A tick in a dog's fur, and clean fur after
The problem

One paralysis tick can turn a normal night into an emergency.

It hides in the fur behind the ears or under the collar. You don't see it, your dog doesn't show anything. Then, around day three, the back legs go wobbly.

1 in 10emergency vet visits in tick season are for tick paralysis (SE Queensland and Sydney's Northern Beaches)
73%of paralysis ticks on dogs are found on the head, neck and ears, hidden in the fur
~72 hafter a tick latches on, the first symptoms usually show. By then it has been feeding for three days.

Read the fine print

What's really in your dog's tick tablet?

Vomiting, tremors, wobbly legs, seizures. Bravecto, NexGard, Simparica and Credelio all list seizures as a possible side effect on their own Australian labels. In 2018 the US FDA warned owners and vets about it, and the FDA's public database now holds over 3,000 reports of dogs that died after being given one of these tick drugs.

A tablet works from the inside. The drug circulates in your dog's blood, and the tick has to bite before it dies. The dogcare pendant works from the outside, before the bite.

  • No tablets to swallow
  • No drugs in your dog's bloodstream
  • No monthly dose to remember

How it compares

Why owners are switching to the pendant

Bravecto says it kills paralysis ticks within 72 hours after they attach. That is the same window in which the first signs of tick paralysis can show. The pendant works from the outside, before a tick latches on.

The six plant oils around the pendant
Why it works

Six plant oils. One scent barrier.

Ticks find your dog by smell, body heat and breath, using a sensor on their front legs called Haller's organ. The oils in the sealed capsule release slowly and cover that scent trail, right at the head and neck, exactly where most paralysis ticks latch on.

  • PeppermintRich in menthol. Repelled 93% of tick nymphs on contact in CDC lab tests.
  • CitronellaRepelled ticks about as well as DEET in a lab study.
  • EucalyptusRich in 1,8-cineole. Turned away 76% of ticks in a lab test.
  • CloveRich in eugenol. Matched DEET against tick nymphs in the lab.
  • ChamomileDeterred mozzie bites in lab tests and softens the scent of the blend.
  • CedarwoodRich in cedrol. Repelled brown dog ticks in USDA lab tests.

Absolute game changer

My dog got ticks every single year. Since the pendant, not one.

No more chemical meds

I love that it's natural and smells great. My girl walks through the woods every day now. No pesky insects, no chemical meds that made her sick, just tail wags.

One for each of my dogs

I've got 3 of them, one for each of my dogs. No more scratching, no more fleas.

Finally something that works

I've spent hundreds on natural products that didn't work, but this one really does, and our boy is healthier than ever!

I was sceptical. Not anymore.

My dog's back to relaxed walks in the forest without me checking her for hours afterwards.

Clip it on and done

One of the best things I've ever bought for my girl. Just clip it on the collar and done.

Does what it says

Two dogs, two pendants. Both work perfectly. Finally something that does what it says.

Questions

Before you order

Does it work against paralysis ticks?

The pendant masks your dog's scent around the head and neck, so ticks, including paralysis ticks, are less likely to latch on. No product stops every single tick, so keep up your nightly tick check in tick country, especially after the bush or the beach.

Can I use it with my dog's tick chew?

Yes. It sits on the collar and nothing goes into your dog, so plenty of owners use it as an extra layer. Whether you stay on the chew is between you and your vet.

Is it OK for puppies and small dogs?

It suits all breeds and sizes from 8 weeks old. If your dog is pregnant or feeding pups, have a chat with your vet first.

Can my dog swim with it?

Yes. The oils are sealed inside a waterproof capsule, so the beach, the creek and bath time are all fine.

How long does one pendant last?

Up to 12 months from the day you open it. Swap it for a fresh one when tick season comes round again.

What's inside the pendant?

Six plant oils: peppermint, citronella, eucalyptus, clove, chamomile and cedarwood. They sit sealed in the clear capsule and release slowly over up to 12 months. No pesticides, nothing your dog swallows.

Which colours are there?

Green, pink and black. In a 2 or 3 pack you can pick a different colour for each pendant, so every dog gets their own.

What's in the free e-book?

The Paralysis Tick Guide comes free with every 2 and 3 pack. It shows you how to do a proper tick check in two minutes, the early signs of tick paralysis and what to do straight away if you find a tick. You'll get it by email right after your order.

Which collar size do I need?

Measure around your dog's neck and add two fingers. XS fits 20 to 30 cm, S 30 to 40 cm, M 35 to 50 cm, L 40 to 60 cm and XL 45 to 70 cm. Every collar is adjustable.

How long does shipping take?

3 to 6 business days, with tracking. Shipping is free on every order. You'll get an email with your tracking link as soon as your order is on its way.

What if it doesn't work for my dog?

You've got 60 days. Email us and we'll refund you in full, even if the pendant is already open.

Up to 12 months of protection, a free collar and 60 days to try it.
