I have purchased Bio spot for my 3 year old Pug.Before using this product I did not see any fleas on my dog however 3 days after using it he was doing nothing but chewing and bitting 24/7 so I gave him a bath and found atleast 3or4 fleas which I now cant get rid of,since your product did not work I am wondering if you may have any suggestions on how or what I can do to stop the chewing and bitting?

Over the counter flea and tick products are ineffective. They have also NOT been proven safe for all or most pets. Cases of toxicity associated with responsible use of BioSpot in dogs and cats have been reported. Using veterinarian approved products, especially in the case of animals with underlying systemic disease (apparent or not), is important. You haven’t saved money by buying the cheaper product after you pay a $2,000 emergency vet bill.
