"EcoVet is the absolute best fly spray I've ever used! It provides unbeatable protection against flies, mosquitoes, and gnats, keeping my horses comfortable even in the worst conditions. Unlike other sprays, it actually lasts and doesn’t require constant reapplication. Plus, our team love that it’s a safer, non-toxic option. We won’t use anything else—EcoVet is a game-changer!"- Ryan Wood

"Ecovet is the only fly repellent I trust to keep my high performance Para Dressage horses comfortable and focused on the task at hand! My previous horse Alle was SO sensitive to flies that he was ALWAYS sure he had bugs on him... even when he didn't! Ecovet was the only thing that quelled his fly paranoia! What I love about Ecovet is how multifaceted it is! there are SO many things to love about Ecovet, not only is it safer but it is also way more effective than other options on the market." - Sydney Collier

"All horses are sensitive to flies but I had one who absolutely could not stand them. She would go nuts the second a fly landed on her which made summer riding rather treacherous! I tried every fly spray and they still managed to land on her, until I found EcoVet!! Since finding EcoVet it is the only fly spray I truly trust! It has never let me down! It keeps barn flies, deer flies, and gnats away, as well as other fly breeds I'm probably leaving out. The bottom line is it works!!" - Katie Robicheaux

Hannah Croteau
Professional dressage trainer, Maine
"We have the worst case of horse flies I have ever seen up here in Maine! Ecovet has been the only fly spray to make a difference for Leo! I now have a horse that can stay out happily all day in the peak of fly season! Even his stall is fly free with just a couple sprays! I have recommended it to all of my clients, it truly is remarkable and the best news? It's non-toxic! I recommend everyone give it a try and watch what a difference it will make for your horse! - Hannah Croteau
Hannah's thoughts on our new scent:
"I love Ecovets new lavender scent! It's alot easier on the nose and it works great! The horse flies and mosquitoes have been getting really bad in Maine and it has made it so my guy can stay out all day without having to hide in his shelter! I have also used it on myself when trail riding and to keep the hornets away (I am very allergic)! I recommend it to everyone and I have peace of mind knowing I am not spraying toxic chemicals on my horse."

"Ecovet is the best fly spray around! I spent years looking for the 'right' fly spray. All I wanted was one that wouldn't break my bank account and really worked. Ecovet met both of these expectations and went above and beyond that!
"Most fly sprays you have to spray religiously and use a lot of it each time. Not with Ecovet, in fact less is more, so instead of going through a bottle of fly spray a week on my horses, I went through a bottle a month! I ended up saving hundreds of dollars from not having to buy fly spray once a week!"
"Unlike most fly spray companies that say their fly spray is the best and 'really works', Ecovet fly spray actually works. My upper-level event horse is very sensitive when it comes to bugs and also has sensitive skin. Ecovet is his lifesaver and mine throughout the summer. Before using Ecovet, our rides during bug season consisted of my horse constantly kicking at bugs on his stomach and swishing his tail a million miles an hour to keep the bugs off him. He would be irritated by the bugs, and in the end left him frustrated and uncooperative to ride. After using Ecovet for the first time, my horse returned to himself! I can not thank Ecovet enough for helping keep me and my horses happy, and keeping the bugs off of my horses!"
"ECOVET IS THE BEST! They have great prices, and this is a product that truly works! I highly recommend it to anyone that has a horse! It will make you and your horse so much happier. Imagine what life would be life with out you or your horse swatting at pesky flies all summer long, with Ecovet this will become a reality!" - Ryleigh Leavitt
Dr. Audrey Busby
Vet & Farrier, Ohio
Dr. Audrey Busby is a veterinary podiatrist located in central Ohio. Like many girls, she grew up horse obsessed which led her to pursue a career riding and training dressage horses. However, Dr. Busby quickly discovered that she was very interested in hoof care so, she switched gears and became a farrier! Her natural desire to continue learning and to provide the highest care for her equine clients led her to complete her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. Dr. Busby's unique background allows her to look at hoof care from many perspectives and work with both her equine patients and their owners to reach their hoof care and soundness goals. Dr. Busby lives with her partner and a menagerie of critters including her four ponies, a GRP dressage mare, retired Arabian gelding, Welsh pony stallion and driving mini!
"As a veterinarian and farrier I spend a lot of time around horses, their hind ends and their aggressively swishing tails during fly season. Eco-vet is my go-to fly spray, why? I can spray Eco-vet fly spray once and apply shoes without getting a tail whip to the eye (and we all know how painful that is!) All jokes aside, not only does this fly spray allow me to do my job safely and effectively with one application, it's also all natural, so no hazardous chemicals to work around!! I also use Eco-vet on my personal horses for daily turn out, exercise, showing and when I finally get around to doing their feet as well! I love Eco-vet and they love the relief from annoying flies!" - Dr. Audrey Busby
