DANGER!! READ REVIEW ABOUT OUR NIGHTMARE EXPERIENCE!!!
This stuff almost killed my dog! I applied it as stated. He only had a small number of fleas from playing in the field recently but I was worried about the eggs. So after reading reviews, I thought this was a more natural solution to those harsh chemicals that other sprays have. With in 10 minutes or so of application, he began to get sluggish and by a half hour later, his head was limp and he started convulsing!!!! We washed him immediately, once with Dawn and twice with just water. The damage was done. He went into severe seizures which came on for hours. We obviously took him to the vet and I brought the bottle with me. The vet said that this was not all natural and that the chemical that starts with an "E" that is listed as a main ingredient (I don't have the bottle any more and can't remember the name if the ingredient) is a neuro toxin that basically made his neurons misfire. Our dog could not walk, see and his hearing was off. We'd call to him from one side and he would look the other way if at all. As he slowly started to recover almost 20 hours later, he began to drink large amounts of water. We took that as a good sign. He slowly regained the use of his legs. Now he walks and runs with a bit of a sway to his back legs. We are convinced he has vision problems and hearing issues which are seemingly permanent. And he sleeps a lot now. He was vibrant and full of life before. We just anguish over this. I've cried so many times and prayed that he would make a full recovery. I thought I was doing the right thing by buying this. We are very careful in the food and treats we give him and what we use for grooming products. That's why Vets Best seemed like the right choice. It has now been almost exactly two weeks since our nightmare began. My little baby boy is probably forever changed. We love him no matter what but are so angry that this company (and Amazon allows it) tells you how wonderful and how safe this is but fails to pull this from it's product assortment even though many many more people have had this happen to their pets. I did some reading into this and the internet is full of horror stories like ours. I'm not saying that this will happen to your pet, but do you really want to risk it? I wish to God I had never bought this. My little Freddie boy would be whole and healthy still. I can't implore you enough to not buy this. The vet said to stick to the major name brands because they are rigorously tested to even human standards even though there is no official government agency that apptoves things like this. Because of that, there's so much that these companies can get away with. Thank you for reading this review and know that I am being 100% honest and open for no other reason than to tell Freddie's story and to maybe help someone else from making the mistake I did. Be well and be safe.
