Pets are important parts of our families, and many cats and dogs enjoy being outside. However, there are many risks that come alongside the freedoms of playing outdoors. Two major risks are fleas and ticks.

How do we protect our pets from fleas and ticks?

Sadly, tick bites in dogs are hard to find, since they are typically too small to find in their fur. The only way to identify ticks once they are on your pet is watching for ticks, especially in the areas that are tick hot spots. These include the ears, around the tail, around the eyelids, and even under the toes of your pet.

So, what preventative measures can we take to prevent ticks from finding the hot spots on your pet?

There are many products available for flea and tick prevention, but very few natural ones on the market. If we use natural products on ourselves, why not on our furry family members too?

Pet Naturals of Vermont is a brand that provides many natural products for your pets! They have everything from multivitamins to dog treats. Pet Naturals of Vermont also makes a flea and tick spray for your pets that contains all natural ingredients such as sesame oil, lemongrass, and cinnamon oil. All you do is spray the mixture on your pet, emphasizing legs and stomach. Then, depending on coat length you can rub it in or apply it to pet grooming tools like brushes.

As pet owners, the main goal is to keep your pet happy and healthy. Pet Naturals of Vermont makes that easy to do with their fast applying spray!
