I've been using it to keep the bugs off, just the regular bath oil stuff (I figure I can get skin cancer by using Deet bug spray or by not using sun screen, I'm going with the latter) and after just spending $10 on insecticide from the vet to put on my dog I'm wondering why I didnt just put some SSS on him! Has anyone tried it on pets? I googled it and it said it was fine. Also wondering if anyone has used the Avon insect repellants (which have SPF in them)? They seem to have good reviews but I was just curious.
