SCEPTICISM TO GRATITUDE (I ate my words)!
Because I choose not to douse my dog in chemicals, I was spending hours every night removing shellback ticks from my dog Missy (usually 3 to 5 per night). Also brushing them from her coat before they attached on numerous occasions throughout the day.
Being a bit of a sceptic! When my girlfriend suggested that I try a ShooTag, I didn't show much interest, but she insisted that being the height of the tick season, I use some protection and presented me with a ShooTag.
To my amazement, not one tick or flea got on Missy since attaching the ShooTag to her collar. If I had not seen this with my very own eyes I would NEVER have believed
it.
Last week Missy slipped her collar in the dam with ShooTag attached and almost immediately there were ticks crawling all over her again. UNBELIEVABLE - these things REALLY DO WORK!

Thanks for the prompt service with my order of shootag.
I have used shootag on a holiday in Penang and Kuala Lumper. Fabulous product. The first night we arrived my husband and I were with three family members in the foyer of a beautiful hotel, sitting on couches facing each other. The setting was beautiful, greenery and water cascading. We were wearing our tags as the instructions directed but the others unknown to me were not, they doubted the effectiveness of the shootags I had bought them.
All of a sudden the three of them announced they were going up to their rooms all with smiles on their faces. When they returned they were wearing their tags. My husband and I were unaware that they had been watching mosquitoes circle us in a swarm, but not biting. They on the other hand were getting bitten all over.
I wouldn’t travel without one they give you peace of mind especially in a high risk county for Dengue fever.
Yours sincerely,

Living in a location with close proximity to a creek, lots of green vegetation, and coastal weather, we are constantly under threat from Mossies.
We have two very young kids – one of which is loved by mossies. If bitten, he has large itchy lumps and being only 3, he feels all he can do is scratch. This leads to bleeding and a longer heal time.
We are conscious of chemicals around our kids, and as such looked to other solutions. Fortunately we own and operate a pet store and have been selling the animal Shoo Tags for a little while. Seeing the field tests and wanting an alternative solution, there was not much thinking to do about trying a Human Mossie Shoo Tag on our son. To say it helps is an understatement. We can actually tell the days where we evidently forgot to put it with him, or when it starts to wear off because the mossies come back with a vengeance. As long as he has his Shoo Tag, he seems to be mossie bite free – leaving us more exposed. So now, each of us have a Human Mossie Shoo Tag.

I'm writing you today to tell you how pleased we are with your Shoo tags for people. Last summer we had a terrible mosquito year and couldn't go outside without spraying repellent all over ourselves. I learned about Shoo tags from Jackie's Livestock and Pet Emporium in Middleton, Id, so I thought I'd give them a try. To make a long story short, I'm married to the biggest skeptic I've ever met, who made fun of me when I brought the Shoo tags home. He now keeps one in his pocket at all times, tells everyone how great they are and is buying the next ones. He brags how he doesn't get bit anymore because of his "tag". Thanks again, you have a great product! No more bug spray.

Have just completed 4 months of using the flea & Tick Shoo Tags on my young dog. Absolutely wonderful, not a flea, tick or midge bite in all that time, and this is on a dog who has extremely sensitive skin and cannot tolerate the" spot- ons" or flea collars, I was despairing about keeping him clear during the wet summer, but all my worries are over. Thrilled with the results and re-ordering Shoo Tags again so I always have them in use.
Thank you.

Just a note to let you know how happy I am with the Shoo Tag. It's been almost three months now I think since I bought the first one and still no sign of fleas. And I was bathing him twice a week in Malawash to keep them at bay!
I really can't get my head around how it works, but obviously it does. I've even showed the vet and she was pretty amazed.
Thanks. (especially from Harley!!!!)

