You can do the top of their head you just have to spray your hands and carefully sweep in on. You have to avoid the face and wee- wee area for obvious reasons. This is where I get it....

It does have a strong cedar smell so be warned...You can spray your own legs when going in the woods and I also use it for around the house without having to worry about toxic chemicals around the dogs. So if you don't use it for the dogs it still has a use.
I tried another product called Triple Sure but it was useless. I took both bottles out and sprayed a couple of ants. The ant sprayed with the Cedacide was dead in a few seconds the ant sprayed with Triple Sure just cleaned off his antennas and kept it moving, so I returned it. |
I'm worried about cedar directly on dogs. I am planning to make my own spray. If it works, I'll be back to let everyone know. I have quite a bit of experience in mixing essential oils so I'm sure it will smell good too.
