How To Consistently Protect Your Pet Against Fleas & Ticks

We’ve had Yoshi for almost two years now. She’s a great dog and a wonderful addition to the family.

Yoshi Dog

Hartz UltraGuard Plus & treats received.

She loves people, giving hugs, doing tricks, going on walks, playing ball, and sleeping in bed!

YoshiWhen we first got Yoshi it had been many, many years since we last had a dog. When we bought her from the shelter and took her to the vet one of the first things they talked about was protecting her from fleas and ticks. Since it had been long since we had a dog we had forgotten all about that!

Now that nearly two years have gone by we make sure to keep up on her flea and tick prevention regularly and we also like to stay current on pet health. That’s why I was excited about UltraGuard Plus and other Hartz treats for Yoshi.

Hartz ProductsI was interested to learn that Hartz has launched a “No F&T” campaign, it stands for “no fleas and ticks.” The purpose of the campaign is to educate pet owners on the importance of year-round flea and tick protection.

Did you know that the primary flea season in the United States is April through September but that fleas survive throughout the year?

It’s important to make sure your pet is consistently protected because it mounts a stronger defense against fleas which can pose a threat to your pet and to your home.

The good news is Hartz has a complete line of flea & tick products including collars, shampoos, and home & garden sprays and topical treatments like Hartz UltraGuardPlus.

Yoshi HartzI was interested to read on the box that the Hartz UltraGuard Plus starts killing fleas within 15 minutes. We don’t have any problems right now with Yoshi and fleas, but it’s great to have this on hand in case we do and as a preventative so we never have to deal with them.

Hartz UltraGuard PlusI’m looking forward to the summer and being outside with the family and with Yoshi often and it will be wonderful knowing that she is protected from fleas and ticks. We’ll also be sure to continue using Hartz UltraGuard Plus through the rest of the year to keep her consistently protected and free of fleas & ticks.

To learn more about this campaign follow the hashtag #NOFT on social media.

    We use Hartz UltraGuard Plus to protect our dog. Keeping our dog protected from fleas is important.

    It is so important to protect against fleas and ticks because they cause a lot of health problems for a dog. I like the items that you received from Hartz, and the dog treats look so good in helping clean the dog’s gums. Your dog is so cute!!

    I had no idea that the main flea season in the US starts as early as April! Protection from fleas is an especially important issue to me because my cat has a flea allergy so she is much more irritated by them.

    Thanks for the great tips! it’s so important to protect your pet from fleas as fleas carry lots of diseases.

    I need this for my dog. I have used other brands, but not this one yet

    I’m the first to admit that my memory is not the greatest anymore, but I seem to recall when you got Yoshi and the awesome pics you shared. Fleas, ticks and mosquitoes are terrible here this year. I tried Hartz and it just didn’t work for us this year so I have my dog on an oral flea/heartworm med from the vet. But it’s so expensive that I wish we were still using Hartz.

    Now I need to go out and purchase these Hartz items for our two dogs perfect for the summer time. Love reading about pet reviews, thanks!

    Hertz pet supplies are the best I tend to be drawn to this company for my two dogs.

    I’ve used Hartz pet products for many years and trust them for much of my pet needs. Nice review, what a sweetheart!

    I knew that the majority of flea and tick season was in the summer, I didn’t realize the majority started as early as April (as well as year round). I’m going to have to check out Hartz Ultraguard Plus for my dog.

Hey there! I’m Tesa, the mom behind 2 Wired 2 Tired. The blog got its name because we have two kids born a year apart and my husband, Dave, and I always joked that "the kids were too wired and we were too tired!" :)

Fast forward a bit—now the kids are off to college (how did that happened so fast!) and since 2009, I’ve been blogging through the chaos, coffee in hand, finding the best in family, travel, and tech—because honestly, who has time for bad gadgets and boring trips?

So, whether you're searching for family travel inspiration, tech gadgets, or tips to enhance family life, you're in the right place because the fun (and the coffee) is always brewing around here!
