I was looking for an alternative flea and tick repellent and we’re trying this item. We’re taking it very slowly because my pups are very sensitive and get a itchy bum quickly, they are small pups 8lbs and 15lbs and so far so good, I add the mix to their food and they don’t mind eating it at all, I’m really looking forward to seeing if this will help keep bugs away, we live in New York so it’s cold and winter here now so it’s ideal time for us to slowly build up to the full dose. I rather support a small holistic company than Zoetis.
