. He couldn't be still, yet at bed time he was so tired he would try to lay down & there was involuntary twitching & muscle movement, he couldn't be still. Morning & no difference, so it occurred to us only thing new was the flea collar! Took it off & called my vet. She said long as he hadn't eaten it, he should be ok but to monitor & if he didn't improve he would need pet urgent care. I love my little boy so much! I was in tears, but as day went on he did improve some and that night he was able to sleep right up next to me with some twitching, but not nearly as bad. End of second day, he is much better but I can't imagine the damage done if we hadn't put it together & removed the collar!

Just want to warn people who might consider this for small dogs. Don't risk it!Walker email

After one night in the collar, my poor Chihuahua was weak in the back legs, had NO appetite, started throwing up yellow stomach acid with bits of red, stringy blood in it, and is shaking all over and miserable. I am SO glad I pay attention to everything with my service animal, and knew the collar was the only thing different!!
Terrible side effects for small dogs! Do NOT waste your money and potentially kill your beloved companions!!Salem Rotaru

If I could give zero I would! My poor babies! My small dog became so I’ll she stopped eating and would just lay around all the time. She actually got so pale. My American bully turned red all over and her hair is still falling out!!! 😡😡😡Becca Bush

I've always used Hartz flea collars for my Chihuahua, and they always did a good job of keeping fleas off of him. BUT… this particular collar smells bad and my dog scratches more now than before putting the collar on him. It seems to attract fleas, and irritates my dog's skin. Needless to say, it's in the trash can now.Cecil

I was very skeptical about this product after reading so many negative reviews about allergies and making dogs sick. But at the time it was more convenient because they last a couple of months. I applied it on my dog after finding a tick on him and never did he ever have another tick for the entire summer. My dog was healthy and best thing I did not have to remove it to shower him. Expensive but so worth it.taisha.r

This collar by Harry kept my dog flea free last year. I will definitely be buying these for years to come. She didn’t have a problem keeping the collar on and didn’t itch it too much after the first few minutes. This was her first time wearing a collar.becky.t

These flea collars did not work for my dog. He still had fleas and was bringing them into our home and the cats kept getting them even though they were treated for fleas too. They could improve the product and do more testing on it to be sure it works like it should. No I do not recommend.lacy.k

I would highly recommend the Hartz UltraGuard Pro Flea Tick Collars. My order was for two collars. The order arrived quickly to my residence. The Hartz UltraGuard Pro Flea and Tick collars works quickly killing fleas and tick on my cats. My cats are large. The price of the Hartz UltraGuard Pro Flea and Tick Collars is priced very reasonable and affordable.The flea and tick collars are made of quality materials. I am both happy and satisfied with my order.jdaws1861961

We are VERY pleased so far with the natural flea collars we purchased for our dog and cat. Abby, our min Schnauzer, has multiple environmental allergies in the Spring and Fall, and very allergic to fleas. She actually liked the scent of her collar, had no irritation, and is not scratching or biting at all so far this season!! Our cat is also a happy camper, and she is outside all the time here in the South. So I think we will be lifetime fans of your products. Thank you SO much for quality natural products for our fur babies!! They both give five paws at this point!!!Cecil R.

I put these collars on both my dogs, one Papillon and one Beagle mix. The Papillon never seems to mind, but the Beagle mix (Olive) just has a fit. I am wondering if the intense peppermint scent has ever been an issue for dogs with those sensitive noses. Olive cowers and her behavior changes when she is wearing this collar like it is overwhelming her? Prolly just my weird dog…lol. I even took it out of the package for a day and let it "air" before putting it on her. We had the same problem last year and eventually I had to remove the collar.Janelle

I have four cats. They hate the topical chemical treatments and I feel guilty putting it on them. Last summer we used these flea collars and I never saw a single flea! They had never worn a collar before so they acted a little weird at first but got used to them. This year I'm going to use the natural topical treatment on two of my cats because they've turned into escape artists and are now jumping my fenced back yard. I worry about the collar getting caught on brush and twigs. The other two cats behave and stay in the yard so I'll probably continue with the collars and compare the two.Mary B.

