Overview

This bug repellent spray utilizes a blend of essential oils, including cedarwood, geranium, rosemary, and thyme, which are traditionally known for their insect-repelling properties. While these oils may offer some level of protection against certain insects, the overall effectiveness relies on anecdotal evidence and traditional uses rather than conclusive scientific studies specifically focused on canine application. The product's efficacy can vary significantly based on the type of insect, the dog's coat, and environmental factors such as humidity and geographical location.

Contains natural essential oils

Easy to apply spray

The Bad
