This month, the
Chewy influencers gave us an opportunity to try out the
Easy Defense Flea and Tick Wipes and mom could not have been happier.
We are being honest here. For the past 2 years, I have been wearing the
Seresto Flea and Tick collar. Mom never thought that I was having issues with it but for the past 2 years, my belly has been irritated with red spots and black spots and mom has had to apply apple cider vinegar and many topical sprays, gels and creams to try to keep it looking decent. My belly would FINALLY clear up at the end of the year in November, and go back to looking healthy. So at the beginning of this month, she put the Seresto collar on me, and I immediately started to scratch and itch and my belly immediately got tiny red spots. She took the collar off and started looking for something natural and with less chemicals than the Seresto collar has.
She discovered the
Ofhuh collar at Amazon and read the reviews and decided this was the way we were going to go. Because it's new to me, she has been constantly checking me for ticks and to be honest, it's been cold here and our snow has just now disappeared so there are probably not too many ticks out and about yet.
So when
Chewy offered the
Easy Defense Flea and Tick wipes for both cats and dogs, mom jumped at it!
"Protect your precious pup from fleas, ticks
and mosquitoes the safe and effective way with the Only Natural Pet
EasyDefense Flea & Tick wipes for dogs and cats. Using the power of
natural Geranium and Peppermint plant extracts, these biodegradable
towelettes are completely free of pesticides and toxins, making them
safe for your furry friends, and sparing you from applying dangerous
chemicals. Scientifically tested and veterinarian approved botanicals
create an invisible barrier around your dog or cat—and the towelettes
make it easier than ever to protect your pet from pests. To humans and
pups, they carry a pleasant, soft scent, but the smell makes one thing
clear to fleas and ticks—they aren’t welcome on the back of your furry
friend. Keep them safe the natural way, with Only Natural Pets."
There are 40 wipes in the resealable package and they don't have an over-powering odor at all.
"Wipe the pre-moistened towelette on the pet's fur, including paws,
legs and stomach until damp. Massage the coat so product reaches skin.
Depending on the thickness, type, and length of fur more than one wipe
may be required to get the product through the entire coat. For dogs,
pay close attention to the lower back and chest regions and for cats
target the neck and head regions, as fleas tend to gather in these
areas. Avoid contact with the animal's nose, mouth, eyes and genitals.
Reapply every 2-3 days or as needed, before the animal goes outside or
just after bathing or swimming. Safe for daily use.
Important: EasyDefense Flea & Tick Wipes protect
against new fleas and will not eliminate an existing infestation. If
your pet currently has fleas, please use Only Natural Pet All-In-One
Flea Remedy to eliminate them prior to use. Sensitivities may occur when
using any flea & tick prevention program. If your pet shows signs
of irritation, bathe them with shampoo or a mild detergent, rinsing with
large amounts of water. Contact your veterinarian if adverse symptoms
continue or worsen."
So far, I have had no irritation.
Are we finally ready for walkies, mom?
Mom and I both feel that I'm now a VERY protected AireGirl from those nasty ticks and fleas and mosquitoes!
Thank you so much for letting us give these natural wipes a try,
Miss Natalie and the Chewy team!
