Aside from the fact that it was hard to apply (I wish it was in a spray version), It was just horrible. It attracted more flies and my dog was literally covered in flies after I applied this. What a waste of money.
I love this medication because it works!!!!! Its healing the fly bites and keeping the flys away from my baby's neck and face, the only problem I can find is my "baby" is a horse, and the "jars" of this product is way too small. I'm buying 3 jars at one time and next time need much more. But it works much better than any spray I've used and its a great product, so if you have horses getting eaten alive by fly bites, BUY THIS PRODUCT, IT WORKS!
I have 2 out door dogs in SC and the fly problem was bad. This product did the trick instantly! My dogs would recommend flys-off to any dog suffering from these blood sucking critters! If you want to save your pet from the pain and irritation of flys-off is the Key!
Fly off product review: There is no tougher time of year for external parasite exposure for dogs and horses who spend much time outside, than the warmer summer/early fall months. Not only are fleas and ticks abundant, but with the recent moister weather in many areas of the country, we are seeing a huge increase in fly exposure and what is called fly strike or secondary fly bite skin lesions in both dogs and horses. Not only can these pesky critters cause and/or aggravate topical skin wounds, but the more serious health risks to these animals involves the laying of eggs, which can turn into infectious larvae called maggots, which can lead to worsening infection and even death in some animals if they grow to huge numbers. That is why it is so important in those dogs and horses exposed to flies to use such a product to help kill and repell the flies.. For my canine patients this is especially important to apply around the ear tips where flies like to bite and/or sometimes lay eggs. It is also important for animal guardians to be aware of those long hair breeds who sometimes collect stool in the long hair on the rear, which is why it is critical to check these areas regularly in those pets housed or who spend much time outside. Using the fly off product in such areas can again help with preventing maggot infestation. The manufacturer has been around for decades and this product certainly has a proven track record. I give this product an overall rating of a 5 with an ease of use of a 5 as well.
I would like to know if this product is safe around the horses eyes before I purchase this product.

A:
I have a horse that the flys love to bite his face and neck. It's difficult to put on his face, he doesn't like it but I'm the boss and put it on his nose, around his eyes, jaws, and down his neck. It works they dont land on his eyes anymore and get in them. I've seen no problems.
