| Bio spot...??? I'm looking for feedback from anyone that has used Bio Spot Flea & Tick Control. I have avoided using any chemicals on Garrett up to now. I use a shampoo with tea tree oil (Paul Mitchell for pets), and he has been pest free up until now. I've been housesitting for my in-laws and lo and behold - Garrett came in from their backyard this morning with tiny ticks on him. I bought an all natural spray from pet supermarket that I have applied. but i have to be prepared if its not effective. Sooooo, if any YTer have used Bio Spot with success, please let me know. Or feel free to recommend something else. Thank

| I used it one time and my Bichon have a very bad reaction to it. I had to take her to the vet and had to get shots to reverse the reaction. She has used frontline since then with no problem. I don't currently use anything on either of my dogs....I'm not going to put pesticides on them. |

YT 1000 Club Member | I bought it once trying to save money. It didn't work and ended up buying the more expensive stuff anyway. If you are concerned about an allergic reaction then the best thing would be to discuss alternatives with your vet. I had to take Roxie to the vet today for skin and hair problems. Trying to decide right now if it was from flea meds or allergies. If it's from the flea meds the vet said there are other things we can try. Haven't discussed what yet.

YT Addict | Bio-Spot is very dangerous. Please do not use it. It has been known to cause seizures and even death in small dogs.
