Absorbine UltraShield Green All-Natural Fly Spray for Horses & Dogs, Essential Botanical Oil Eco-Safe Formula Repels & Controls Ticks, Flies, Mosquitoes, Gnats, 128oz Gallon Refill

The only issue was that the box was sent without a lid. That doesn’t help with the storage.

This product is awesome when outdoors camping, hiking or doing what ever you love with your furry people and the bugs are out. Just spray a line from their head down their backs to their tail and rub in and their good. No scent. Not oily.

I had been using this fly spray for years. I ordered this new bottle, sprayed the horses as usual, and within a few minutes huge welts and hives started to appear on both horses. They spread and got worse and worse. Got an amazingly quick emergency vist from my equine vet practice, and reactionsresponded to IV steroids and oral banamine. Vet narrowed down cause to the new bottle of fly spray. Said they have seen this happen with both this brand and one other brand of natural fly repellants. and it seemed to be related to inconsistencies in the contents of batches of the stuff. She said to notify Absorbine with the batch info from the bottle, but I got back no acknowledgment. I am not ever using this product again. It is too great a risk to take. What if vet had not been so quickly available, or it had been inhaled and caused respiratory distress?

I Purchased this because it was Eco-Safe and from a company I have experience with. I've used the Ultra Shield EX, but have been concerned about using EX on young foals, so I decided to give this a try. I sprayed a good coat on one of my older horses. Started one the left side and by the time I was finished with the right side, the flies were on her left side again. I sprayed directly on several flies on her legs and they just flew off her leg only to return seconds later. Absorbine has a great product in the Ultra Shield EX, but this Green just doesn't work. --Update... There comes a time when you find a great company and stick with it. I wrote the above review and stand by it. Absorbine also stands by their products. After posting my review I was contacted by Absorbine and offered a full refund. As I said in the review above, I've used their Ultra Shield EX product and it works extremely well for me. I'm raising the review to 3 stars for the customer service, who went out of their way to make it right. VERY RARE. If they develop an improved formula for the Green I will try it again, but until then I see many gallons of EX in the future.

Meh. Doesn't last but a couple of hours. (At least around this area) Makes an excellent base though, for the addition of different and extra oils. Then the mixture lasts a few hours. I've found over the years however, that natural products, no matter the brand or formulation, need to be applied more frequently than the toxic ones. Don't think that your horse is safe from the toxic insect repellents if they're only sprayed lightly on the hair instead of being wiped on and soaking the skin. Hair will wick product down to skin eventually but in lesser amounts, of course. Luckily our couple of horses live on the property so it's convenient to spray at least a couple of times a day. If you don't live with your horse, I can see using the, big guns (my term) fly sprays because your horse's comfort comes first.

When I first looked at this product, there weren't many reviews, in fact there were only 5. And they were all 5 star. But it was all natural and the product I've used for years was not. I have a horse with heaves and the old fly spray made him cough worse and at the end of the day, he had flies all over him. So I put my skepticism aside and ordered. Holy Moly am I ever glad I did! Gunny does not cough or mind me spraying his face, NO FLIES on him, AND HE SMELLS SO GOOD!!! Keep in mind that when you spray it, you have to shake it often-I use a clear spray bottle. 5 stars aren't enough!!!
