Pet Naturals Flea and Tick Prevention Spray with Natural Oils for Dogs and Cats, 8 Ounce - Safe for Bedding and Collars - Clean, Non Sticky Ingredients

This is the second time I purchased this product. It is probably one of the few natural and pet safe repellents out there. They sell a organic and pet friendly repellant only at Home Depot which smells identical to this product so the ingredients are the same i suspect. It has a very strong odor but it is not bad and I use this on my Huskies daily b/c around here in the summer they wander off into the bushes and almost always get a tick once a month since they get daily walks and sometimes two. The Advantix II and Frontline didn't help at all so i resorted to using apple cider vinegar on their treats and when giving them baths using a little vinegar to help penetrate to the skin then wash it off. It helped or it could have just been a coincidence in conjunction to using this product daily on their feet and rubbing it near their necks which is where ticks love to climb and cling on to. Since using this product i have not found a single tick on them with the exception of finding one on one of them and that is because we took a new route and the rascal pulled me to the side so he could pee on a bush and rubbed his lower half into the bush which i had not sprayed. I keep them away from bushes as much as I can but they get their way sometimes, it's your job to keep them happy and healthy and as a responsible and caring dog owner I would recommend this product if you have tick problems. We don't have flee's around here so i can't comment on how well it works but I imagine it is just as effective. The product states to rub it in their fur and you can spray every 2-3 days but I spray their legs daily before the walk and rub it in their leg and around their neck and it has worked well. I also wipe the guys clean after every walk with baby wipes so it helps clean them and takes away the odor of this spray as well. I would recommend this for sure.

We live in an area that can have a lot of ticks depending on the time of year, and our little black terrier is just a magnet for them - seriously, one time we came home and pulled more than 50 ticks off of him after a day long walk. It was horrifying and I felt terrible for the little guy. I don't know if it's the color of his fur or the length or that he's low to the ground or just the perfect storm, but he attracts ticks like no dog I've ever seen. We have most often used Frontline, and we still do at the worst times of the year, but much of the year, this seems to suffice. He doesn't like the smell and acts like he's being tortured when I apply it, but he's back to normal in a few minutes. (And I like the smell fine :>) He has had very few tick issues since we started using this; either alone or in conjunction with Frontline. The caveat here is that nothing is perfect - including the expensive chemicals (oral and in an applicator) that I get from the vet. I certainly can't promise you that you won't ever find a flea or tick with this product. It helps quite a bit, however, and I like the idea of not putting a bunch of chemicals on him, not the least because he sleeps in our bed and is always with us, so what we put on him we are really applying to ourselves.

This product seems to work really well as a natural alternative to traditional flea and tick medicines that go into dog's blood stream. We live in an area where ticks abound - my short legged little dachshund would sometimes pick up 10 of them on a short walk despite of us using Advantix. So I stopped Advantix alltogether (she was always itchy after applying it anyway), and she's been doing really well. You do have to remember to apply it at least once a day for it to be effective, but as long as you do, no little hitch hikers on your furry friend. It has a pleasant spicy scent and smells a lot like cinnamon. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that she really doesn't like it to be sprayed on her so I spray it on my hand and then apply it all over her fur.

I use this product as a kind of extra precaution sometimes when my cat goes outside. The fleas in our area got really bad, so I had to resort to putting the poison on my cat (Revolution) to get rid of the bad infestation he had. In between using the Revolution spot-on formula, I will sometimes spray this on my cat's body and rub it in a bit before sending him outside. He hates it, but he will tolerate it. I just think it helps towards the end of the month when the Revolution is wearing off but I don't want to reapply it too early and overload his body with the chemicals. I wish this stuff worked as good as the chemicals, but sometimes you just gotta bring in the big guns when the fleas get that bad. This stuff smells really good though, I love how it makes the cat smell. I like knowing it won't harm him or me, since it's just essential oils. I spray it on my couches and his bedding sometimes too to refresh and keep fleas away from it.