As a retailer I have to have faith in the products stocked in the store. So naturally when ShooTag approached the store I had to try them. Personally I have had concerns, as have some of our customers, of the level of chemicals used both in animal and human pest control treatments, so I was pleased to have an opportunity to be able to offer an alternative. The first tags I used was the human mosquito tag and the cat flea tag.
My 7 year old son had a history of not only being 'bitten alive' but whelping up and ending up with scabbed sores from the itching. We are now onto the 2nd tag and can say we could count the number of times he has been bitten on one hand. Given the fact that I still get bitten at the same rate and that we live in a semi rural area with plenty of dams close by I couldn't be happier with the result, and for him - he won't take it off!
Headly the cat is very sensitive to fleas and will get scabby sore ears at the drop of a hat. With his first tag, his ears cleared up. Nearing the end of the 4 month period we noticed the scabs again. Sure enough with his second tag, all clear again.
I am extremely happy with the results to date and now about to use the horse and dog tags. I would recommend to anyone to at least to try them out.

As Owners of a Pet Store we were first introduced to Shoo Tag by our Rep, being slightly sceptical we wondered how this little piece of plastic could do what was claimed.
So, after some persuasion, we decided to give it a go on our cat who gets flaky skin after using the usual products that are available. Well all we can say is....WOW! No Fleas, no flaky skin, just a nice clean shiny coat.
So, when planning a recent camping trip we decided to give one of the mosquito Shoo Tags for people a go.....once again, very impressed. Not one bite all weekend, not even the annoying buzz in the tent at night, and being camped right next to a billabong they were definitely about.
Thanks for creating a great environmentally friendly product that works.....Well done.

Last summer I bought a Shoo Tag for my Waler horse who suffered from 'weepy' eyes due to flies annoying him. I found that within 5 days his eyes had cleared up and his general disposition was much better - not as much tail swishing!
Even at the height of summer, I found that the flies were not bothering him, whereas friends' horses had bitten ears due to the flies.
Shoo Tag is easy to use and there is no chasing the horse around the paddock to squirt or spray on chemical products - big bonus!!
I will be using Shoo Tag on my new horse, Storm, this summer. I work in the pet industry and will definitely recommend our customers try Shoo Tag on their 4 legged friends.

I purchased the tick shoo tag for my cat about a month ago and I just wanted to let you now what an AMAZING product it is and how much I LOVE it!!
We recently acquired a cat through a family member that could no longer keep him, within a week of living with us he had a paralysis tick which required a costly trip to the vet and then countless hours of research on the internet to try and find a product that would work to prevent them. After using other products including spot on applications and tick spray, the cat was still averaging two to three ticks a week and it was costing $90 every three weeks (the last tick he had was number 11). I thought we would have to rehome the cat and it was a very stressful and worrying period of our lives.
I found your product on the internet and purchased it about a month ago, and I haven't seen a tick on him in a whole month. I just can't believe it! Even with the other products he was still getting at least one tick a week but since using your product he hasn't had one. I stopped using the other products all together. I love the fact that it is a natural product, I hated spraying him with pesticide every few days. I feed my animals a raw, natural diet so finding a product that would prevent ticks without using chemicals was just amazing.
Thank you so much for Shoo tag, I couldn't recommend it enough and again, I just wanted to say a huge Thank You!

My property here in Perth WA is full of visting kangaroos, sounds lovely but sadly they are covered in ticks!! To my horror the cat came in and sat on my knee and the next thing I had a tick trying to burrow into my leg. I straight away got on the phone to the local vet to find out what was on offer to treat ticks. There was plenty of things for dogs but not cats, I didnt want to use anything with chemicals as I suffer from Lupas and last time I used a leading brand for flea protection it melted the cats collar into his fur!! When I read up on SHOOTAG I thought this is too good to be true but anyway I thought I would give it ago. Well that was 3 months ago and not a tick in sight and the cat sits with the roos every afternoon at feeding time. Im so impressed and will be letting all my friends know that there is an alternative to chemicals that does work!!
Brilliant!

I just thought I would give you some feedback on the Shootag for cats product that I purchased last week.
I have 2 cats I adopted after they were abandoned and for a long while I did not like to give them the spot-on chemicals to rid them of fleas. In the last few months one cat had to be taken to the vet urgently due to a serious reaction she developed from a Bayer product. I was then trying to find another solution for fleas.
The oldest cat did not have visible fleas but was scratching and the younger one had 6 or 7 fleas noticeable on her head or stomache.
After putting the tag on, I noticed a change within a matter of hours and both cats seem to be relaxed. Before the youngest one tended to be a loner and stay in the enclosure by herself at night but from the night she had the tag on she has been more social and has had a good change in behavior.
Thanks for the product. It looks like it is working well.
I gave 2 tags to a friend of mine and she told me the following morning she had noticed a change too.... her cats looked like they had been cleaning their fur all night and looked peaceful.
Well done on a great product. You should approach the vets to market this product as it is safer to use than the chemical options.

