Customer Reviews
I bought this product in hopes for it to be a natural alternative to the chemical repellents on the market. We are all trying to "do our part" so I figured that I should give this a try. The first time I used it my Dad was visiting and was petting the cat, got some on his hand and immediately got a migraine headache with nausea and dizziness, so we washed the cat off immediately with soap and water as my dad went to bed to sleep off his HA. A few weeks later, being that it was still tick season we reapplied the medication. My cat ran downstairs and immediately I heard her growling and as I ran down to see what was wrong I noticed a thick mucus hanging from her mouth and she was very frightened and confused, so again, it was washed off and this time the remaining medication was thrown out.
In researching this medication, about 80% of reviews are identical to the signs and symptoms my cat experienced, the other 20% not having any s/s. Also in further research I found that the oils in this medication are actually toxic to cats causing kidney failure/complications, which is a very serious thing for older cats r/t their high incidence of kidney problems/failure. I did find some cases where humans had reactions such as nausea and headache do to the strong smell of the medication.
Do your homework before you purchase this "medication" as I wish I had done to avoid any harm on my cat and my Dad! Go with the common medications that your vet recommends, avoid this one at all costs.
This product is safe for dogs, less so for cats. Several of the ingredients can cause dermatitis or liver damage in cats, and overapplying to dogs is unnecessary and can cause some dogs temporary distress due to the intense smell which does begin to fade after several hours.
As far as people go, everyone in our family actually likes the smell (cinnamon, cummin, etc.) Our dog smelled like a giant cinnamon roll for about 12 hours, then the scent faded to near invisibility.
The main dispersal agent is a very safe ingredient commonly used in moisturizers and lotions for humans. If you apply this sparingly (about half of the recommended amount, which we have found to be overkill) two to three days after your dog's bath, you should find that fleas and ticks are nonexistent on your pet.
We used Frontline and Advantage for a few years, even though we have a chemist in the family who was greatly distressed over the toxic ingredients in those products - ESPECIALLY the 'inert' ones! Our dogs had gasping episodes, rashes and flaking, diarrhea, and other symptoms that are associated with long-term use of both products. Do your research! Dig deep - the parent companies don't want people to think of their products as 'pesticides', but highly toxic chemicals they are (not 'medicines' as Betty White refers to them on a commercial), and they in fact are absorbed through the skin and lungs by not only your pet, but by everyone in your home.
Four months after discontinuing those products, our dogs began to recover. We began using Nature's Guardian as an alternative, and found it to be more effective than the others! We live in an area full of fat and spunky deer ticks, and even Advantage and Frontine did not discourage them. Nature's Defense did.
The missing star in my review is for the overly large recommended dose- we use about a third of that and have full protection. Also, the scent is very strong, and may bother some dogs and people for a couple days.
What we do now is spinkle a drop of rosemary, peppermint, and lemon essential oils on our dogs' collars every two weeks, and rinse them with apple cidar vinegar after their baths. Also, a tiny dose of garlic twice a week (be careful - overuse of garlic can cause anemia in dogs) mixed into their food serves as an additional offense to keep fleas at bay. About every four weeks during spring and summer, we add a LIGHT touch of Nature's Defense to the mix.
Whatever you decide, please really do your homework before applying TopSpot, Frontline, or Advantage to your precious animal. They are far more dangerous than is let on to the general public. Long term toxicity studies are just beginning, and the early evidence is heartbreaking. I know that they seem effective, and are tempting because they require so little effort on the part of pet owners, but there are more effective and safer alternatives, if you are willing to take a few minutes every couple of weeks.
Cat owners - avoid Nature's Defense until they remove the ingredients that are toxic to cats. Or better yet, research non-toxic flea control for cats and mix your own.
