Bio Spot Spot On Flea and Tick Control for Dogs Review

btw - DO NOT BUY CHEAP FLEA PRODUCTS - they have been known to cause death, and when they don't they have severe reactions or don't work at all!!!!!!

You should order your frontline online in that case. At out clinic its ~ $15 a dose. Thats about what it is online too and its easy enough to order. Or go to a new clinic .... frontline from the distributer is only about 5 dollars a dose!!!! $30 a dose is a RIP OFF!!

For your budget, there are some things you can do holisitically to minimize the impact of fleas on your dog. They are cheap, and natural, and for sensitive animals-a godsend. Supplement food with garlic tablets, available at most pet and pet food outlets and online through Dr. Fosters, JB Wholesale, KV vet supply etc. The appropriate dosing is on the bottle by weight of the animal...it is not costly and also lends to a shiny coat. Fill the pet bed with cedar shavings-like the ones you put in hamster and guinea pig cages (fleas hate the cintronella naturally occuring in cedar shavings) Another plus is pet doesn't smell doggy in the summer months and neither does the house. Change out the shavings about once every six weeks. And make a dilution using limes and lemons, slicing them down but leaving the skins on, boiling them in water (covered) for at least ten minutes and then letting them cool overnight with the lid still on-strain off the solids and keep the fluid in a spray bottle in the fridge-you have just created natural d-Limonene which you just spritz on the dog before going outdoors. It smells nice and clean-only drawback is that alot of dogs become summer blondes by the end of summer-but that is better than fleas. I have friends who train horses who have had phenomenal luck with both flea and tick prevention using the Skin so soft from avon which now comes in a pump and spray form for about $6 per bottle on special. Hope it helps keep your pooch from itching and you from going broke.

I had used bio spot on my cat had to rush to vet next day for poisioning. don't know if he will make it. I will not use another chemical on my animals. If it says dangerous to humans it is also dangerouse to animals. But there should be something done so they can not be on the market any more.

My sister-in-law's small dog had a very similar reaction to K9 Advantix. Her dog also required a vet visit and was told to use Frontline which we also use and have never had a problem with.

I have heard terrible things about them. My dogs use Frontline too. I think the whole pet industry is a little bit of a racket. My dog recently got hit by a car (dug a hole under our fence) and they told us it would be $2000 to assess her and stabilize her for 18 hours. Then, she could go for surgery, which could cost up to $10k but they cant give us a bid until after 18 hours (or $2k) WHAT?! That's more than it would cost for me!!
