So here is the line first: this is a repellent you put on before the walk. It is not a treatment, and it will not clear a dog that already has fleas.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your dog has fleas right now, close this page and call your vet. Get the treatment, finish it, and come back for the walks after.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat this is, is the extra layer. Peppermint oil and eugenol, the compound in clove, are the two ingredients plant based repellents are built around, and this bottle is those plus tea tree oil and aloe extract so it is not drying the way an alcohol based spray is. The label reads 100ml (3.38 fl oz). It mists fine and dries in a few minutes, so it is not sitting greasy on the coat when your dog jumps on the couch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it earns its keep\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe walk through long grass.\u003c\/strong\u003e Mist the legs and belly at the door.

Do a small patch test on one spot, leave it a day, and check with your vet before you make it a routine. Never use it on a cat. This is the part most listings leave out, and it is the part that matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it is, and what it is not\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt is a repellent.\u003c\/strong\u003e That is how it is sold and that is all we will say for it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt is not a pesticide, and we make no claim about it killing anything.\u003c\/strong\u003e There is no number on this page for how many fleas it stops, because we have not run a trial on our own bottles. If we ever do, the number goes here along with how we got it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt is not a substitute for what your vet prescribes.\u003c\/strong\u003e Use it alongside, not instead of.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt is not perfumed.\u003c\/strong\u003e It smells of peppermint and clove because that is what is in it, not because fragrance was added.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions people ask first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this get rid of the fleas my dog already has?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It is a repellent for prevention, not a treatment for an active infestation. Talk to your vet, deal with the dog and the house properly, then use this to help keep it from coming back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it actually kill fleas and ticks?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe do not claim that it does. It is sold as a plant based repellent, not as a pesticide, and we have not tested our own bottles against one. Anything you read anywhere quoting a kill rate for a spray like this is quoting a factory sheet, not a result.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it on my cat?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Tea tree, peppermint and clove oils are widely reported as harmful to cats, even in small amounts. Keep cats away from a freshly sprayed dog until the coat is dry, and if your cat has fleas, ask your vet for a treatment made for cats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy not just buy this on Amazon?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGo and look. There are plenty of peppermint and clove sprays there, some cheaper, and a lot of them promise on the front of the bottle that they kill fleas. We will not print that because we have not measured it. What you get here instead is a US warehouse so it arrives in days, an email a person answers, and 30 days to get your money back without posting anything back. If the cheaper bottle suits you better, buy it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it with the flea treatment my vet gave us?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAsk your vet. They know what your dog is already on, and that is not a call for us to make from a product page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it stain the coat or the furniture?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It is a fine mist that dries without an oily residue. Let the coat dry fully before the couch anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow often can I use it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore outdoor time, or every few days through the season. Stop straight away if you see any redness or scratching at the spot you sprayed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSome got in my dog's eye, or they licked it. What do I do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRinse the eye with clean water. If your dog swallowed any or the irritation does not settle, call your vet. Do not wait it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow fast does it ship?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the one product in the shop that ships from a US warehouse.
