All you have to do is simply wipe your dog or cat down with one of these Only Natural Pet EasyDefense Flea & Tick Wipes.  Simply grab a pre-moistened towlette and wipe it on your pet's fur including paws until damp and product reaches skin.  You may need more than one wipe depending on size and fur thickness.
For dogs make sure to coat the lower back and chest areas.  Cats area you should focus on the neck and head.  Reapply every 2-3 days or as needed or wanted, letting the botanical power do its magic to protect your pet with natural active ingredients.



These biodegradable wipes are lifesavers and extremely convenient!  They are fast, easy and protects Neptune from fleas and ticks naturally and safely.  I use these Flea & Tick wipes for hikes, adventures, walks, unplanned excursions and even when we go in the backyard.  Our backyard is an open tree filled area full of animals that are carrying those little buggers.  I especially like that they have the ability to be applied to Neptune's paws and face.

Ultimately Fight Fleas & Ticks Holistically






Fight those pesty fleas and ticks naturally with one of Only Natural Pet Flea & Tick Control Kits.  All the essentials put together in different kits to take the guess work out of protecting your pet while being safe for them and you.  You can even buy each pawesome product by itself but this kit takes all the worry and guess work out of it.



It's a jungle out there and I'm glad my fur babies are protected with this Holistic Flea and Tick Ultimate Kit.  Before using this I was using Frontline Plus and Alle was still getting ticks.  So, why not use something that is safe for her and us while actually keeping the bugs at bay?  Alle has been using this Only Natural Pet Holistic Flea & Tick Ultimate Kit for several months now and no, not one tick or flea! Yippee! Also, we just rescued a male, boxer dog named Neptune whom was infested in fleas and flea eggs.  With this kit not one went on Alle and Neptune kicked those pest goodbye.

THE UGLY TRUTH OF #TICKS

One morning I was cuddling with Alle when I began to scratch her behind her ears like she puppy loves.  When I felt a bump on the left side of her neck right behind her ear I began to run my hands over it trying to figure out the source or cause of it.  I briefly thought it felt like a scratch with a little bit of dry blood.  Then I started to think about how much Alle was scratching her neck and ear area the day before after playing outside most of the day.  So I listened to my mother instinct and looked closer.  I moved her hair aside and shined a flash light on her bare skin.  I was sickened and horrified when I seen little legs moving on the small body of a tick that was attach to my poor dog!  It was war, momma bear claws came out and I just wanted to rip it off of Alle.  But I calmly removed it myself and took Alle in the next day to her vet for a checkup.

Most pets veterinary removes a tick for free but if you want to do it yourself here is some key points on the removal of ticks:
  • Make sure you are wearing gloves
  • Use tweezers or a tick removable device
  • With your tweezers gently put the tick on its back
  • Grab the tick firmly, as close to the skin as possible
  • Do not twist and turn the tick because doing so can break off the head
  • Once you remove the tick from your dog put it into alcohol 
*Do not use such methods like paint, nail polish, petroleum jelly to remove the tick it can cause the tick to pass infected saliva back to your dog which can increase disease transmission or even infection.

Ticks need a host to grow and survive or they die.  And can attach on to a host in about 30 seconds.  Once a tick finds a host they burrow into the skin with their mouthparts which are barbed to secure them to their host.  Next they regurgitate small amounts of saliva with neurotoxins that prevents the host from feeling irritation and pain of the bite.  Which is probably why the tick bite usually goes unnoticed.

I foolishly thought that since Alle was on tick repellent medicine she was safe but have found out the hard way that your pup can still get ticks.  So rub your dog down to check for ticks plus they will love all the attention you are giving them!
