This is a spray born for those moments — a botanical shield formulated specifically for dogs, with every ingredient chosen for both its repelling power and its safety for your four-legged companion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeem oil — one of nature’s most ancient and studied anti-parasitic botanicals — forms the foundation, disrupting tick hormones and creating a hostile environment on the coat. Texas cedarwood, rich in active cedrol, suffocates and repels ticks on contact. Lemongrass blinds ticks’ ability to track their hosts. Egyptian geranium masks your dog’s natural scent, making them invisible to insects. Raw apple cider vinegar creates an acid barrier across the coat that ticks find deeply unwelcoming. Together, they form a layered, botanical defence that works with nature — not against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo DEET. No synthetics. No harsh chemicals.
