Know The Risks - Protect Your Pet!
It’s summer – also known as mosquito season – and bee season - and wasp season - and fly season - and firefly season - and probably a million other different bugs season. What this means is the need for bug spray and repellent, but there’s a problem …
OVER-THE-COUNTER BUG SPRAYS ARE DANGEROUS TO PETS!
In fact, over 500 different products contain what’s called N, N-dialkyamide, an insecticide that can pose a serious threat to your pet, especially in higher concentrations. (1)
What’s worse is that your pet can’t even tell you that it’s in pain or what it doesn't like, making it that more important you opt for ALL-NATURAL PET SHAMPOO that’s DEET-FREE and made with ESSENTIAL OILS!

The first thing to know about over-the-counter bug repellents is that even a small amount of chemicals can pose a threat to your pet. In fact, even bug repellents with a little bit of the harmful chemical known as DEET can cause unknown reactions in dogs, causing itchiness and discomfort.
The problems can then worsen, causing extended exposure and even more health problems to your pets, including the saturation of their skin and irritation. Long-term health problems can also result, including seizures, lung problems, and tremors. (2)
The problem is that many people consider bugs the only danger to their pets in the summer, ignoring the risks over-the-counter bug repellent can cause. And although bugs like mosquitoes can cause your pets serious health concerns, some health problems – like Zika, for example – don’t always pose as serious a threat to your pet as some of these dangerous over-the-counter bug repellents.

Although labels should always be followed, it can be scary to know that deviating even slightly from the advisory on labels can pose serious threats to pets and wildlife. In fact, even fish and local habitats can be at risk of being contaminated by pesticides – even the organic over-the-counter ones.
Artificial chemicals and ingredients in over-the-counter bug sprays can cause severe reactions in your pets. Opt for NATURAL ESSENTIAL OILS that will repel ticks and fleas in GARNER'S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL PET SHAMPOO today!
It can also be dangerous to accidentally mix the chemicals found in these products. Accidentally exposing your pets to these chemicals is dangerous, as the chemicals in these products can accumulate on and around your pets, posing health risks in the short and long term. (6)
The risks posed by some of the over-the-counter pesticides available today are so dangerous that it’s advised you don’t even get them on your pet’s toys or bedding, as even indirect contamination should be avoided at all costs. (7)
