Natural Defense Oil For Your Daily Dog Walks

September 16, 2013

I enjoy going for a long walk. I am especially fond of nature walks. It’s amazing how many “secret” gardens we’ve discovered on our walks. I Golden LOVE when my mom takes me to the pond and on a mini hike too.
Believe it or not bugs/flies likes my mom. She always gets bit. It’s been a constant dilemma for the reasons why she gets bit. Well, it means that bugs surrounds my vicinity too. Mom is always on a hunt for natural remedy/solutions for both of us to use.

Months ago, we discovered the product Natural Pet Herbal Defense Oil. It is a concentrated insect replant oil that consist of Neem Oil, Almond Oil, Citronella, Lavender, Rosemary, Sage and Cedar. It is 100% deet and pesticide free. These natural oil scents are safe and familiar scents for people but many biting bugs/flies/insects dislike it.

The suggested application is on a dog’s neck, back hindquarters and belly.
Due to my skin sensitivity, mom uses my harness to apply the oil drops.
We are INDEED! bug/flies/insect free on our walks.
Mom is a bit sensitive to smell. She says that the scent of citronella is strong but diminishes after a couple of minutes. Also, it is suggested to use on a weekly basis but since it is applied to my harness, mom applies it every 3 days.

Natural Pet Herbal Defense Oil is also used by many as a holistic way to prevent flea/tick. I’m fortunate that I never had any flea or tick. A natural flea/tick solution is applied on me every four weeks. The Natural Defense Oil is my added guardian against these pesky flea/tick.

Did you know that many bug/flies/insects/fleas tend to hide underneath piles of leaves and grass. Be extra careful and watchful of these areas where you walk your dog.

Important Ways you can adapt to avoid these pesky bugs/flies/insects/fleas/ticks

1) These pesky bugs/flies/insects/fleas/ticks are drawn to the weakest hosts. By feeding a high quality balance food, your dog will be in good health and have a strong immune system.
2) Grooming your dog is essential which consists of brushing and bathing. Cleaning your dog’s paw after being outdoor is a must.
3) Daily cleaning of your dog’s home environment particularly their sleeping area(s).
4) Mindful of your outdoor environment and activities. Use your best judgement in the areas you walk your dog.
5) Always consult your vet for preventative medications/natural remedies.

We give Natural Pet Herbal Defense Oil 4 Golden Paws.
Do you use a Natural Oil for your dog/pet?

Bath Time: TheraNeem Organix South Pet Soap Review

October 1, 2012

Beach Day is also Bath Time which I enjoy both.
I mentioned many times that I got allergies and have sensitive skin.
My mom is very picky with the food I eat and products I use for my skin.
There are only few good products that work and we recommend.

Last August 2011 we shared information and reviewed a product with Neem Oil.
We are very happy with that product and continued to use it.

Neem is a tree that is native to India and Southeast Asian countries.
It is also known as “Village Pharmacy” because of its many uses.
Different parts of a Neem tree are used to provide comfort and wellness for people and pets.
The most common one are Neem Oil, Neem Leaf and Neem Bark.

Neem is a safe natural ingredient with great benefits.

Recently, we were so happy to be asked to try a dog product that contains Neem,
Soothing Therape Pet Soap by TheraNeem Organix South.
Excited as this is our first time to use a soap bar.
Typically, a liquid shampoo is used during my bath time.

It smells sooooo good.
I have not started my bath yet but the scent sure was very soothing.

A quick rinse was needed to start my bath time.
Then, the FUN begins …
No need to scrub the soap bar on my skin it quickly lathered on my fur.
The soap bar did not break down and it smells soooo good.
My eyes were avoided during this process.

My favorite part of bath time … rinsing.
Keep in mind having a good amount and pressure of water is very important.
The soap rinses well, no residue on my fur.
What a refreshing bath! I Smell GOOD!
Golden Woofs! to TheraNeem Organix Soothing Pet Soap.

Here’s my Before n After photo.
The after photo was taken upon finishing my bath with a quick towel dry.
My fur was still wet and needed to be brushed/comb.
No skin irritation from the soap bar. My fur was so soft.

There’s no mischief during my bath time but I am joining Monday Mischief Blog Hop
because I am aware that many of you (my doggie friends) are not a big fan of baths.
Hopefully, this post will inspire your owners to give Organix South Pet Soap a try and so you can experience a calming and soothing bath. Also, we invite everyone to check out Organix South website as they also offer products for people too.

Oil Guarding Your Pet’s Buzz + Special Sugar Code

August 20, 2011

Way back in May, I did a review of Buzz Guard by Earth Heart Inc.

Click Here if you missed my blog post review.

The Buzz Guard has been my buzzzing guard during my walks/hikes.

Golden LOVE it because it works.

One of Buzz Guard ingredient is Neem Seed Oil.

Why is Neem Seed Oil used as a Natural Insect Repellent?

Here’s an article written by Vicki Rae Thorne,

master herbalist, certified aromatherapist,

maker of Buzz Guard and founder of Earth Heart Inc.

Outdoor pests can cause a variety of dangerous illnesses and problems, making protection a vital part of your family’s care. Insect repellents work by masking the human scent or mimicking a scent that insects typically avoid, and are helpful in preventing and controlling insect-borne diseases, such as malaria, West Nile virus and Lyme disease.

Because insect repellents are applied directly to clothing, skin or fur, controversy over the safety of commercial insecticides, particularly those containing DEET, has led to increasing development of natural insect repellents.

Claims abound that natural insect repellants don’t work, but according to reports issued by the Center for Disease Control, certain natural substances, such as essential oil of lemon eucalyptus, have been shown to be as effective as DEET in repelling mosquitoes.

Neem seed oil has been gaining popularity as a natural insect repellent for use on the body and in the garden. The oil is pressed from the fruits and seeds of Azadirachta indica, an evergreen tree native to India, where it has been traditionally used in remedies for a wide variety of skin problems. Neem at just one or two percent of the total product is also an effective insect repellent. Although neem has a strong scent that some people find disagreeable, it masks the scent of the wearer and can prevent insects from landing.

Unlike commercial insecticides that indiscriminately kill insects, neem oil only affects insects that chew or suck. When neem is ingested, it disrupts the insect’s normal functions. Some forget to eat, fly or lay eggs, or they may lay eggs that are sterile. Without food or larvae, the insects will die, leaving insect populations diminished.

This is good news for gardeners, too. Since beneficial insects don’t eat the plants, they are unaffected by neem, unless they are smothered during application of the spray. Plants will continue to be protected even if the spray is washed off by rain or watering systems, because the neem residue will be absorbed along with other nutrients in the soil.

Natural insect repellents such as neem can be a safe and effective alternative to commercial pesticides. The reality is that insect-borne diseases can be a serious health risk to people, animals and plants. Families may need to stock a variety of products, including chemical spot on treatments, that fit different situations and personal comfort zones – or stay indoors for a few days until the swarms have passed.

The full list of ingredients in Buzz Guard are

water, polysorbate 20; neem seed oil; pure essential oils of citronella, fir, geranium, rosewood, basil and myrrh; potassium sorbate.
