Tick Stick
Once thought to be found only in certain areas of the country, ticks are now widespread throughout the U.S. They can easily latch on and feed on your pet’s blood, and have the potential to transmit serious diseases, like Lyme disease.
Some ticks are so tiny, they can be difficult to see – and remove. They attach and embed themselves to their host in areas where the skin is thin, inserting their rostrums – tube-like structures covered with backward-pointing spikes – and secreting saliva to help them anchor tightly to your dog or cat.
Because of the unique way ticks attach themselves, it is critically important to remove them properly. Removing a tick by squeezing and pulling it out can cause the tick to secrete more saliva and leave behind embedded pieces of the rostrum in your pet’s body. The Tick Stick allows you to remove them quickly and effectively.
The Tick Stick is an ideal tool for removing ticks, as it:
-
Allows you to hold the tick without compressing it and remove it by using a twisting rather than a pulling motion that can ‘lock’ the tick in place.
-
Works with the tick’s rostrum structure instead of against it. As you twist the Tick Stick, the tick’s spikes bend into the axis of rotation, making the tick easier to remove.
-
Is reusable and convenient to use whenever needed.
As careful a plan you devise to protect your pet against ticks, it’s difficult to avoid them completely. Plan ahead, and order several so you’re never without a Tick Stick.
Flea & Tick Defense
Fleas, ticks and mosquitoes are more than an itchy nuisance – they can carry and transmit potentially harmful bacteria, viruses and even tapeworms to your cat or dog.
The traditional veterinarian industry’s answer to the growing flea and tick crisis is to use harsh chemical-laden products. These products can contain one or more potentially hazardous ingredients, including proven neurotoxins and one officially classified as a “Group C – Possible Human Carcinogen.”
The ingredients in regular flea and tick repellent products can work their way to your pet’s bloodstream and organs, sometimes within minutes of application. Our flagship pet pest repellent product, Flea & Tick Defense, provides a worry-free alternative that doesn’t rely on harsh, potentially hazardous chemicals.
Based on a formula created in the Amazon rainforest, where fleas, ticks and mosquitoes are a way of life, Flea & Tick Defense uses a special blend of “pet-friendly,” yet “pest-unfriendly” natural Brazilian oils. This unique formula:
-
Contains a rich blend of oils, including Lemongrass, Cinnamon, Sesame and Castor Oils, expertly blended and balanced with purified water.
-
Is designed for short-term use, and for best results, reapply every two to three days, and after swimming, bathing or exposure to heavy rain.
-
Is ideal for protection during an occasional walk in the woods, day hike or weekend camping trip.
