A monthly, plant based spot-on solution to repel ticks, fleas and mites. This product is licensed and is a winner of the Pet Industry Federation Innovation Award! 

A natural and effective geraniol-based tick and flea repellent. Don’t Bug Me is environmentally friendly and safe but effective, keeping those irritating pests at bay! 

An alternative to harsh chemicals that are damaging our waterways and wildlife, Geraniol is an oily liquid with a sweet rose scent. It is one of the few essential oils that's safe to use with dogs, cats and all other pets.

Once applied, the geraniol spreads across the skin and sits in your pet’s hair follicles. It disrupts your pet’s odour profile, repelling the irritating insects, for healthy, bug-free skin.

How Does Don’t Bug Me Work?: Geraniol binds with the General Odorant Binding Proteins (GOPBs) in insects’ antennae or other olfactory sensory organs, disrupting your pet’s odour profile and repelling the insects.

Can I Shampoo My Dog?: Like many spot-on treatments, Don’t Bug Me is water resistant, but not waterproof. Please re-apply Don’t Bug Me if your pet is regularly shampooed, or swims a lot. 

Directions for Use: 

Each pipette holds 1ml. Apply 1ml per 5kg of dog weight every 4 weeks.

For example, a 10kg dog would need 2ml (2 pipettes) every 4 weeks.

For an active dog, in and out of water or regularly groomed, living in a high-risk/wooded area, The Holistic Hound recommend reapplication every two weeks. Otherwise, apply every 4 weeks.

Application: Ensure that you empty the pipette fully and shake well before refilling the pipette. This ensures that the correct amount is applied.

Fill the pipette completely, part hair and apply directly to the skin from the neck/scruff area down towards the base of the tail.

Too many of our pets have compromised health as a result of breeding genetics, processed food nutrition, toxic environments, prescription of chemical based medicines and excessive vaccinations.

Now, more than ever, our dogs need their pawrents to make the best choices for them to give them a well rounded, long lasting, healthy and happy life. 

The Holistic Hound are dedicated to providing you with the means to do this, and take control of your own pet's health and wellbeing - mind, body & spirit.
