"This stuff works great, not only do I use it on my dog I feel safe using it on my clothes and skin when I do yardwork during flea and tick season. While my dog doesn't like it all that much, she doesn't lick it off and she doesn't have fleas when we use it. Don’t get bites either when we do hiking..."
"I'm not sure if this works or not but it's not safe as they say...my dachshund started scratching so bad he was bleeding...I took to vet this morning and she told me to discontinue use on ALL my pets...that he was having a reaction to it...my other dogs are still scratching but not as bad as him so..."
