Ticks love doggie breath. They and other pests run, jump, and fly to odor and CO2 in search of breeding and feeding grounds. They swarm around dog heads, necks, and chests and they come loaded with their dozens of diseases and irritating saliva and venom. Yuck! And bug bites and stings can lead to all sorts of long-term ailments and problems: Lyme disease, malaria, dengue fever, and heartworm. This fashionable and functional Permethrin-treated bandana keeps ticks and other bugs away from their favorite feeding area. Safely. Invisibly. Odorlessly.
