BioSpot

Has anyone ever used BioSpot for cats? I have used it for my dogs, works really good on ticks. But I haven't used it on cats. Just wondering if anyone has, and is it very effective on fleas?

I have no idea how my cats have fleas, they are all inside cats. Only thing I can think of is I or my husband carried them in or they were here when we moved into our house.

Anyway, I need an effective, yet economical treatment. But at the same time, don't want to use anything that will be harmful. I read just a couple of reviews on the net about Biospot and cats having siezures?

Thanks

 

I've never heard any good comments on Biospot - again it's probably you are getting what you pay for. The cheaper the product the less effective it's going to be and who knows what kind of danger.

I still think the ones you get from the vet are most reliable even if they do cost a couple of dollars more...I'd rather spend a bit more knowing I'm going to get something that works and is safe than save a couple of bucks and have to keep using it and wonder about the danger to my pet.

Just my 2 cents

 

I'm not completely familiar with Bio Spot. I'm not sure if it's the same product i'm thinking of, but if so then you can buy it at grocery and pet stores, right? When i worked in an animal shelter, we always used Frontline on the cats for flea control. Some pet stores will sell it in single doses if you can't affored a whole pack at once. Or you can buy Frontline at your Vet's office. Something like Frontline or Advantage should begin working noticeably within 24-48hrs. A lot of times vets will recommend alternating between brands so that fleas don't develop a resistance to the one type. My cat started out on Frontline at the shelter where i got her, but since she is mainly a house cat and only goes outside on a harness and leash with me, i don't give her chemical flea treatment every month. IMHO, the longterm exposure to these poisons can't be good. Instead, i keep her exposure to possibly catching fleas very limited and i give her garlic which also helps to repel fleas and other parasites and is good for her tummy. I don't rely on this totally, so i do Frontline her every 3-4 months since my husbands dog is outside frequently. The dog is Frontlined monthly and is a working dog, so belongs to the county, not technically ours. There are products out there that you can buy for animals flea and other insect control that are made only from aromatic herbs like Rosemary, Rue, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Lavender, Sage, and Thyme. These may not show the immediate results that the chemical treatment would, but the bugs will never develop a resitance to them either and probably safer long term, so I'd think they'd be better once the situation was under control. Hope i helped! Good luck

 

I know that onion is not good for kitties but not garlic. That's interesting.

 

i beleive they are in the same family, however i got this information for using garlic from a book on Natural health care for dogs and cats that was written by a vet. Also many of the better quality cat foods do contain garlic. I feed my cat Wellness dry food and it is an ingredient in there too. You can also buy garlic treats for dogs and cats.

 

I have used BioSpot and it is a WASTE of money.
