Protect your dog naturally with a plant-based flea and tick spray that relies on proven actives—not harsh pesticides. Cedarwood and lemongrass essential oils help block insect scent receptors and deter bites, while lavender adds a mild repellent effect and soothes stressed or irritated skin. Neem oil delivers broad-spectrum defense by disrupting pest feeding and reproduction. Apple cider vinegar improves coat aesthetics and makes skin less attractive to fleas, and coconut oil’s lauric acid helps smother pests while moisturizing the coat. Leucidal Liquid SF provides natural preservation, and a touch of baking soda gently deodorizes and buffers pH. Shake well, mist the coat (avoid eyes/nose; apply to hands for the head), and reapply every 2–4 hours during outdoor exposure. Store in a cool, dark place and discontinue use if the scent, color, or texture changes. This dog-safe routine keeps adventures comfortable—naturally.
