It sure does feel good to know that my dogs are always safe and protected from things that may harm them, especially things that can give them life-threatening diseases. My dogs are now protected from such disasters with BUG BAM! mosquito repelling dog tags. The time has now arrived for 3 lucky readers to receive your own BUG BAM! tags for your dogs. All you have to do is enter this giveaway below on the Rafflecopter form, and stay tuned. Entries will be accepted through Tuesday, October 16. The winners will be announced in the evening on Tuesday, October 30. Good Luck!
Bug Bam! provided us with a package of tags to test and we love the smell. Tanner and Oliver wear the tag quite happily and the ingredients are notably good for repelling pests. I was not compensated for reviewing this product or for handling this giveaway. There is no purchase required to enter.
I know that the vets recommend Advantix and others like that; however, I just don't feel comfortable putting harsh chemicals on the girls all the time. I use a natural product called RediCare which works on humans as well.
The dogs obviously have heartworm prevention meds, and we use topical flea/tick/mosquito treatment, though I'm not sure how much it helps with the latter. We also spread some kind of natural, dog-safe repellent around the perimeter of the yard that helps some. Unfortunately, there are several periods of time where nothing helps, the mosquitoes are just too bad, and my poor dogs just have to spend most of their time inside. This tag would be great to try!
We've never used a mosquito repellent on our dogs before, mostly because I don't want to spray anything on my dogs. It never occurred to me to put a drop of citronella oil on their collars. This tag also sounds like a great idea.
The dogs are mostly indoors away from most mosquitoes and I give them HeartGard to prevent the heartworm larvae that mosquitoes carry.
I really don't do anything to prevent them, but I do bring the dogs in if they are outside at dusk during the summer. That's when I get bitten up, so I figure they might, too.
I keep them inside as much as possible and give them heart guard just to be on the safe side, I would love a tag for Molly, my baby that loves the out doors
I use topical commercial product to repel bugs on them.

Although Bentley takes Trivexis, I don't believe it prevents mosquito bites.
ReplyDeleteI don't like to put anything on my dog, but I will use candles and they are inside dogs, so when out I am out with them to watch.
ReplyDeleteI need to do more. Our new house has lots of mosquitoes.
ReplyDeletewe use a topical and stay away from lakes, ponds, etc (she hates water anyway)
ReplyDeleteI don't do anything but would like to find something that works :)
