Is there anything that makes you squirm more than ticks?
Small, hard to spot, and found all over the United States and Canada, ticks are related
to spiders and are parasites that feed on warm-blooded hosts…like dogs. They are
most commonly picked up in grassy, wooded areas. But the truth is, any dog who
goes outdoors is at risk of getting bitten by a tick.
Yuck!
Fortunately, we don’t have to rely on harsh and/or harmful chemicals in order to
protect our pooches from ticks.
CherryBrook Pet Supplies is leading the pack (so to speak) with natural and organic
tick repellents, all made right here in the USA.

Do I Really Need to Worry About Ticks?

Yes.
While most tick bites are harmless, dogs can get sick.
For example:

• Lyme disease
• Ehrlichiosis
• Anaplasmosis
• Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
• Babesiosis
• Bartonellosis
• Hepatozoonosis

Are all tick-borne diseases veterinarians have documented in canines, according to
The American Kennel Club.

Alas, stopping a tick bite from ever happening is not possible.

But we CAN take preventative measures that dissuade nasty parasites like fleas and
ticks from thinking our beloved dogs are good hosts!

Bathing your dog with Richards Organics Flea and Tick Shampoo is a great start. It
uses ingredients that are 100% natural tick repellents, including: peppermint oil,
clove oil, cedar oil, cinnamon oil, rosemary oil, vitamin E, lanolin, and wheat germ oil
in a coconut oil base.

Ticks also hate the smell of:

•  Eucalyptus
•  Citrus
•  Lemongrass

So, consider using these as natural tick-repellents instead of chemical-based options
during your next outdoor adventure. And be sure to bring along a dog tick remover, too!
