Does anyone have any experience using skin-so-soft for fleas?

A week ago I asked about garlic for dogs to help with fleas. Thank you all for your responses on that question.





I got to thinking about when I was younger and remembered about skin-so-soft. I remember it being effective against many different kinds of bugs and was wondering if anyone has ever tried it on dogs for fleas?





Skin-so-soft is cheaper then buying frontline or any of the topical flea treatments and with money being tight, skin-so-soft is soemthing we can fit into our budget at this time.

My mom used Skin-so-soft on her cats and it worked pretty well. They REALLY hated it, though. I remember I sprayed some on my legs after a bath when I was visiting herand when I walked past one of the cats she got all p!ssed off. I'm like, "Mom, what the hell's wrong with your cat??" We couldn't figure it out at first, then we realized it must have been because I smelled like the skin-so-soft. Lol.
Reply:Its only good for mosquitoes. Get frontline, its worth the expense when you consider the fleas getting out of control. Flea bombs are expensive too. And to really clean them up you need to repeat in 10 days. So you really should consider frontline its so easy and once a month. Good Luck!
Reply:Haven't heard about using Avon on dogs, but have heard that Neem Oil will keep fleas away. (sold at health food stores)





There are other varieties of flea/tick that are cheaper (Top Spot, Hartz, etc.) Don't know how good they are though.
Reply:Skin so soft is great for repelling mosquitoes and fly's but I have never heard of it also for fleas.





I would not thrust it for that purpose.
Reply:It helps some but even diluted you end up with oily coats that attract dirt.The solid skin so soft did not work for me.They sure smelled good though
Reply:You're right not to trust store-bought products, let me tell you.





I want to you to factor this in to your equations - only veterinary treatments work, that's why they charge more for them. Like everything, you get what you pay for. Of course skin-so-soft is cheaper than Frontline - would Frontline even exist if skin-so-soft killed fleas?!





The last lady I met who went down the money-saver route for fleas had a £140 bill to save her cat from poisoning. Worth thinking about.





I'd love for anyone to try to explain how skin-so-soft is supposed to kill fleas!!
