Highlighted Reviews

β€” Rochelle

"Instant relief"

β€” Debra

"The dog isn’t impressed. It’s a little hard to pump and for my double coated dog it’s hard to get it to the skin. On the plus sight, it doesn’t cause the itching that spot on products cause, and you can spray bedding and floors with it"

Bottom Line

If you can tolerate the strong smell and occasional application issues, this spray can be effective for flea and tick control. Otherwise, consider other options.
