ive lived in a tick infested woodland for 1.5years with my 2 dogs
here is my advice
nothing is as good as visual check
nothing works 100% (topical or internal)
ticks are fierce and many
EFFECTIVE: search and remove ticks before 24 hours, no risk of disease if removed soon
be vigilant and thorough with grooming and search daily everywhere, get a fine comb
i’ve tried EVERYTHING and everything is only a partial repellent, i have tried:
- sound device ‘tickless’ * = ineffective ticks embedded next to emitter (keep your money)
- coconut oil application good for fleas but not so good for ticks, can help repel ticks *
- acv application helps repel *
- essential oils helps repel *
- diatomaceous earth powder topical application helps repel *
- yarrow powder or infusion application helps repel *
- neem oil helps repel *
- garlic in food helps repel *
- acv in food / water helps repel *
(* still found ticks = EVERYTHING)
As a Homeopath, Naturopath and Complimentary Alternative Medicine Practitioner I refuse to and don’t use toxic tick/flea medications they poison the blood of the animal as well as the flea/tick/parasite
i treat tick bites homeopathically with
1/ ledum
2/ naturopathic isopathy and make tick bite homeopathic remedy, i offer training and a book on how to do this
BENEFITS OF VISUAL CHECKS
it’s not easy to check every day, doing this every day is for the love of your animal and their safety we check, on the bright side, the extra grooming creates a deeper bond between you and them
hope this helps
