Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I apply Scratch to my pet?
A: You have several easy options! You can apply a couple of drops to a brush and work it through your pet's fur. For bedding, mix 30 drops with 100ml of water and use it as a spray. Alternatively, blend 20-30 drops with 200ml of your pet's shampoo for an enhanced cleansing and repellent effect. For continuous protection, you can also add 2-5 drops directly onto your pet's collar, or add 5 drops to 20ml of olive oil, soak the collar overnight in the mixture, and refresh weekly.

Q: Is Scratch safe for all pets?
A: Scratch is suitable for dogs and horses. As with any new product, we recommend performing a patch test on a small area of your pet's skin before full application, especially if your pet has sensitive skin. This product is for external use only.

Q: Can Scratch be used in conjunction with other flea and tick prevention methods?

A: Yes, Scratch is designed to be a complementary part of your natural care routine. You can use it alongside other natural approaches.

Q: What else can I do to help repel insects from my pet?
A: Beyond using Scratch, several natural dietary additions can help make your pet less appealing to parasites:
Garlic: Raw, powdered, or in capsules, garlic can help keep parasites away.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine): This vitamin is exuded through pores and gives off a smell that insects find repulsive, even though humans can't detect it. It's particularly good for repelling mosquitoes.
Brewer's Yeast: Rich in B vitamins, Brewer's yeast can be given as part of your pet's diet or even rubbed into their coat as a flea powder for protective benefits.
Cider Vinegar: Adding a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar per pint of drinking water can also contribute to deterring parasites.
