My dog had a terrible reaction to the product. I recommend you try a little first to test your pets reaction. No reaction like this from Frontline Plus. Yes, it was less expensive but in the end it ended up costing me nearly $90 for the vet and treatment to help relieve her suffering. Not a very good bargain.

I have a 130 pound Rottie and 85 pound Boxer/Bulldog and hav'nt seen a flea or tick sense I started using Bio-spot. I have used the over 60 pound treatment for over 3 years now and have'nt seen one flea or tick plus it repels mosquito's.Be sure to get the correct treatment for size of pet if pet is 31pnd. don't get the 16-30pnd. and expect it to work as well. I also make sure that fleas ar'nt breeding in my yard also, if you have a infestation in your yard or house of course your going to still see fleas on your pets. It may repel and kill them if they get on your pet but if dozens at a time are running up there leg's your bound to still see fleas on them. It works up to 4 weeks for me just like it advertises and only cost 16.99 for 6 months, can't be beat. My boxer is allergic to bites and Biospot has worked great. It has a citrus smell and has never irritated my pet's skin but I guess if any pet has sensitive skin you may have to do some research on all the topical brands. Maybe it don't work as well on some dog's but I'll never use anything else.

I know now why Bio-Spot is cheaper. It is much less effective and my 4 shelties have scratched every since I put it on them.

We live in Texas, where flea's live year round and just continue to multiply. we have great dane's and mastiffs, so I know how hard it is to find a product that does what you need it to, and won't kill your pocket book. Advantage is one of the best vet perscribed products on the market for flea's were frontline is the safest (most non-toxic). Bio-spot is more toxic than the other products, but it also works. so it may burn or sting some dog's when you put it on them. I have two dog's that are allergic to flea bites, they get one bite from a flea and just will chew of thier hair. for showing and breeding that's not acceptable. I use bio-spot once every 3-4 weeks and about a week before I apply a new coat I give them a capstar, (found at your local vet clinic, kills all flea's on dog instantly, but only works for about 24 hours.) In addition to treating my yard and house, this is the only thing that has kept them at bay. because it is more toxic, very sensitive skinned dog's may find this product too much. for smaller dog's that are inside most of the time, this may be a little more than they need.

Terrible Reaction!!!

Two days ago I used Bio Spot on my 1 year old English Bulldog. When I put the first few drops between her shoulders she took off running. Thinking that she was just being silly or didn't like the smell (it is VERY strong) I chased her down and put the rest on the base of her tail and between her shoulders. Within seconds she took off running around the house, spinning like crazy and squealing. I realized that it was BURNING her. I read the warning on the package and it said that serious reactions were possible since it was a pesticide. She is the toughest dog I have ever seen and to see her react like this was heart breaking. She finally got on the couch and curled up and went into a shock-like state. She laid there without moving except for shaking and labored breathing. She would then snap out of her shock and take off running again and then go back into shock. It was HORRIBLE! I tried to wash her and get as much off as I could but it didn't seem to help a lot. She did eventually calm down enough to sleep and was better in the morning although she was still lethargic and spinning around trying to lick her "wounds". Today she finally seems to be back to normal. After researching on the internet I have found countless other reactions like this including some where dogs lost hair and chunks of dead skin from the chemical burn. We are now going to try some natural methods to control ticks and fleas (not Sentry however because I have read of the same types of reactions with it). I know that this reaction does not occur in all dogs but PLEASE spot test your dog before using an entire application on them! I wish I had.
