My pet store just started carrying it and it's 1/3 of the price of Frontline, which is what I usually buy. It's Natural Defense flea & tick treatment, and it's all natural. The ingredients are :

Active Ingredients:
Peppermint Oil .................. 3.00%
Cinnamon Oil .................... 4.50%
Lemongrass Oil ................. 4.50%
Clove Oil .......................... 5.00%
Thyme Oil ......................... 5.00%


Other Ingredients:
(Vanillin, Isopropyl Myristate) ... 78.00%

Has anyone tried this? I've been so hesitant to buy it because I don't know if it will work as well as the Frontline has. I love the all natural ingredients though. Whaddya think? Here's a link :

nope does not work
I have also made this very product myself for mosquitoes with those ingredients and used it on me several years back and it was USELESS!

I'm glad I asked, thanks Kim!

Interesting thread. I am glad you asked the question....I saw this recently and was wondering how effective it was.

If I put that on Dylan I would end up by eating him ( Add a little garlic perhaps )

I also remember someone posting about something similar (dogster maybe...? don't remember) and it actually burned the dogs coat.

I don't use flea/tick medication and use a natural spray for going out in bug populated areas (for both the dogs and us) that works surprisingly well. It's on the "products" section of this site: http://www.animalwellness.ca/

Amy, I've never had any faith in Sentry, so I asked my vet about that product at the end of the winter. I thought maybe the company had changed for the better. Anyway- Doc said, nope, my gut was right- don't trust it. Oh, btw, the other natural stuff Ed has- it stinks to high heaven! All I did was pick up the bottle to smell it, and by the time I got home I had a migraine. It took quite a few hand washings to get the smell off my hannds.

Frontline it is then!!

It was Fudge who ended up with very bad skin burns from me using it on him. I can't find the pictures I took where he has 3"+ circles on his back. It caused blisters and he lost his hair. Even when his hair came back in it was a different color. It did not burn Nutmeg or Achilles.

The company said there is a warning on the label that some dogs may have a reaction. I had to use a medicated shampoo from the vet to help with the burns. The company did pay me back.

We've started using motor oil on Laika

No, just kidding

Never heard of the 'things' in the first post, but does it actual work ?
