Re: Biospot (was: Frontline)

It took weeks to clear up. I have heard this happening on many other dogs who have had this applied. I'm guessing there is something in the carrier that is extremely harsh and irritating. When I apply Revolution (Heartworm preventative, flea killer, wormer, miticide) the dogs take no notice at all. When I applied the Biospot, they ran around the house/yard, rubbed their backs on the floor and generally appeared distressed - This from my usually stoic Rott as well as the normally blase Flash!! Then they got rashes, lost hair in the application site, developed small blisters/sores. I won't use it, won't recommend it.

Frontline/Biospot
Reposted in plain text :-(. Please don't strangle me Pat !!! Thanks for all the responses ! WOW ! There are too many to respond to individually , LOL ! I've gotten a wide range of opinions , which I expected (including bad reactions) and I think I'll stick with the Frontline for now :-). I was initially looking at the Biospot because of the price. Luckily , I don't have a flea "problem" , but need to keep dogs covered during the summer months. Again , thanks to all who responed , Laurie Montoya w/ Hannah , Shelby the Wonder Mutt , and a "guest"

Ang: Re: Frontline/BIOSPOT
Hi, I used Biospot 2 summers ago to my Vincent. I called Bayers in Sweden and they did not like to tell me what Biospot contains of, it was a secret. They said, maybe ecalyptus - but no real answer. I saw ads - how natural Biospot would be. Biospot didn´t work and it also hurt the skin. Meaning I just used it once and not again. Think I will try garlic this summer. Margareta Strand Stockholm I was looking into a product called " Biospot " that I saw in the Drs Foster and Smith catalogue. It's supposed to kill fleas, ticks AND mosquitos. Well, maybe they mean repellent in the case of the mosquitos. Has anyone used this to any effect ?? It's also a LOT more affordable than Frontline. I always use Frontline , and haven't seen a flea in years. On the tick side of things , I've been lucky with the dogs. Lyme is a BIG concern in my area. I've had it and wouldn't wish it on a dog :-(. Any opinions on this brand , Biospot ???Thanks !! Laurie Montoya S. Central PA.