When we bought Shoo Tag we thought our little kitten was going to go crazy with the tags and try and rip or scratch them off. To our great surprise they were happy and relaxed as if nothing was hanging around there neck, if anything the tags seemed to make them much more relaxed.
Our older rag doll cat was very sick from fleas and we had him at the vets, he was aneamic and very sick. Even his usually bright pink nose was white. We washed the cats only in natural soap to get rid of flea dirt then put on the shoo tags, and honestly by the second day neither cats were scratching and no more fleas! We even had the vet out to check on our cats and no fleas..and we can say thanks to the shoo tags we love them as do the cats. They are so happy and healthy to be flea free :)
Tiki our cat who was very sick from the fleas, after a few days of using shoo tag, his nose was back to being bright shinny pink as too were his gums.
We are so grateful and thankful for the shoo tags as our cats are our family and we wanted to avoid any dangerous harsh toxic products but fleas just seem to be so resilient to everything but not the SHOO TAGS, fleas hate them, and the best thing is they are a great natural product and cheap so we can afford to keep our cats free from fleas for ever and ever :)
Thanking you and all the staff for such a amazing great and safe natural product, cats are finally happy to be flea free and happy :) It's great to see our cats happy and flea free :)

I recently purchased a shoo tag from my local horse supply shop after trying everything possible on my cockerspanial to get rid of his fleas, nothing has previously worked. The fleas may go for a few days, the longest has been 1 week.
He has had the shoo tag on now for over three weeks and has not had a flea on him, which I am thrilled about.
I am about to try it on my horse for Queensland itch, I hope it works as well on horses as it does on dogs.

I was introduced to ShooTag in America by my holistic veterinarian and was always highly impressed by ShooTag's power and ability to protect not only my cats, but my many horses.
On my return to Australia I found, to my dismay, that the product was not available here. Imagine my joy in 2009 when I found ShooTag here in Melbourne at my local veterinarian. I have been using it since on my dog, cats and many horses.
As a mobile animal masseuse who is always accompanied by my ripper dog, Daisy, I have to ensure constant HOLISTIC protection of her for fleas and ticks. I use ShooTag to protect her and will always. I do not use any of the chemical treatment options available; never have and never will.
Please phone me on 0408 012 810 to ensure this is a genuine unpaid for Testimonial. ShooTag is now available in Australia and I will continue to use this amazing HOLISTIC product.

I work in Paws Point, a dog boutique in Sydney. When we first started stocking the Shootag I wasn't convinced about how well it would work, so I bought one for my older dog who doesn't react well to the chemicals in the regular topical flea and tick treatments, and left my younger dog with her usual topical treatment.
It has been six weeks now and my older dog with the shootag has been flea free the entire time, during one of the worst flea infested summers we have had! My younger dog without the shootag has been infested. I was AMAZED at how well this product has worked!!
I have recommended it to many,many, MANY of our customers and they have all been giving us the exact same feedback, its AMAZING and it WORKS.
It is SO great to get a product that does EXACTLY what it says it does!

I have had two dogs for many years. Almost two years ago I lost my Australian Terrier to a tick. He was protected, so I thought, with every product available, but it did not do the job. My other Australian Terrrier has a severe skin allergy to fleas. It gets so bad that I have to use antibiotic cream and his back ends up bald from the rash and scratching. Nothing has ever stopped the fleas or scratching.
After I lost the Australian Terrier I fell in love with a Blue cattle dog. He too ,died from tick paralyisis at age 11mths. So I have been very sceptical about any product working. I dared to get another puppy a little while later and still have the other Aussie Terrier.
My friend came across the Shootags at a show and purchased them on my behalf. I put the flea one on my Aussie Terrier and the tick one on my pup. All of a sudden my Aussie Terrier no longer scratched.!!!! No itching, no pulling out of his fur, he was free from his irritation. Wow. I could not believe it. I firmly believe this product works. No other product has had that result. Finally something that works.
I also have a ginger cat that I have never been able to get rid of the fleas, so he is next in line for a Shootag!!!

