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 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.

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.

My dog is on the flea/tick/heartworm/etc pill. But that does not repel ticks until after they bite. I was still picking off about 2 ticks a day from the top of her fur. This lead to ticks is missed leaving the dog in bed and getting on my wife and I. She found this unacceptable. So I needed something to repel ticks before they bite (more quickly). This did the trick. Greatly reduces the number of ticks I find on top of her fur, and eliminated the ones on the Skin. And no more bed ticks! I apply after her monthly bath. I just spray my hands and run her hair through my fingers making her hair moist. That seems to work through the next bath. My only complaint (and the reason for the 4 stars) is the sprayer does not work well. (This is for the 8 oz size with the push down pump.) After a few pumps it stays down and won't pump any more. This only lasts several seconds, but it is frustrating to fight the sprayer while wrestling the dog. Have been using for about a year and our bottle is still half full. Decided to buy the bigger bottle with the trigger sprayer to see if that works better even though we had lots left. So other than the sprayer I like this product. It minimizes the time ticks will stay on the dog and seems to prevent them moving from the hair surface to the skin surface.

I have very mixed views on this. I have a short-haired dachshund and a long-haired, coarse-coated Aussie and a very large yard that's difficult to treat. The Aussie has sensitive skin and I am in general very skeptical of using chemical flea treatments on my dogs, so I picked this up as a budget-friendly alternative to harsh chemical treatments. I don't regret buying this spray, but it's not a miracle, by any means. I bathed and soaked both dogs on Day 1 and pulled every visible flea off of them. Then after they dried, I sprayed them with this product before they ever went outside. I repeated the spray every time they came in and went out (based on advice from other reviewers), checking them constantly for bugs. We made it to Day 3 without finding a single flea on either dog, but the dachshund came in with four fleas. I have witnessed that this spray, when applied directly and used plentifully, DOES kill fleas on contact. It does take a few seconds in the solution, but it does work. You have to be very thorough and consistent in applying this spray for it to be effective. The smell is pleasant enough and the oils wash off human skin easily enough that I didn't bother putting gloves on to rub it in to the dogs. It was harder to fully saturate the Aussie with the spray since she would flinch away (she's not fond of sprays, moisture, or the smell, I think, there's no signs that it irritated her in any way) and it takes a dozen sprays to even begin to moisten her thick fur. This spray does lather a bit as you rub it in, which makes the whole process easier. Have noticed that using this spray really helps to condition my long-haired dog's fur, leaving it soft and more manageable than usual, so that's a plus!

Very quick and extremely effective. Must come in direct contact with fleas but it kills them within seconds

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 really hate to write review with a single star but there is little to no merits regarding this product as far as we're concerned. We have two Great Danes which we grow closer to everyday. About a month ago we got a flea infestation & it's been a constant monkey on our back costing is $100's. More often than not larger dog breed tend to handle medicine better than smaller or more active breeds, & we've had Doberman's, German Shepard's, & Mastiff's. Well, we figured anything natural surely would be better than a man made chemical, though not as effective. We started with a round of Capstar which did work pretty well, & then a follow-up with a topical medicine, Advantag. That's when one of our Dane's began looking up at the ceiling for no apparent reason, it's a very weird reaction but it didn't seem to affect him otherwise & it slowly went away over about 3 weeks. It was decided to go the natural route to finish getting rid of the fleas, we sprayed this on out Danes & my wife & daughter left to go shopping. About 30 minutes after the application the same Dane jumped off the couch towards me & went into a seizure, I called my wife home since her we need her SUV to transport the dog to the vet. It took her about 15 mins.to get home at which time our Dane had come out of his 3rd & last seizure. They weren't terrible episodes & he maintained consciousness through-out everything, it was enough to make you angry at yourself & the company who makes this product. Just do you homework, & look up every chemical or ingredient before you to give it your animal, I wished I had. Our Danes are doing okay now, we've got baking soda in the carpets & treating the carpeted rooms with dry ice. If you look at my other reviews you can see all the products we've bought to deal with this. Regards, Steve

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.
