Simple tricks to keep the ticks away!
Try covering small parts of your dogs body so the ticks do not have as much to gasp onto as your dog quickly passes through the tall grass. An old t-shirt can be altered to fit on your dog or old socks can be cut and used as leg warmers.
Home Remedies for Tick Prevention
Essential Oils- 1/2 oz. Hazel or Sweet Almond Oil (2 drops of each) Geranium, Rosewood, Lavendar, Myrrth, Opoponax and Bayleaf. Apply 2-4 drops around the neck, chest and legs.
Best way to remove a tick is with a tick removal hook.
As a reminder, always check around the ears, the chest and under the armpits of your dogs after leaving any wooded area and also check yourself!
