Product Description

You know those evenings when your pet flings itself on the couch, clearly itching and miserable after a day outdoors? Cedarcide Vet’s Choice Flea + Tick Dip Concentrate (Gallon) was built for moments exactly like that; when you just want one safe, effective solution that cares for your dog’s, cat’s, horse’s, or cow’s skin without harsh chemicals. This isn’t just any insect dip; it’s a natural, cedarwood-based concentrate formulated by chemists and entomologists to kill and repel fleas, ticks, mites, ants, mosquitoes, and more. All while nurturing your animals’ skin and coat.

 

When you mix a little bit with water, about 1–2 oz per gallon. it transforms into a powerful bath, dip, or spray. (Think of it like giving your dog a cedar-scented spa day that doubles as bug protection.) For livestock, it’s that go-to formula you trust after a long day in the field. Customers often tell me they sprinkle it into their barn’s rinse trough so every animal walks away not only cleaner but also flea-free and relaxed.

What sets this apart? The active ingredient is 100% pure Texas cedarwood oil, never exposed to pesticides, with no parabens or synthetic residues. That cedar scent isn’t just nostalgic; it actively repels bugs and soothes irritated skin. One customer shared that after switching from harsh chemical dips, their itchy mare saw a noticeable drop in scratching within two uses and she loved the fresh “cedar chest” aroma that lingered.

Let me give you a little picture: imagine coaxing your lazy lab into a shallow basin, adding the dilute mixture, and gently massaging it through her coat. You see fleas floating to the surface, and within minutes there’s visible relief. No fuss, no trauma. Then you rinse and towel-dry, and she struts off, smelling like warm cedar and scratching-free. That’s the kind of caring elegance this dip brings; natural, effective, and gentle.

How to Use

1. Choose How You’ll Apply It

• Bath/Dip: Great for dogs, cats, horses, and livestock; especially if they’re itchy or you want deeper treatment.
• Spray: Perfect for outdoor areas like kennels, barns, patios, or lawns. Dilute and mist surfaces to keep pests at bay.
• Rinse Trough: A favorite among livestock owners; just pour the diluted mix into troughs so animals walk through it safely.

2. Mix the Dilution

As recommended by Cedarcide, stir 1–2 oz of concentrate per gallon of water (that’s about a shot glass or two)

• Easy tip: For a 5-gallon bucket, just add 5–10 oz.
• If using a spray bottle, ¼ to ½ oz per quart works well.

3. Application Steps for a Bath/Dip

1. Fill a tub or bucket with the right water amount and stir in your mix.
2. Gently place your pet in; support them if needed.
3. Massage coat from neck to tail so it penetrates the skin.
4. Leave it on for 3–5 minutes; plenty of time for the cedar oil to work.
5. Rinse well with clean water and dry thoroughly.

4. Spraying Areas or Outdoor Use

• Use morning or evening for best results and to avoid disrupting pollinators.
• Spray evenly; whether it’s kennel walls, barn stalls, patios, or lawn edges.
• For first treatment of the season, apply twice two weeks apart; then monthly through the bug months.

5. Frequency

• Deep Pest Problems (mange, heavy infestation): Twice weekly until the issue eases.
• Routine Prevention: Monthly baths, dips, or sprays keep animals and spaces protected.
• Tip: After rain or heavy sprays, reapply; cedar oils aren’t washed away like synthetic ones but strength may fade.

Safety & Best Practices

• Always patch-test if it’s your pet’s first use.
• This formula is approved by EPA as a “minimum risk pesticide”; so it’s non-toxic and family-safe.
• Natural cedar oil has no harmful chemical residue; it’s safe for pets, kids, and the environment.
• Store it in a cool, dry spot out of direct sunshine.
• Avoid spraying sensitive areas like eyes, mouth, or open wounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this safe for pets and my family?

Absolutely. Cedarcide uses 100% natural cedarwood oil, so it’s classified as a “minimum risk pesticide” under EPA 25(b) regulations; non-toxic to humans and animals when used properly. That means kids and pets can return to treated areas right away, no need to wait or worry.

Q: Can I use it on small or young pets?

Yes, dogs and cats over 5 lbs are typically fine. Some users do use it on toy breeds with a vet’s okay. One tool user even noted success with kittens and puppies, though professional advice is always a smart check.

Q: How often should I treat?

• Heavy infestations (think mange or visible flea swarms): dip or bathe twice weekly until things calm down.
• Maintenance mode for pets and spaces: once a month generally does the trick.
• Outdoor areas: spray twice, two weeks apart for the initial season treatment, then hit it monthly through bug season.

Pro tips:

• Reapply after heavy rain or hosing.
• Spray early or late in the day to avoid disturbing bees and butterflies.

Q: Will this stain decks, fabrics, or stalls?

Nope. Being oil-based, it rinses off decks and stalls cleanly. Just let it dry first and wipe up any drips. On fabrics or non-washable items, spot test first, but most users report zero staining issues.

Q: My pet licked their coat after the dip, any risk?

Cedar oil is considered safe if ingested in normal amounts, but licking a heavily treated coat might cause mild stomach upset in sensitive animals. Best practice: rinse and towel dry well, then feed as usual. If your dog shows vomiting or diarrhea after accidental ingestion, call your vet; better safe than sorry.

Q: Can I use it on horses, livestock, or poultry?

Absolutely. Customers commonly pour diluted dip into livestock rinse troughs so animals bathe while they drink. It’s also regularly used on horses, cattle, and goats to control ticks, flies, and mites.

Q: How does cedar oil actually kill pests?

Great question! Cedarwood oil attacks pests in six key ways:

1. Suffocating bug respiratory systems
2. Dehydrating them
3. Breaking down egg casings
4. Disorienting and deterring
5. Repelling them before they land
6. Disrupting breeding cycles: That’s why it works on everything from fleas and ticks to flies, ants, mites, chiggers, and even scorpions.
