CSJ Billy No Mates – A Natural Herb Mix to Effectively Repel Fleas, Ticks & Mites | 325g

This is very hard to review as you can't measure the effectiveness of it very easily as you would have to know if your dog has been attacked by fleas and the product has successfully repelled them. As only 1 in 10 dogs have fleas it may simply be that they have not come into contact with them. However what I can say is i've been using the product for 6 weeks and Erik 9 month old Cockapoo has no problem eating it although I do feed him a completely raw diet which I imagine is very easy to disguise the taste of the herbs etc. Initially at the beginning he did scratch/bite more particularly his back leg that has now stopped. His coat is looking good but that could be the raw food diet, the Mucky Mutt soap (has Neame oil ingredient) or that his coat is filling out after the last owner shaved the poor little thing down to his skin nearly, I got him 2 months ago. What I will say if its working then i'm very pleased because I am seriously allergic to the spot on type products and get serious and painful dermatitis on my hands caused by the main ingredient Fipronil, I only discovered this after our 15 year old cat died and my hands cleared up completely, we used the spot on regularly with him and even the skin specialist couldn't identify the problem after extensive tests. It was only after talking with the Pets at Home shop manager about treatments for the dog we discovered what the chemical was and what it could cause if you were sensitive to the chemical (I used rubber gloves when applying). The other alternative is a prescribed pill treatment that kills fleas rather than repels but that is a lot more expensive and I would prefer to avoid chemical treatment for the dogs benefit. So far so good with Billy No Mates and Erik is the type of dog that is very sociable with other dogs, loves long grass etc so may be more at risk from fleas and ticks I don't really know for sure but I will update this review late Autumn if he stays clear or earlier if he doesn't, I haven't missed one treatment yet so if he does have a problem ill know its not an effective repellent rather than me being careless. If it does work then it is probably the cheapest solution on the market as I think one tub should easily last a year. Update Oct 2015 No fleas and the dog is fine with Billy No Mates and I still have plenty left so I would highly recommend it works out a lot cheaper than other treatments as well especially the spot on type i'm allergic too.

Great product. My dogs run in deer woods & through bracken every day. This whole season, they’ve had no ticks at all. And it’s a chemical free natural product.

This product hasn't arrived yet. I believe that is Royal Mail's fault not the seller. Our dog has been on this for about 6 years and I highly recommend it to dog lovers who want to give their dogs natural products. We mix it wirh water, and she enjoys it like another course with her dinner.

I've been giving this to my black lab since she was 3 months old, she's nearly 18 months old now. She has it with her breakfast, eats it, has had no fleas or ticks- we walk in woodland and fields with long grasses. She loves a swim- so it feels good to know nothing on her skin is harming small aquatic creatures (like normal flea treatments do). I think it's great value for money. I does have a herby smell, but it doesn't put B off eating it!

With recent publicity of the damage done to the environment and more importantly our pets by overuse of chemical pest repellent now is the perfect time to switch to Billy No Mates. I have used it for years and it really works.

I have been using this for small dogs and one large breed they except it no bother mixed in with their food I did note other reviewers commented on stick type bits in it yes seems to be quite a few one just has to check for them and lift them out, aroma pleasant enough with a hint of curry. To early to say if it is working hve'nt used it for long enough.

I wanted to change my dogs flea management routine of veterinary prescribed treatment to a natural approach. I have been putting off buying Billy No Mates for a while purely because I have 3 dogs and thought that they wouldn't like the added herbs to their meals. How wrong was I! They love it! This product is well packaged and seems good quality. I followed the recommended way to initially start adding the herbs with some salmon oil and a small amount of water for the herbs to stick to, plus a few pieced of the usual meal. Each bowl was licked clean, to my surprise they seem to very much enjoy the taste. The smell to me isn't appetitive, as I can detect the smell of neem which has a bitter undertone. However, the dogs are not put off at all. The bag (325g) will last me for one month, between 2 Border Collies (20kg and under) and 1 Jack Russell (5kg). Although I have only been giving this to my dogs for under a week, my dogs appear to be scratching less often and seem more relaxed. I would recommend that anyone considering using this natural approach to flea management for their dog, to give Billy No Mates a try. I will be getting more at a later date as it might take several weeks for best results.

Good value, service good. Only been using a few weeks, so far no problem with fleas/ticks. Easy to use, no side effects, dog not keen to eat,

Ich gebe es meinem Hund über Jahre.

Buen repelente natural. Hay que empezar a usarlo antes de que comience la primavera porque tarda 6 semanas en entrar en el sistema del perro.

Bom produto natural
