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

We live in an area with a very warm and humid climate, and this summer my dog suddenly started scratching a lot. At first, I thought it was an allergy, but then I noticed tiny black fleas on her. My dog is regularly on Simparica Trio, so I went to the veterinarian to make sure everything was okay. The vet explained that even with Simparica Trio, fleas can still live in the environment and bite, causing itching, even though they don’t pose a serious health risk. She recommended using a natural flea spray before going outside. I bought this Vet’s Best spray on Amazon and started applying it before our walks. I was honestly surprised — my dog stopped scratching almost immediately. The scent is very pleasant and herbal, not strong or irritating at all. I also like that it’s plant-based and safe for dogs. The effect lasts for several hours, which is more than enough for our 1–1.5 hour walks. It has been a great addition to our flea prevention routine, especially during hot summer months.

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 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)!

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!

Smells good, and keeps fleas away

This is the first time using this product brand and the ingredients were very sound. I was looking for someone that would not irritate the skin for my pet and would be a vet recommended. I found this one and I absolutely love it. It has a lavender cinnamon smell to it washes off easy but repels and kills all those little creatures out there like ticks, mosquitoes, and fleas with their eggs that could damage the dog and its health. The product is of good quality and it’s right on price point for the value that you get per ounce. I would highly recommend this.

Very happy with purchase , only one comment .i waited such a long time for it to arrive .
