FAQs
Is this product safe for puppies and kittens?
While the ingredients are natural, it is always recommended to consult your veterinarian before applying any topical products to very young animals.
Does this replace monthly chemical flea treatments?
This is a natural repellent, not a systemic pesticide. It is designed to be a worry-free alternative, but you should monitor your pet's needs and consult your vet regarding your specific pest control strategy.
Can I use this on my own skin?
This product is specifically formulated for pet use; it is not intended for human application.
Will this product stain my carpet or couch?
The formula is designed to be non-staining, but it is always good practice to test a small, inconspicuous area if you are applying it to delicate fabrics.
How often should I reapply?
For best results, reapply every two to three days, or immediately after your pet gets wet from swimming, bathing, or rain.
Troubleshooting
Pet seems bothered by the spray application.
Avoid spraying the face directly; instead, spray the product into your hands and gently rub it onto the pet's ears and neck area.
Pests are still appearing on the pet.
Ensure you are reapplying every two to three days and verify that you are coating the legs and underbelly thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the product is straightforward: simply shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the essential oils are properly mixed. Spray the formula generously over the pet's coat, using your hand to rub it in if necessary. Always exercise caution and avoid spraying directly into the eyes, nose, or mouth. If your pet has sensitive skin, perform a small patch test first. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the natural oils. Because the formula is plant-based, it is compatible with most pets, but consult your veterinarian if your pet has a history of severe allergies to essential oils.
