Flea Solutions


Our business has been running since 2003 and since then we have been looking for a safe, natural and effective solution to fleas. We have tried a number of products and had some success but not something that we can get super excited about using and recommending. When we came across the NeemPet range we had an excited expectation that we might have found what we have been looking for.

I own 3 pets, 2 Jack Russells and a black Burmese x. We have been struggling with a flea problem for a while and just couldn't seem to eradicate the problem. We have been doing everything we know of to help with the problem, but would not consider opting back to the dangerous toxic flea treatments that are commonly used. We feed a raw diet, do not use any chemicals on our pets or in their environment, we have been giving extra supplements to food to help boost their immune system and help fight the nasty pets off from the inside, we have used diatomaceous earth through the house and yard, we have been washing weekly and vacuuming multiple times a week. Still the problem persisted. One of our dogs was also scratching and biting so much that his skin was looking red raw and he was losing hair.

Then things got worse with the weeks of rain we had last year followed by the floods - we had such bad fleas that they started biting my husband as well. He had had enough and I was getting desperate. Having an eco friendly, all natural and organic business we needed to be able to offer our customer a solution to this nasty problem that i not just a problem to pets but also to the owners who have to put up with constant scratching and uncomfortable pets.

The claims from Neempet were pretty impressive and the testimonials I read made me get a little more excited. Could this really work?

We decided to place an order and stocked up on these products in store. I took some home and immediately washed my dogs in the NeemPet soap. It smelt great and I could see the fleas were dead on contact - this stuff was really working like it said. After the bath the dogs coat was so unbelievably soft and felt so clean. It also had no lingering doggy smell that is often there after the bath. Then on the recommendation of Neempet, we sprayed the pets with the NeemPet Pet & Equine Spray daily to begin with (in times of high infestation). Then it was only used once a week, or when we noticed any fleas.

The outcome?? The pets have all stopped scratching, there are no fleas biting my husband, our dog who had the red itchy skin now has soft skin that looks normal and healthy. We have had the range in our stores for about 3 weeks now and had sold out within the first week!! This i a great product that REALLY works.

I have no hesitation in recommending the NeemPet Range of products. They work not only on pets riddled with fleas, but also on those who have skin issues and allergies. Do yourself a favour and stop using toxic chemicals on your pets and change to a product that works and is SAFE!
If your dog has a skin irritation - try their skin solution for fantastic results!
