Do you want to make your own natural tick repellent for your dog, but you don’t know how?
In this blog, I’m sharing my own recipe!
I keep receiving emails and messages about Tick Off and Ear Cleaner. When I closed down the products side of Vita Canis, I thought these two wouldn’t be missed much. And I was wrong!
Therefore I decided to share the recipe with you so that you can make your own natural tick repellent for your dog because the tick season is already here!
This natural tick repellent contains essential oils. These essential oils smell soooo disgusting to ticks (it’s like the smells of the food you don’t like or something even worse… cooked tripe… blah) that they would rather go hungry than come any closer to your dog! These include geranium, grapefruit, cedarwood, rosewood, and lemongrass… all of these are in the Tick Off, of course.
When shopping for ingredients, buy high-quality; that’s very important! I recommend Penny Price Aromatherapy, Naturally Thinking, and Essential Oils Direct.
For 100ml Tick Off, you will need:
Geranium floral water 30ml
Lavender floral water 30ml
Aloe vera leaf juice 20ml
Alcohol 5ml
Purified water 10ml
Vitamin E 1 drop
Geranium essential oil 12 drops
Cedarwood essential oil 10 drops
Rosewood essential oil 6 drops
Lavender essential oil 6 drops
Grapefruit essential oil 6 drops
Lemongrass essential oil 3 drops
Ear Cleaner 100ml:
Aloe vera leaf juice 20ml
Geranium flower water 30ml
Lavender flower water 20ml
Which hazel flower water 30ml
Niaouli essential oil 10drops
Lemon essential oil 5 drops
Vitamin E 1 drop
Keep both products in a cool, dry place, preferably a fridge.
SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE!
