No More Ticks on Our Weekend Trail Hikes
We spend almost every weekend hiking through dense backcountry trails in the Pacific Northwest, and tick season used to cause me endless anxiety. I hated squeezing greasy pesticide spot-on drops between my Labrador retriever's shoulder blades because the chemical residue stayed sticky for days and smelled awful around the house. When I clipped the Pest-Shield Tag onto her everyday nylon flat collar, the transition was completely seamless. Over the past four months of regular trail hikes and brush excursions, I have not had to pull a single embedded tick off her coat. The silicone casing is durable, has survived multiple muddy stream crossings without losing its botanical scent, and leaves her fur completely clean. I can hug and pet her without worrying about toxic chemical residue on my hands.
