As a pet owner, there is nothing scarier than discovering a tick on your cat or dog.
And as the weather gets hotter, it unfortunately becomes prime season for ticks.
However, traditional chemical-based repellents for pets often come with risks, from skin irritation to dangerous side effects.

But one Aussie company is revolutionising pet protection with its science-backed Tick and Vapor stickers, with packs retailing from $26.
NatPat has created a safe and effective way to keep ticks at bay, formulated only with natural ingredients.
The all-natural stickers rely on fractionated coconut oil, geranium, cedarwood, and vetiver essential oils to keep your pets protected.
This approach offers a safer alternative to prevent irritation, skin lesions, or more severe health issues such as poisoning.
NatPat’s AromaWeave™ technology makes these stickers unique, by infusing biodegradable bamboo fibres with therapeutic-grade natural essential oils, providing up to eight hours of consistent tick protection.
While they are tough on ticks, the natural oils ensure that your pet’s senses remain undisturbed.
Each sticker provides hours of continuous protection so you and your pets can enjoy outdoor adventures without concern.
The airtight seal in the packaging ensures the stickers remain effective for up to 12 months when stored properly.
When it’s time to use the sticker, simply peel it off and place it on your pet’s collar or tag, it’s that easy.
Shoppers have given the tick repellent stickers a five-star rating on NatPat’s website.
“I had the best experience with the tick repellent stickers for my pet. I’m so glad I found you guys. So happy with them,” one person said.
“I had the best experience with the tick repellent stickers for my pet. I’m so glad I found you guys,” another shopper added.
“We bought these tick repellent stickers for our pets this summer. We are using them daily during our walks through the trails, and they work wonders,” a third person said.
In addition to tick protection, NatPat also offers Pet ZenPatches, designed to help soothe anxious pets, which also retail from $26.
These calming stickers are made with fractionated coconut oil, lavender, vanilla extract, orange, geranium, and clary sage — all-natural ingredients known for their calming effects.
The essential oils work by stimulating the receptors in your pet’s nose, sending calming signals to their nervous system and helping them relax.
