We understand you. Sorry for this experience.


Unfortunately, in some areas fleas and ticks become resistant to any treatment. Especially when there are a lot of low quality products with low concentrations of essential oils.


We are always working on improved formula.


IMPORTANT: maximum results are achieved by not only treating the pet but also its environment like the house and the yard.


So they want you to treat your yard and apparently anywhere you take your dog too?
