You want to do everything you can to protect your pup from pesky biting insects, but at the same time, you don’t want to expose them to synthetic chemicals that could harm them. What’s a loving dog parent to do come flea and tick season? Earth Animal understands the dilemma—that’s why they came up with a natural solution that fights fleas and ticks on the outside while supporting your dog’s immune system from the inside, creating a two-pronged natural approach to flea and tick prevention that works!
Why Flea and Tick Prevention Is Necessary
All pet parents know flea and tick prevention is important during the warmer months. Aside from fleas and ticks being pesky, they’re also parasites that can cause serious health problems for dogs, including:
- Skin irritation and itching
- Allergic reactions
- Anemia
- Lyme and other tick-borne diseases
- Tick paralysis
- Secondary infections from scratching
- Stress and discomfort
The Problem with Traditional and (Most) Natural Interventions
The two main choices for flea & tick prevention are synthetic chemicals and natural solutions. Synthetic chemical solutions tend to be highly effective, but they can cause skin irritation, hair loss at the application site, vomiting, diarrhea, and worse. Finally, some of the chemicals in these products can harm the environment, waterways, and wildlife.
But when it comes to natural solutions, the challenge is to provide adequate protection, naturally.
