<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Protection against ticks is extremely important, as ticks cause unpleasant itching for your puppy and carry various diseases that can make your puppy sick.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is tick protection important?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are many types of ticks, some of which transmit serious diseases such as Lyme disease, babesiosis and anaplasmosis.<br \/>\nThese parasites are not only annoying but can cause serious health problems for your puppy. <\/p>\n<p>Ticks prefer to stay in tall grass, bushes and thickets and prey on their victims, which include our four-legged friends.<br \/>\nOnce they attach themselves to the skin, they can transmit dangerous diseases.<br \/>\nIt is therefore important to protect your puppy from these parasites.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7573942 e-flex

class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You need (for 30 ml of repellent):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1.5 ml neem oil (5%, the other 95% is the base oil, I used regular olive oil) &#8211; you can find neem oil on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.afrotera.com\">Afrotera<\/a> website<\/li>\n<li>2 drops of lavender essential oil<\/li>\n<li>2 drops of tea tree essential oil<\/li>\n<li>2 drops of lemongrass essential oil<\/li>\n<li>2 drops of eucalyptus<\/li>\n<li>olive oil (add enough to fill 30 ml)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mix well and store in a dark place.<br \/>\nStir before each use and apply a few drops to your pet&#8217;s skin.<br \/>\nI use one drop at a time and rub it on the inside of the ear on the skin, then spread a few more drops on my palms and go all over the body, from head to tail.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m especially careful to apply under my armpits and on my stomach between my back legs.<br \/>\nI apply every day for at least 3 weeks at the beginning of the season, then about 3x a week throughout the summer as long as there are ticks.    <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>What more can you do?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><\/b><b>Dietary supplements<\/b>: adding dietary supplements containing ingredients such as garlic, brewer&#8217;s yeast or apple cider vinegar can help deter ticks from your dog.<br \/>\nThese ingredients change the smell of the skin, which repels ticks. <\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><b>Regular cleaning and mowing of the yard<\/b>: regular mowing of the grass and removal of leaves and shrubs in the yard can reduce the chances of ticks settling in the area and thus reduce your dog&#8217;s exposure.<\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><b>Regular check-ups<\/b>: despite all preventive measures, it is important to regularly check your dog&#8217;s skin and coat after every walk or outdoor play.<br \/>\nIf you see any ticks, remove them safely and immediately. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Protecting your puppy from ticks is extremely important as it can prevent serious health problems.<br \/>\nNatural products can be an effective and safe alternative to commercial repellents.<br \/>\nBy using a combination of preventive measures, we can effectively protect our pets from the dangers posed by ticks.  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>I hope you and your puppy spend as many carefree days outside in nature as possible
