Many of which have scary side effects (seizures etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We use an essential oil blend from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.daisypaw.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Daisy Paw \/ Collar Companion<\/a>. They have a few different blends for different purposes, but specifically, &#8220;DeBugged&#8221; is the one we use for preventing fleas and ticks from attaching onto the dogs. This is an oil blend of Lemon Eucalyptus and Lavender, which are safe essential oils for dogs. (All dogs are different, and I do encourage you to research too)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"284\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/labmom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-1.png?resize=284%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-401\" style=\"width:257px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also use a collar companion &#8211; a small metal oil diffuser that attaches onto their collar.
