Natural pet treatments
An estimated 13 million dogs in the UK, pet treatments such as spot on tick and flea treatments containing neonicotinoids are harming the environment. These chemicals are banned in UK and EU agriculture.
UK government debates emergency use neonicotinoid ban in agriculture, while conglomerate vet practices, driven by profit continue to prescribe treatments.
Fipronil and imidacloprid are highly toxic pesticides that are no longer approved for use in outdoor agriculture; imidacloprid belongs to the notorious group of pesticides known as neonicotinoids. However, these chemicals continue to be widely used in pet flea treatments, typically applied to the back of the pet’s neck (known as spot-ons) once per month.
For the sake of your pet, your family and the environment - Switch to natural common sense treatments.

Barrier Natural Flea and Tick Spray
Barrier Flea and Tick Spray is the best natural flea and tick spray for dogs we have found! Tough enough to repel all blood sucking pests, the spray is also gentle enough to be applied to all dogs, including smaller breeds and puppies over 3 months old. We think it is especially good for keeping ticks at bay especially if you walk in areas where there are a lot of ticks.

polluting UK rivers
A study released Thursday 1 February, 2024 by researchers at the University of Sussex and Imperial College London has found that pet owners using flea treatment on their pets, risk contaminating their hands with toxic pesticides for at least 28 days after the treatment has been applied.
Highly toxic pesticides used in the flea products are then flowing down household drains when pet owners wash their hands. Wastewater from sewage treatment works is a major source of fipronil and imidacloprid pollution in rivers – with concentrations in rivers exceeding safe limits for wildlife.
