Mediocore product I thought using organics would help decrease exposure to chemicals but the product doesn't really work so ended up using other flea topical medication. Applied the spray and the following day the dog is still scratching and fleas could still be found crawling on my pet. I thought at least the fleas would be killed and my pet at least flea free for a couple of days. The odor of the spray is not offensive but do you want your pet smelling minty fresh.
smells way too strong I could smell this flea and tick spray before I even opened the box. While it isnt an unpleasant smell it is waaaaay too strong. As for its effectiveness it seemed to work if the fleas were directly sprayed individually.I couldnt get every flea. My pets still have fleas I had to wash it off of them because the smell was so strong it was making me sick to my stomach and one of my dogs also became sick.Thats my experience it may work for others but not for me. I wouldnt recommend it.
Didn't get to use it Amazon didn't pack & ship this spray safely & it leaked all over the place. I had to toss it out. It had a very strong smell that bothered my sinuses.
Works great so far I brought home a foster dog without applying Frontline. I was rushing and was not thinking about fleas. After a couple days I had many bites on my lower legs. While shopping I saw the bottle decided to try Richards Organics since I had previously had bought a product by this company and loved it.It has been about 4 days now and no biting. I sprayed my dogs with this and personally I love the scent.It does leave a light residue on the dogs coat that seems be gone now after a few days. If I do not have to use a chemical product I am very happy.BTW my bottle says NOT SAFE FOR CATS'.The bottle says it Kills Fleas & Ticks for up to 4 Weeks.
Works.but does contain strong smelling oils So many times I see negative reviews for this and other natural flea and tick products because of the smell. What do folks expect from a product containing peppermint oil clove oil thyme oil etc etc.? They smell strong because that is how they repel flea and ticks.Personally I would rather use natural products more frequently and deal with the odor than put poisonous insecticides on my GSD. Of course this is a personal choice that all pet owners will need to make.I just wonder if it's unfair to give a negative review because some people think it stinks. If it didn't repel flea and ticks then that would be another story. However don't say it doesn't work when you bathe the stuff off your pets because the smell is too strong for the people.My dog does try to roll around in the grass after I apply it outside. The smell is strong and I accept it and live with it because the bugs leave him alone and he is not itching from getting bitten up. I have not found any ticks on him and we do have a heavy deer population here. In fact he has dormant Lyme disease..
Mystery ingredients not organic not safe for cats Nice label. To look at it you'd think it was an upscale natural organic product of integrity. But to be sure I wanted to see the ingredients list since it's not listed here on Amazon. So I went to the site for Synergy Labs which manufactures the stuff. On the product description they state For dogs and cats over 12 weeks but looking at the partial ingredient list offered on the site I see that this is not at all safe for cats as it contains several essential oils. For those who don't know essential oils pose a unique toxicity risk to cats and can be quickly fatal as cats are not able to metabolize essential oils the way that humans dogs and other animals are able to do. In addition to this major blunder the ingredient list on Synergy Labs site was pathetically inadequate to even describe the actual ingredients.This is the ingredient list as offered on the site Peppermint oil eugenol clove oil cedar oil cinnamon oil rosemary oil inert ingredients.I have several gripes with this not the least of which is that none of these are actually mentioned as being organic much less certified organic. Another gripe To read this list you'd think the product was 100% essential oils which is certainly not true. Granted they mention in the product description that this product contains Chamomile and Aloe Vera extracts and contains No artificial color or fragrance but we still don't know the primary ingredients. There is something that composes the majority of the formula upwards of 60 to 90% of it in fact beyond the essential oils and extracts. What is this mystery ingredient? Water? Oil? What?Another gripe I suspect in their hurry to jump on the organics bandwagon they weren't paying close attention to that ingredient list and inadvertently listed the same ingredient twice eugenol and clove oil. At this point I don't know what bothers me most the cobby ingredient list? the irresponsible false claim that this is safe for cats when it's not? the deceptive suggestion that this product is organic when it's not? Or the pretty label which has apparently duped a lot of people into buying a product they believed was a natural organic product of integrity?Goes to show the important words are on the back of the label not the front.
GREAT product! i bought this at my local natural pet store it is cheaper here so i will be ordering from amazon in the future it is a great product. it is a stronger smellbut the smell is not chemicals that is very important. it is essential oils. i actually don't mind the smell and spray my kids/self when hiking or outdoors. it is much better than getting lyme disease since we have used it on our dog/selves we have had no tick incidences.
BEWARE! We used this product on our nowdeceased family petobviously it did not work well. We then purchased Richard's Organics Neem Oilthinking that would be a nontoxic safe solution.Were we wrong. Our beloved dog died within a week of applying the undiluted neem oilwe are devastated. Four different vets could not save her. She suffered from convulsions severe central nervous system dysfunction brain damage etc. It was the most tragic thing I have ever witnessed in all of my years being a pet owner.There is no known antidote to neem oil poisoning.
NOT for cats I ordered this product to use on my cats. The product description says it is for use on dogs AND cats. After doing some research on the ingredients I found that some of these essential oils are actually toxic to cats. Then after looking on the product label more carefully it does not say it is for cats but specifically says in very small print under the name it is for DOGS. I would NOT use this on a cat. We put a small amount on my cat before we knew better. It does have a terrible odor but I don't know if it works or not. If you have a dog go for it. Just wish the description would have been truthful and not said it is safe for cats.
Great alternative to the chemicals in other flea treatments My dog has permanent hair loss from using topical flea treatments such as Frontline plus. I bought this as well as the matching shampoo to try as a natural alternative.It works best if you wash your pet with the flea and tick shampoo first and follow up with a light spray of this product. Concentrating on the legs feet and under the tail. The smell isn't great but it is bearable.If your pet licks themselves compulsively I wouldn't recommend this but if your pet doesn't have extremely sensitive skin its fine. I also don't recommend it for cats as many essential oils can be toxic to cats.
