More Information On Non-Toxic Pet Pest Repellents

We always have many enquiries on flea and tick repellents for animals. There is also grave concern regarding the many spot-on products available on the market.

This article provides some information which may be useful for all of us.

An excerpt:

Who wants to hear that mysterious compounds with tongue-twister names like “cyphenothrin,” “permethrin,” or “diethylmetatoluamide” (DEET) are in the pesticide you’re about to put on your pet? I certainly don’t. Do you?

Here are the natural Brazilian oils and ingredients found in Flea & Tick Defense spray…

Lemongrass oil – When formulated into a spray for pets, promotes a shiny, healthy coat, and helps repel fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes.Cinnamon oil – A versatile essential oil widely used in the household. It is an effective environmentally-friendly ingredient that helps deter mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, and other pests from attacking your dog or cat.Sesame oil – A rich, almost odorless oil derived from tiny sesame seeds. When combined with other essential oils it helps protect against pests and promotes the health of your pet’s skin and coat.Castor oil – Castor oil has been used for years by veterinarians. When combined with other oils, helps to repel a variety of pests.Purified water – Only the purest water is used to help blend and properly balance the unique formula of essential oils.

There’s one very important point I want to make about these ingredients… it’s not the individual elements that make Flea & Tick Defense so effective, it’s the expert blending and balancing of the Brazilian oils with the pure water.

You need to be very careful when selecting a pest preventive for your pet. If too much of any one ingredient is not blended properly, your pet’s skin could become irritated.

The types of oils and correct percentages of oils blended together are not only important for assuring efficacy, but also safety — especially for cats.
