Safer alternative to tick preventative for dogs

[TriciaD]

Hello,
We live in a heavily wooded area with tons of ticks. I don't feel comfortable using conventional tick preventative. Is there a natural alternative I can use instead?
Thank you!

Welcome to HA! and thanks for making your first post Tricia.

Yes! There are lots of natural strategies.

Dr. Shelton's parasite-preventing essential oils are a good place to start:

Evict

Cedarwood oil has become a popular "anti-bug" recommendation, but often without safety, quality, and the addition of questionable ingredients being considered in popular products. Evict is a cedarwood based blend - and a wonderful addition to our anti-bug, anti-odor, and animal safe line up!

There are many other oils that can work.

Also, Earth Animals Nature's Protection products can work well:
