Hartz, experts in flea and tick solutions for over 55 years, announced the release of a national consumer ‘No F&T’ campaign to educate pet owners on the importance of year-round flea and tick protection. Protect your pet all year long- and don’t wait until you sea fleas to make sure your pet doesn’t get them. Remember- they can be super hard to get rid of, and you might have to “flea bomb” the whole house to kill them- which is really, really expensive and a pain to boot, not to mention that it is terrible for your pets.
The primary flea and tick season in the United States is April – September; however fleas survive throughout the year. Hartz is committed to educating consumers that a consistently protected pet mounts a stronger defense against flea infestation; an infestation that cannot only pose a threat to the animals, but also to the home. Hartz has a complete line of flea and tick products, including collars, shampoos, home and garden sprays, and its best prevention product; Hartz® UltraGuard Pro® Flea & Tick Drops for cats and dogs.
“Only 5% of the problem is addressed when consumers treat the adult fleas they can actually see,” states Lance Hemsarth, Senior Director, Research & Development at Hartz. “That means the remaining 95% of larvae and eggs left untreated can cause re-infestation. It is our duty as a trusted pet care brand to educate families regarding the health benefits of consistent flea prevention treatment for their pets.” Like personal health exams and smoke alarm battery checks, establishing preventative behavior aids in overall health. Implementing interactive and engaging tactics to augment this behavior is the goal of this campaign.
Renowned veterinarian, Dr. Bernadine Cruz, will contribute to the ‘No F&T’ messaging through her practice based in Laguna Woods, California, as well as through her internet based radio show ‘The Pet Doctor’ heard on www.PetLifeRadio.com. States Dr. Cruz, “I have a special interest in flea and tick care for dogs and cats. When applied consistently, pet owners can safeguard their animals and their homes year-round; eliminating costly veterinary office visits for infestation and help protect the health of their pets and family. I am thrilled to be a part of this educational campaign.”
The ‘No F&T’ approach will target consumers with the hashtag #NOFT to create community among pet owners and establish a prevention lifestyle. Digital ads and social media messaging, including monthly care reminders, will be communicated via Facebook starting this month.

I wish everyone would continue the flea & tick meds through the winter months!!! My own aunt says her dog doesn’t’ need it because it’s cold out and the insects don;t bother dogs then. Even in cold weather, fleas are alive, maybe at your neighbors home!
hey,that is good for the prevention and control of fleas and ticks.
