I hope that this honest review of Woof Creek Flea + Tick powder and Flea + Tick Defense spray, will help a few pup owners who are completely distressed by fleas, as we were. We live in a warm climate & became infested with fleas very quickly! We have a five year old, English Cocker Spaniel. We had also brought home a 12 week old Springer Spaniel who was highly allergic to fleas. Our new pup started losing his fur due to flea allergies. I searched out, and also purchased MANY, MANY holistic flea products. I even made my own organic flea repel sprays from "proven" recipes. "Nothing" helped us! The fleas continued to grow in number, and my pups became more miserable! I found myself hand picking fleas several times daily, and I was becoming quite frustrated. My process: I decided on ONE single dose of the "nasty" chemical laden Advantage product, as a means to rid my home and dogs of the flea infestation. (Search: Dr Judy Morgan for the "top five" chemical flea products-- to avoid using, at all cost). I chose one single dose of Advantage for each dog that was "JUST UNDER" their actual size and weight. This smaller dose ( for each dog ) did kill the fleas on the dogs and inside of my home for three weeks. During the third week, I started my dogs on a more holistic process of using the Woof Creek Flea + Tick Defense powder in my dogs morning meals each day. I also sprayed the backs of my dogs legs with Woof Creek's Flea + Tick Defense, before our morning & evening walks. I started ( and am still using ) the Tickless flea tags as well ( I do not know if they work ). I also ordered a pet vacuum, as an aid to rid my dogs of fleas after walks. We were then able to gain control over the fleas!!! We ( and the dogs ) began to relax over the past three + months. In time, my Spaniel's fur began to grow back ( three months later, he once again, has a beautiful full coat ). I should mention that our walks are no longer in areas where there are as many fleas ( do your research on where fleas like to hang out ). As of late, I started giving Flea + Tick powder in the food every other day ( as I am still a bit hesitant about giving my dogs Neem each day ). We were still doing well--ish against the fleas, but more recently, I have slacked off on adding the the powder to my dogs food even more, and had also run out of my Flea + Tick defense spray. . . I am now noticing that the fleas are quite rapidly increasing in number. I just placed my second order for the flea + Tick powder, and also the Flea defense spray with Woof Creek. I am very thankful that these flea products were developed by Woof Creek!! This being said---I found that the powder product took quite a while to fully kick in, at least three weeks, so give it plenty of time to work for your dog.
I am also finding that even when given each day, the Woof Creek products do not keep ALL fleas off of "my" dogs. We still come home with none to a few fleas, on both dogs after walks. I use my Amazon, 89.00 "Home run pet vacuum" after each walk, to flush out any fleas, onto my dogs belly area. From there, I can easily pick them off & deposit them directly into the vacuum hose.
Note: we only used the "Advantage" product one time---three months ago, in effort to rid our home and dogs of the flea infestation. Since this time, I have used the above, Holistic process for my pups. To anyone reading this, you can do it!! You "can" get a handle on your dogs fleas without the monthly chemical doses, that could greatly harm or even kill your pet. Good luck with your own process!! My family owes a huge thank you, and shout out to Woof Creek! Woof, Woof, Thank you so very much for your flea products!!!
