Our Herbal Defense is an all-natural biting insect spray for dogs that we feel you will find head and shoulders above other similar products. This special formula features organic essential oils blended with other organic ingredients that will provide protection against ticks, fleas, mosquitoes and other biting insect pests.
Because a lot of research went into the development of our Herbal Defense spray, it is not just composed of essential oils like the majority of other bug sprays. Instead, we also include a couple of other specialized oils along with organic apple cider vinegar to make this bug repellent spray truly effective!
For dogs only due to essential oil content.
Available in an 8 ounce spray bottle.
What to Look for in a Superior Insect Spray:
✓ Organic Ingredients
We make sure to obtain our ingredients from USDA certified organic farms. This is not only more responsible from an environmental perspective but also helps to keep pesticide residue from coming into contact with your animal's skin. Pesticides can have all sorts of toxic effects on you dog's liver and kidneys, but many people don't know that they also act as powerful estrogens while in the body upsetting a balanced hormone system and contributing to disease.
✓ Natural Ingredients
Natural ingredients are going to be gentler on your animal's body when compared to synthetic chemical ingredients or medications. The proper natural constituents are able to provide the body with what it needs to heal and get better. This is in direct contrast to synthetic ingredients or medications that can be especially hard on the liver and kidneys. Medications are also designed to have a symptom suppressing action in line with the principles of allopathic medicine which is to create a diagnoses and then use drugs to suppress symptoms. Using this course of action can never result in true healing and is not really meant to.
✓ Uses only Human Grade Ingredients
Our products are manufactured using human grade ingredients. In the pet industry this is far from the rule as many companies use pet quality ingredients, those considered "not fit for human consumption".
✓ Uses Fresh, High Quality Ingredients
We purchase our ingredients from some of the most highly regarded companies in their respective fields so you and your animals are ensured the finest quality supplements. In addition, we purchase in small quantities to make sure the products we provide to you are fresh and bursting with important nutrients. This is in direct contrast to many other products on the market that can spend a year or longer sitting in non-climate controlled warehouses before they even get to you.