I had been using chemcial treatments on my dog Polly for five years. They worked very well, but I would notice for a day or two after application Polly would seem unwell. I wanted to find something just as effective but with less harmful side effects.
Polly and I were in Centennial Park a few months ago and noticed they had an alternative for sale at the Petwash 2000. So I got the man to put the magic tags on Polly. It was the middle of summer so the tags had a real chance to work and they did!
There hasn't been any ticks or fleas on Polly since we have been using the Shootag. I've taped them to the inside of her collar. The other great advantages of the Shootag are they are more cost effective and there are no nasty side effects. I am looking forward to trying the mossie shootags on myself next summer!

Fantastic! Smokey it turns out is allergic to flea bites and then the vet told me I needed to use the commercial flea products 2 x a month, not only did the dollar signs keep registering in my mind, but also what effect were they having or NOT on my cats. So I did some research and also saw this product on TV at some point, totally natural I liked that idea so thought why not I'll give it a go.
Well Smokey is so much happier, she has not had any allergic reactions and NO bites since we started using them, her coat is soft and glossy. have been recommending them to everyone I know with a pet.
GO GIVE THEM A GO YOU WON'T BE DISSAPPOINTED NOR WILL YOUR PET!

I first heard about Shootag at dog training sessions where they had leaflets explaining the product. The option of the availability of an electromagnetic, external and non-chemical form of flea prevention was attractive.
My first set of Shootags was purchased as a trial in July and have discovered they live up to the claim of working for up to 4 months as Wilson is flea and tick free still.
Others living locally have mentioned ticks have been found on their dogs which is an indication that the tags are working as we live on acreage with long grass. The tags appear quite durable as there has been no noticeable deterioration whilst they've been on Wilson's collar.
Wilson has definitely given Shootag the "paws up" so have ordered him a new set.

A note of gratitude that the flea & tick Shoo tags for my dog have been so successful.
As a naturopath I have never been comfortable using organophosphate poisons systematically on my dog for flea & tick protection.
As a firm believer in the power of energy medicines anyway (I practice homeopathy, acupuncture & flower escence healing), I had no trouble accepting the possibility of these tags working.
Now having witnessed their effectiveness on my dog, I have no hesitation recommending these tags to anyone.

I live in an area which is very prone to paralysis ticks and have lost one cat to these pests. Many of my neighbours have also lost their cats and dogs. If they haven't died there is a very large vet bill to save them if the ticks are found in time.
I have tried many types of sprays, collars etc and all I find is that my cat gets sick and stressed when I apply them. I heard about shoo tag and started using the tick and flea tags last December on my cat.
I am thrilled with the results, absolutely no fleas and only the occasional tick which is usually found under my cat's collar where I would think the benefits of shoo tag can't reach! Prior to using Shoo tag, I was finding at least one tick a day on my cat. Well done Shoo Tag!

Hi my name is Denise Powell, my husband & I own a small pet shop in Gympie Qld.
When we put the Shootag range of products in our store I was sceptical as were the customers I approached, so I decided to try it on one of my own dogs , a two kilo flea magnet . I gave her a capstar tablet to rid her of any lodgers & attached the shootag to her collar,at the same time I treated all my other dogs with one of the long term chemical products.
Within three days Polar was flea free and all the other dogs were not. I was so impressed that now anyone who is willing to kick the chemical cycle gets the spiel and polar gets trotted out to show off her flea free bod.
Many thanks from Polar & Mary St Pets.

I want to thank you for when I placed my order for the shop, you told me about the Shoo!Tag to keep flies away from dogs. Having a Blegian Shepherd and German Shepherd, 4 years ago, when I moved house, both the dogs suffered fly blown ears, especially the Belgian, he’s black. Since placing the Shoo!Tag on them, not one single sign of fly bite. I’ve tried various products, but finding the time to place on the dogs ears is very difficult, especially when you are running late for work.Nothing has been as easy or effective as the Shoo!Tag for flies. Place the tag on the dog’s collar, dogs are happy and so am I.
Thank you Shoo!Tag and thank you Mark,
