‘Amazing’ patches keep dogs tick-free naturally – no harsh chemicals


If your beloved pets have ever brought ticks home, you might have been tempted to use the most potent treatments available to get rid of these pesky parasites. After all, they carry diseases, are difficult to remove, can cause infections and make your pet uncomfortable.

But harsh chemicals in tick-repellent collars, sprays and drops can cause skin irritation, respiratory reactions, lesions and sometimes even worse. Pet owners can consider using Natural Patch, or NatPat – a brand dedicated to stopping ticks without the need for harsh chemicals with its Pet Tick Repellent Stickers. A pack of 48 stickers is available for £19, with discounts on bundles and further savings if you subscribe for regular delivery.

These small stickers attach to your pet’s collar, avoiding direct skin contact and remaining intact even during baths. They contain natural ingredients such as fractionated coconut oil, geranium, cedarwood, and vetiver essential oils.

The stickers are made from bamboo fibres, and their patented Aroma Weave technology ensures the oils retain their effectiveness and keep your pet safe, reported Daily Record.

NatPat’s Pet Zen Vapor Stickers, priced similarly, promise to alleviate your pet’s anxiety without chemicals. As fireworks season causes furry friends distress, these natural patches could be the perfect solution for city-dwelling pets.

With a stellar 4.4 rating on TrustPilot from over 3,500 reviews, customers are raving about the results. “Stickers arrived today, I put them on my dogs’ collars and they have already stopped barking,” one user enthused in a five-star review.

Another praised both the website experience and the product, adding: “The website is fun to navigate and delivery is prompt. The product itself is the hero though. Pet Zen helped my puppy to relax after surgery and the cone he had to wear didn’t bother him as much.”

A further testimonial highlighted the effectiveness of the patches: “These patches are amazing! We have been using the sleepy patches for the past two weeks and they have been like little miracles! No more struggles at bed time, staying asleep all night and not waking up randomly at 3am. Would definitely recommend!”

Some of NatPat’s other offerings have faced criticism, with mixed reviews regarding their efficacy. “The Mosquito Patch seems to work, haven’t gotten to test it too much. However, the stickiness of the patch is really lacking. The edges start peeling off within five minutes of sticking it on,” a customer expressed disappointment.

Another commented: “Products seemed great, but they aren’t really working as well as I expected…we’re still using other mosquito deterrents. It might be that we have an extreme amount in our yard.”

For those preferring traditional methods, a £12.97 dog collar that targets both ticks and fleas is a viable option. In contrast, spot treatments are up for grabs at PetsAtHome starting from £7.
