"Ultraguard Plus has kept my cat flea and tick free for over 6 years . I love that it's a topical and easy to apply once a month . The price is very reasonable."

— Stori

"This product caused giant sores on the back of both of my cats necks. It literally like fried their skin. Not to mention it didn’t stay contained on their application spot and made it easy for them to lick and caused them to freak out for hours."
