Ticked Off? PetArmor Can Help! #TICKFREEFALL

I was compensated by PetArmor for my participation in this campaign as part of the Mom It Forward Blogger Network.

pet armorMy husband turns into a scared little girl at the sight of three things: any bug with more than eight legs (he’ll bravely battle a spider or lesser-legged critters), fat-free mayonnaise, and blood-engorged ticks. Last year, when I discovered a tick the size of a pea on our Boxer, my husband ran screaming into the other room. (Okay, not really, but he was pretty much useless when it came to helping me get rid of it.)

How’d it get there? I’m not really sure. Our Boxer doesn’t spend a lot of time outdoors, but every now and then he’ll pick up a tick. Just like the common cold, ticks just sort of happen. But also like the cold, there are things you can do to prevent them from happening. One of those things is PetArmor (for ticks, not colds).

We’ve started using PetArmor on our cats and dogs and guess what? No more ticks. PetArmor is effective for both cats and dogs, and it’s applied by squeezing a small amount of the product onto your pet just once a month. It KILLS the four major types of ticks including those that carry Lyme disease. It also contains the same vet-recommended active ingredient Fipronil that’s found in Frontline brand products, and provides the same protection against adult fleas and ticks but at a much lower cost.

pet armorYou’re probably thinking, “Oh, but summer is over, which means I don’t have to worry about ticks, fleas and mosquitos, right?” Truth is, these pests can stick around well into the fall season. Some ticks, like the American Dog Tick and the Deer Tick, are actually MORE active during the fall transition season. And while it’s true that fleas don’t like cold weather, they can live for a long time in a nice, warm home.

The adult stage deer tick actually begins its feeding activity about the time of first frost (or early October throughout its range), and it will latch onto any larger host – yes, including humans! – any day that the temperature is near or above freezing.

Bottom line: Get something like PetArmor and you’ll not only be protecting your pet, you’ll also be protecting your squeamish husband.

For more information about products that can protect your pet from fleas and ticks this fall, visit PetArmor.com or check them out on Facebook or Twitter. You can also find some helpful info about ticks (check out the tick identification chart) at TickEncounter.org.

  1. I have 2 dogs and a cat who all love being outdoors. So far I’ve yet to see any ticks. Not sure if they’re around but if I ever do see one I’ll be sure to get this.

  2. We are so lucky that our dog never brings in ticks. My sister in law always has ticks in her yard so we have to check anytime we visit!

  3. I am going to give this brand a try – hopefully works better than some of the other things I have used.

  4. This is a great post. I no longer have a pet but I will share this with my friends who do.

  5. Wow, this is a really good way of protecting your pets and its so easy to maintain the protection. I had never heard of it before, so thank you for sharing….

  6. I don’t have any pets right now, but we used to use this for our dog!

  7. I had not heard of this brand. Thanks for sharing!

  8. Good info. Thanks for sharing.

  9. sounds like a great product. I have a cat that doesnt go outside.

  10. While we don’t have dogs now, it sure is good to have this info for the future (BTW, I’m like your husband LOL)

  11. There is nothing worse than ticks and fleas. We started using capstar with our dog for fleas.

  12. Great product! Would tell my friend about this. He owns and sells dogs. Unfortunately we have no pets at home so I’d tell him instead. 🙂

  14. OMG! I’m like your hubby! I’d run screaming!!! I hate bugs!!

  15. My husband is the same way – particularly with bees!

  16. Great post–thanks for brining awareness–I will have to check this out for our Golden–it’s fall and you know that they love through the leaves and ticks love to jump on our doggies!!

  17. This post was so funny! My husband hates spiders and anything bug too! lol

  18. I find ticks creepy, that’s one reason i don’t like having pet but I do love dogs.

  19. Wow! I need this for my cousin’s dog! Ticks on dogs are really annoying!

  20. I always worry about my cats getting fleas and ticks, but the medicine can be expensive. I love Pet Armor.

  21. ticks freak me out for sure

  22. I don’t have any pets here, though sister has one. Maybe I can tell share to her. She might find it useful!

  23. I’m really glad to hear about this. I need something to help my three dogs! Thanks!

  24. If I had a dog, I’m sure I’d be using it.

  25. My children love dogs, I do too, but when it comes to getting rid of ticks, its always “Wonder-woman Mama” who has to do it. This product would really help protect our dog Tah from ticks.

  26. We don’t have ticks here, but we do have fleas! I finally have it under control for now, but I will definitely try this product out the next time we have a problem.

  27. I don’t have a pet at this time. But in a few years when the kids are older we’d like to get a dog. Thank you for sharing this information!

  28. Man, our dog dealt with ticks spring-fall! UGH! I hadn’t tried this brand before, but I think this is the one my parents use on their two dogs! Good reminder that we need to keep an eye on this as we go into the fall!

  29. I remember having a tick in my head once. So gross!!! I like that this also helps fight flea problems. They can be really hard to get rid of.
