Vet’s Best Indoor Flea and Tick Spray – Dog Flea and Tick Treatment for Home, Plant-Based Formula with Natural Oils, Kills Fleas, Eggs & Ticks on Contact, Made in USA, 32 oz

I have NEVER written a review before. This past month and a half of dealing with a severe flea infestation has been one of the most challenging times I've ever experienced. I have spent so much money and tossed out so many things. I feel like we all need a support group. Did Vets Best totally fix my issue, no, but did it help immensely, speed the process up, and help with my state of mind? Sure did!Side note: HOW is there no easy way in the year 2023 to get rid of fleas?!?I don't want to get my hopes up too much that I am completely rid of Fleas, but I think I am for sure on somewhat of the other side of it. What I found most helpful during this process was reading everyone else's experiences, so I'll share mine in the hopes it helps at least one other person.My indoor (never outdoor, untreated) cat had been leaving this blackish dirt everywhere. I really had no idea what it was, I usually have my windows and screen door open and there was a lot of construction around my apartment, silly me just figured it was that...Well, I was scrolling through TikTok one night, and this woman is talking about how she noticed 'flea dirt' on her foster kitten, at that moment, everything just clicked into place for me. I checked my poor cat out, and sure enough I saw the little buggers. The next morning I woke up and my life has not been the same.Called the vet and they couldn't get him in for a few days (because of course), so I attempted a flea bath, but nothing is going to work until you treat the animal and start seriously treating your house. I have been vacuuming every single day, twice a day. I start with my big vacuum going around each and every wall of the house with the hose, and then I do a big vacuum. I then send the Roomba around. I did ultimately decide to toss my rugs, which some say was an overreaction, but anyone who is deep in the middle of this I think can understand. I vacuum the couch every other day. I did lay a sheet down over it, so the cat would have less contact.It took me about a week to start using the spray. At first, I bought WONDERSIDE, which I really liked the smell of the Cedarwood, however, that spray is VERY expensive and when I sprayed the floor, it left a film over it. I did spray Wondercide on my cat, but I don't really know how much that helped. As I was bleeding money, I was looking for a cheaper alternative, and I started using VETS BEST. I actually like spraying this on my couch and floors better. I've even used it in my car as a percussion. I have not sprayed VETS BEST directly on my cat. The smell is Spearmint, it's truly not super overpowering, lingers for a bit, and then dies down pretty quickly. And honestly, I would rather smell spearmint for 5 mins then have fleas running wild.Again, I cannot directly know for sure if this has done anything more than give me a little peace of mind, but let's put it this way, I just placed my 4th order.So, what would I say to someone just starting this terrible journey?1. Treat your animal. My indoor cat will never be off flea meds for the rest of his life. I never want to go through this again.2. Start vacuuming daily, and if you have a roomba, send that around too. Empty the vacuum OUTSIDE every time. It's also a good way to check your progress.3. Brush your pet daily. I had a bowl of hot water with Dawn Dish Soap so they would die a hot soapy death.4. Wash bedding every other day at least. (This has been the hardest, as I live in an apartment and have to pay for laundry, but you HAVE to do it)5. Spray VETS BEST around the house every few days and then don't vacuum to let it sit.6. If you can get rid of your rugs, I would...truly whatever gives your peace of mind, that's important.7. CapStar! You can get it from your vet or way cheaper on Chewy. I wish I had known about this pill sooner.8. I spoke with exterminators, and they said that they can come 'treat' the house, but given the life cycle of fleas, they'll have to come back again. Really the only thing you can do is vacuum.I like to think that over a month in a half in, I am almost on the other side and now am just maintaining to keep the next cycle at bay. But I cannot recommend this product enough.Good. Luck.

Even though we treat our dog every month, as the weather warmed up this spring we were seeing more and more fleas around the house and on the dog. He was miserable. We tried bathing several times a week on top of the monthly flea treatment, but there was no improvement. We applied this spray (not even as liberally as the instructions recommend) and within an hour there was not a single flea visible on him. Our dog was also finally able to really fall asleep without anything biting him. The smell is strong as it's applied, but doesn't linger. I'm HIGHLY sensitive to smells so I was very worried about that aspect, but it hasn't been a problem.I recommend using it every 48 hours for several days to continue to kill fleas at all stages.

It doesn't seem to kill the fleas; they just don't like it and jump off the dogs. I have to keep repeating the process, but don't repeat for at least 48 hours like the instruction have warned. Eugenol can be unhealthy if administered to often and in excess. (Eugenol is made from Cloves, my favorite aroma) The dogs which I have five, don't seem to mind being sprayed with the product. I have one dog who is prone to seizures, so I won't spray her, but the other dogs have tolerated the spray very well. I don' mind spraying them two or three times per week if it at least helps with their suffering and its not toxic to them. I just couldn't give them a 5, but I will still use the product.

I got this because we found out we had fleas in the backyard and with us just getting a new puppy i was nervous with her being fleas inside the house , I wanna say it works! I haven’t seen any flea active, I’ll spray some down anytime I clean the rooms with carpet, it does leave a potent smell of peppermint, I have a sensitive nose so it’s kinda strong for me, I usually spray and leave the house for a bit , and it also helps with other bugs too , we had a wasp in our house one day and my husband got this out and spray him and it worked!!!

Doesn’t keep cats and dogs from fleas. We’ve never had a flea problem in our home but we like to be cautious so we figured we would give this a try. One note it really stinks so I recommend to treat your home and leave for a few hours.

We were battling fleas in our home, which is very frustrating. We tried everything! I had gotten to then point of removing our furniture, then we found this product. We sprayed it everyday. We vacuumed and even shampooed our carpet and had our furniture cleaned. It worked very well. We still spray it a few times a week just to be sure but otherwise this is a great product and I love the smell of peppermint! Also, it didn't damage anything that it came in contact with.
