Formulated by Dr. Bob Goldstein, our Nature’s Protection™ Flea & Tick Herbal Spot-On for dogs is the natural alternative to topical flea & tick repellant treatments made with synthetic chemicals, insecticides, and pesticides. Spot-On is a natural blend of aromatic herbs and soothing essential oils. It’s fresh, minty fragrance protects the skin from biting fleas & ticks. The key ingredients in this effective Spot-On treatment are Peppermint, Virginia Cedarwood, and Almond Oil. The preventative power of these gentle oils are non-offensive to your dog, but repulsive to fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and other biting insects.
Our philosophy is simple and 40 years strong. We believe that dogs and cats should never
be the carriers of synthetic chemical insecticides or pesticides. Ever.
Mother Nature doesn’t use synthetic chemicals, and neither do we. So when it comes to protecting dogs and cats from mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks, our philosophy is simple: We believe they should never have to carry or consume synthetic insecticides and pesticides.
The key ingredients in these effective drops are Peppermint, Virginia Cedarwood and Almond Oil. The preventative power of these gentle oils are non-offensive to your dog, but repulsive to fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and other biting insects.
HOW TO USE
Snap the cap off the tip of the tube. Lift or spread the fur between the shoulder blades of the dog until you can spot the skin. Place the tube tip on the dog’s skin area and apply. Hold your dog briefly, allowing the liquids to absorb. Avoid bathing or swimming for 24 hours after application.
Apply once a month for continuous protection.
Our Herbal Spot-On is water resistant and will protect from the rain or swimming, but reapply after grooming.
Natures Protection™ Herbal Flea & Tick Spot-On will protect your dog from fleas but will not eliminate existing infestations. We encourage you to use our Nature’s Protection™ Herbal Topical Powder for infestations.
By considering the season and severity of fleas & ticks in your area, you can provide a seasonally-tailored approach that’s proven to protect all year long so they’re free to be Earth’s animals each and every day.
Dr. Bob Goldstein has carefully selected the three best natural ingredients, making these products effective and protective powerhouses. The special combination of Virginia Cedar, Peppermint and Almond Oil works well on repelling both fleas and ticks and is safe for animals, the environment and humans too!
Nature’s Protection products repel and are not absorbed into the blood stream. The scent of the combined oils of Cedarwood, Peppermint and Almond smell pleasant to humans but is loathed by fleas and ticks. Therefore, the bugs do not stay on the dog or cat long enough to bite the skin.
The oils used in the Nature’s Protection Collars and Spot-On adhere to the surface of the skin. The skin’s Sebaceous glands secrete an oily or waxy material, called sebum that helps to lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. The sebum and Almond Oil helps the flea and tick prevention oils spread out. Our scientific efficacy studies show that 12 out of 12 ticks fled from host due to the scent!
Definition: – cide Denoting a person or substance that kills. Example: “insecticide” Denoting an act of killing. Example: “homicide”
Yes. This is especially true with large dogs such as Great Danes, German Shepherds, and Labrador Retrievers. With the larger dogs it is a good idea to use both – for example, place the collar on the neck and place the drops on the spine or above the hips.Typically for infestation we advise Nature’s Protection Collar and Spot-On along with one of the Nature’s Protection Daily Internal Powders.
There are an estimated 899 species of ticks in the world, of which over 90 occur in the continental U.S. So, to have the best evaluation of our products without testing dozens of tick species, we chose 2 species that
are to our point of view representative of most of the species. Ticks from the Ixodidae family are the most common and often choose different hosts: some species need 2 hosts for their development (e.g. Rhipicephalus sanguineus, the brown dog tick), some others need 3 (e.g. Ixodes ricinus, the sheep ticks). We are using these two species, Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Ixodes ricinus, because they are representative of different host seeking behavior, but also because they have two different climatic requirements (dry for Rhipicephalus sanguineus and wet for Ixodes ricinus).
These two species are the most successful ticks: Rhipicephalus sanguineus is present all across the United States while Ixodes ricinus colonized most of European countries, Northern Africa, part of Middle East and is also heavily represented as the “Deer Tick” in Eastern United States. These 2 species are expanding their distribution range quite a bit though. By conducting our tests on these two species, we feel we cover all the tick species parasitizing pets but not the bird ticks.

Last year I had read about all the crazy stuff that is truly in those prescription flea preventions and decided to switch. We first tried the collar and while it seemed to do the job (no fleas) it irritated one of my dog’s skin (but the other two were fine). This stuff does seem to bother the dogs for the first few hours it is on, just as it is drying. Once it is dry I have not noticed the grease that the other review mentioned. This also isn’t irritating either dog’s skin, they just don’t seem to like the smell or feel or something during the few hours it is drying. I give them a no-hide and they are mostly fine with it. I use with the internal drops as I live in a very wooded area.

Created a huge grease spot on my dog and it seems to be irritating him. I put this on my dog a few hours ago and he’s still pacing non-stop and rolling on his back to “scratch” the application spot. It’s leaving grease spots all over our floors. Not super stoked.

Does your daily internal powder work alone? I sure spot on is helpful, but alone, does powder work?
