Ecovet chosen by PetMD!

At Eco‑Vet, we're dedicated to delivering sustainable, veterinarian‑endorsed solutions for equine care. Today, we’re proud to introduce our inaugural Best Natural Fly Spray Award: a recognition of the top-performing, eco‑friendly horse fly repellent on the market, judged by PetMD's veterinary panel and equestrian testers.

Why this Award Matters

PetMD’s roundup of “Vet Verified Fly Sprays and Accessories for Horses” emphasizes that the right fly spray—combined with management, masks, and protective gear—is key to horse health and comfort. In the spirit of that veterinary rigor, Eco‑Vet’s award spotlights truly green alternatives that deliver on both safety and performance.

🐎 Vet-Approved Criteria for the Award

Our panel assessed products based on:

  • Veterinary endorsement and scientific validation

  • Efficacy: duration of protection, pest species covered

  • Environmental footprint: pesticide‑free, non‑toxic ingredients

  • Gentleness: safe for sensitive skin, foals, and riders

  • Real‑world usability: how easy, comfortable, and clean‑smelling

And the Winner Is…

Eco-Vet Natural Fly Repellent (18 oz spray) — a vet-endorsed, fatty-acid–based formula that creates a behavioral “zone of repellency” without toxic pyrethrins or essential oils.


It excels in:

  • Repelling flies, gnats, mosquitoes, ticks, lice—and more

  • Delivering 8+ hours of continuous protection in field conditions

  • Being USDA/EPA‑approved, safe for both humans and horses alike

  • Demonstrating high user satisfaction:

    “Ecovet fly repellent is the best of the environmentally safe products… repels mosquitoes, gnats and other flying insects for 8 or more hours” 

Integrating Eco-Vet and PetMD Insights

To maximize fly protection:

  • Use Eco‑Vet spray as your main line of defense for chemical‑free, vetted repellency.

  • Implement integrated pest management: maintain clean stalls, eliminate stagnant water, and monitor manure and wet feed—echoing expert advice passed down from preventive strategies highlighted in both PetMD and equine‑care literature
