Chemical Free Tick Prevention for Dogs

By Tina Janke

From Tina Janke, About.com Guest

Spring is approaching and with it the dangers posed by wood ticks, lurking in bushes and grass, waiting to leap upon an unsuspecting dog and burrow into it’s fur. Wood ticks can transfer disease organisms from one host to the next, including Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Colorado tick fever, tularemia, tick paralysis and more.

Until now, dog owners have relied on strong chemical shampoos, or monthly chemical treatments to keep ticks away. With the revolutionary new K9 Top Coat bodysuits, a dog’s entire coat is covered by breathable 4-way Lycra, leaving only its head and paws exposed. K9 Top Coat also offers a waterproof version for those wet spring days.

K9 Top Coat’s dog apparel is easy to put on and remove, and with the special sizing chart, each dog gets a perfect fit, snug as a glove. For dog owners who tend to shy away from chemical treatments, or just prefer to "go natural", K9’s bodysuit is a must. Express your own and your dog’s unique personality with the wide variety of colors to choose from, including a wild new plaid in bright spring colors.

Have your dog strut its stuff in K9 duds this spring, keep him safe from ticks and make a fashion statement. Check out www.K9TopCoat.com or contact Richard Lotz via phone: (888) 833-K9K9, or email: K9topcoat@aol.com .
