The weather has been odd everywhere.
It has been cold rainy Spring in most areas.
More Rain Means More Bugs.
I got bit by a bug when I was young and it was not fun. Just like last year, check out my photo below and click here to read my blog post.
There are many precautions that dog owners can take.
My mom always try to find the natural way to protect both of us.
Our friend from Earth Heart sent us a sample of Buzz Guard to test.
Buzz Guard was created by a master herbalist and certified aromatherapist. Buzz Guard is an all natural remedy mist for pets to repel mosquitoes, flies, fleas, and ticks. It is created with safe and healthy essential oils. What’s also great is that it is made in the USA, packaged in a BPA free container. Buzz Guard has been nominated for a Retailers’ Top Pick Award by Pet Product News International.
Last Sunday when I attended AWL Rescue PETNIK event,
I put Buzz Guard to the test.
We arrived to the venue event around 8 am.
It was located in a Forest Preserve.
It was early and the bugs where still waking up.
Sure enough as soon as I got out of the car BUZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz everywhere. Mom sprayed some Buzz Guard on her hands and gently spread it onto my body (everywhere – including my inner/outer ears, back of head, paws …). My mom also sprayed Buzz Guard directly to my cotton collar and harness. Mom’s bug repellant was not working well so she ends up using Buzz Guard by spraying on her clothing.
The Buzz Guard has a light fresh scent which did not bother me and quickly dissipated. The great thing was it did not leave any oily residue on my fur. Since PETNIK was a whole day event, we had to reapply it
(Buzz Guard only last up to 5 hours).

I had another opportunity to test Buzz Guard during my morning walk at my favorite park – where there’s a Prairie and a man-made lake. Oh! Yah there were BUZZzzzzing everywhere but I had a Golden Delight walk as they kept their distance.

Hey, Sugar. That sounds like a good product! It's been non-stop rain here all winter & spring, so I bet the mosquitoes are going to be rampant! I'll have to get some of that stuff.
Oh, I do follow your blog (who wouldn't) and I liked Earth Heart. Whoohoo Bring on those bugs!!
Sugar, that's good to know about. It's just starting winter here so the bugs are all tucked away somewhere. But we'll remember that for next spring!
