Vet's Best Natural Flea and Tick Spray for Dogs – Plant-Based Flea Repellent with Certified Essential Oils – Natural Pest Control and Prevention – Non-Toxic Formula for Home Use – 8 oz Bottle

This tonic is terrific. I could NOT believe how well it worked, especially for a "feel good, all natural, go green" product. I thought it would probably be 'politically correct,' but would lack any real killing power. Wow, was I wrong. It has been said that all drugs are just natural remedies that have been purified, and to some extent, I'm sure that's true. So when you can go straight to the source, why bother with the man-made alternative?This product is nature's finest: it's a simple blend of peppermint oil, clove extract, and sodium laurel sulfate (a soap found in most shampoos). I rubbed it into my dog's hair and skin with a cotton ball (I did not spray it b/c I didn't want the fumes). Maybe working it into her skin really made the difference, I'm not sure since I never tried otherwise. I left it on her about 20 minutes, at which point she was sitting at me feet with her head cocked to one side and a "what did you just do to me" expression on her face. The smell is wonderful, but I could imagine it was over-powering for her, so I decided to rinse her off (even though the directions say nothing about rinsing). Since she's a little Yorkie (oh, yeah, super cutie), I decided to shower her in the upstairs tub that has a detachable shower-head so I could really put a lot of water pressure on the little suckers. I don't know if they were dead, in shock, or just too fumigated to hold on tight, but they rinsed right off and down the drain. She has a short 'puppy cut,' and I worked my fingers into her skin to dislodge any fleas that might still have a strangle hold. All totaled I rinsed about 15 of them down the drain with a scalding hot chaser. Sorry, I give to PETA but fried fleas are NOT animal cruelty :)She has been one happy puppy ever since, and is scratching just a few times a day, instead of every few minutes. I will repeat the treatment next week as well, just to finish them off, but all in all WE are D-E-L-I-G-H-T-E-D with the results. And for the price, and the environmental friendliness, you can't go wrong with this product!

I got tired of buying the flea and tick collars that just never work. Even when you put it on the dog they always end up with ticks. I live in an area with a lot of deers. After doing my research I came across this and will keep using. It is easy to apply as all you have to do is spray the dog down. Key thing to remember is to make sure you rub the spray in after spray it on the dog. I make sure to rub under my dog’s legs and her belly since that is a known spot. It is safe for the dog and the price is a great. It smells like minty eucalyptus type smell.

I got this because I used "flea drops" that simply didn't work, I'll write a separate review on that product.I needed something that would fill the time gap for the rest of the month, until I could apply another product to combat the fleas.It provides relief from the fleas and has a pleasant smell. I'm not sure if it's a magic bullet or ultimate flea killer, but it does seem to help.Truth be told when going into a heavily infested area to treat it, I use it on myself! The fleas eventually jump off, not sure if they die (I certainly hope they do)!

I use this to spray my dogs before I take the them out and when I bring them in. This heat brings out bugs fleas and I don’t want my with anything making them uncomfortable.

EDIT: 9/20/20 - I left this review, two weeks later I took my dog to the vet and he had worms, the vet feels it's because he wasn't on flea prevention. We've done some tests and have found a medical flea prevention that works for my dogs breed. Lesson learned. This stuff worked very well for us for two years. But as we became more active outdoors during the summer, hiking nearly every day for hours in areas full of greenery and wooded areas..it was't enough. I should have known better. Great product, just be aware of its limitations.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I live in the Pacific Northwest. Lots of forests, hiking and various outdoor activities. I've an Australian Shepherd.My Aussie has a thick undercoat. After I spray this on him, I use a fine tooth comb to ensure his fur is properly saturated so the solution can make contact with his skin. If we go on a long hike and will be outdoors for hours, I spray it on 30 minutes before we leave. Otherwise, for day to day walks, I usually spray him down once every three or so days.In the two years I've been using this, he has had no fleas or ticks. (knock wood).The only drawback..the smell. It is STRONG. If you cannot withstand the smell of cloves, do not purchase this product. If the smell is strong to me, I can't imagine how it must be assaulting my poor dogs nose! Other than that, phenomenal product!

Great & nice scent!

Guys PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS!!! Essential oils are natural yes but some are severely toxic. THIS PRODUCT HAS 2 ESSENTIAL OILS THAT ARE EXTREMELY TOXIC: CLOVE AND PEPPERMINT!!!! Google these 2 oils for side effects. Use essential oils Lavender, Lemongrass and cedar wood diluted in water, mix polysorbate 20 to keep oils and water from separating. I make my own using the last 3 oils. I put it in a spray bottle and spray my yorkie. I spray on my hands then rub it on her head and face. AVOID THEIR 👀. FLEAS HATE THIS STUFF. She comes home no scratching or biting. Also smells amazing. Try it guys I promise u won’t be disappointed is u make ur own but u will be disappointed if u purchase this product and ur fur baby will pay the price with health issues… DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT 🤢

I believe this is a new formula cause the smell is different from the previous bottle and my dog does not react (sneezing) to the spray. Also notice it work well - less scratching when applied.