It seems to work well against ticks but the handling is rather difficult. Really hard to close it and then it cannot be taken off anymore (e.g. for a bath or simply comfort) without breaking it. I very much preferred the other tick collars WnP had, pity they do not sell them anymore.Jochen K.

First, the great: I love the way this collar smells. My husband is extremely sensitive to smells so most of the tick collars have been too strong for him. This cedarwood/ peppermint combo is lovely and not strong-smelling. The good: getting the collar put together was a little tough. The first stop is difficult to get past, but then it’s fine. The not great: I have still gotten a few ticks off of my golden retriever. I still feel this is better than if she didn’t have anything on. Thanks for making a product that is so wonderful.Kate D.

This collar does smell great. We also haven't had any flea or ticks so it's also working. We are not happy with it though for two reasons: 1. It's hard to get tight and one of our cats keeps getting it caught in his jaw when he cleans himself, so we finally had to remove the collar. 2. I am concerned one of our cats could get choked by this collar if caught in something. It's very strong and doesn't have any "break-away," feature so this possibility worries me.Susan K.

My German Shepherd pup Ellie is sporting her new protection! The collar seems to be very comfortable and sits right above her normal collar. It was easy to put it on and I love that this is a 2-pack, offering a full year of protection since each collar is good for 6 months. The reflective coating is a nice touch, glowing in the dark with only the slightest bit of light needed. We live way out in the rural country with lots of woods and tall grasses for the buggers to hide out, so it’ll be good knowing that I can rest easy while Ellie is romping around. I had a flea infestation once and it was a nightmare! Update: After a week of use, it is clear that this collar does not prevent ticks from attaching. I have found several ticks on Ellie daily since I put the collar on her, embedded and not dead. I cannot speak as to the efficiency of the collar's protection against fleas yet, but I haven't seen any on her so perhaps that part works. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review.maybemarina

I live in an area where fleas don't thrive, but my dog gets ticks pretty regularly each summer. I have used topical flea and tick medication in the past, but the dog always flinched when I applied it so I wanted an easier solution. This flea and tick collar is an easy no-fuss solution that does not upset my dog and claims to work for up to 6 months for each collar. As there are 2 collars in the package, they will get me through 2 flea and tick seasons easily. It also claims to repel mosquitos, which is an added bonus. I have only had the collar on my dog for a few days now, so too soon to tell if it is working, but also no sign of ticks so far. The product itself is easy to use, and comes packaged in a sturdy metal tin. The collars do not have a strong chemical smell, they seem to just smell like rubber. There is no oily residue on the collar, just a dry white powdery residue. I did not feel like I was getting exposed to harsh chemicals when handling the collar. To unroll the collar you do have to snap a few little plastic connectors, and remove any remnants of the connectors inside the collar. To put the collar on your dog you simply slide one end of the collar through the buckle and adjust to fit, similar to a belt. You do have to pull a little to get the collar through the buckle, and my dog was a little suspicious when I was fussing around with it. The collar is "one size fits all", so if you have a smaller dog like mine, you will need to cut off the excess length of collar. My dog was also a little nervous when I brought out the scissors to cut off the excess collar length, but I did it as quickly as possible. Once the collar is on and adjusted, it's just like any other dog collar and the dog seems fine with it. I recommend this product for any dog owner who has had issues in the past with topical flea and tick medications and wants an easier solution. Note: I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion.rationalgaze

I’m very happy that I got to try Hartz Ultra Guard ProMax flea and tick collar for my dogs. We have an all-natural wooded backyard and walk in the woods out by the reservoir several times a week. So, we are exposed to areas that are not treated and have a big need to keep our dogs protected from fleas and ticks. We’ve had the collars on our big dogs for a couple weeks now and have not seen any critters on them. And, even though they play and are very active, the collars stay in place. We are also very pleased with the water resistant, because they run into the water and former treatments became ineffective once the dogs got wet. Our observation is that it is effective in repelling fleas and ticks, the collar stays in place, looks nice and is lightweight and durable, they do not irritate the dogs’ skin, they are water-resistant, and are priced right for their duration compared to other products. We would highly recommend Hartz Ultra Guard ProMax flea and tick collar and will definitely buy again. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion.Sassylifter1
