If You Have Been Searching For This
The outdoors should be the fun part, not the itchy part.
Tall grass, wooded trails, and long summer evenings are the best part of having a dog, and also where the bugs live. TickWise is a natural way to make those outings more comfortable, a plant-based spray you spritz on before heading out to help keep ticks and mosquitoes from settling in. Here are the reasons natural-minded households reach for it.
"I want to keep bugs off my dog without harsh chemicals"
This is the clean choice, a natural spray built on plant-based essential oils that help deter ticks and mosquitoes, with none of the synthetic stuff.
"We hike and camp, and I want some natural bug protection"
TickWise is made for the trail, a natural spray to spritz on before you head into the grass and woods, reapplied through the day to help keep the biters at bay.
"I want a bug spray that is actually screened for safety"
TickWise is MADE SAFE certified, independently verified free of ingredients known to harm health, which matters a lot for something you spray on a dog who licks their paws.
"My dog has sensitive skin and hates harsh sprays"
Reviewers with sensitive dogs love that this natural formula is gentler than many, non-greasy and fast-absorbing with a light lemon-vanilla scent instead of a chemical smell.
"I want to know which natural oils actually repel ticks"
This blend uses the classic botanical repellents, cedarwood, lemongrass, geranium, citronella, peppermint, and rosemary, the oils most associated with deterring ticks and mosquitoes.
"I want a natural spray from a small, values-driven brand"
TickWise is made in the USA by a women-owned small business, plant-based and thoughtfully made, exactly the kind of maker a clean household likes to support.
Why Natural-Minded Households Reach For This
Plant oils bugs dislike, and none of the harsh stuff.
Tall grass, wooded trails, and long summer evenings are the best part of having a dog, and also where the bugs live. TickWise is a natural way to make those outings more comfortable, a plant-based spray you spritz on before a walk, a hike, or a romp in the yard to help keep ticks and mosquitoes from settling in for a bite. The formula is built on a blend of essential oils that bugs famously dislike. Cedarwood and lemongrass lead, joined by geranium, citronella, peppermint, and rosemary, the classic botanical lineup for deterring ticks and mosquitoes. There are none of the harsh synthetic chemicals of a conventional bug spray here, just plant-based oils in a simple base of vinegar, water, and plant glycerin. It goes on light and non-greasy, dries quickly, and leaves a fresh lemon-vanilla scent rather than a chemical cloud.
What sets this one apart for a clean-minded household is the certification. TickWise is MADE SAFE certified, an independent screen that verifies a product is made without ingredients known to harm health. For a spray you are putting on a dog before they roll in the grass and then lick their paws, that kind of third-party verification is worth a lot. It is made in the USA by a women-owned small business, too. And here is a little honesty about what a natural repellent is and is not: plant-based sprays help deter bugs and reduce bites, but they are a gentle, short-acting layer rather than an impenetrable shield, so reapply often, especially on long days outdoors.
What This Looks Like On A Walk
Six things a natural bug spray does.
Picture the pre-walk routine at the door, or the trailhead before a hike through tall grass. This is easy, natural bug protection you build into the outing. Here is what a few spritzes do, in plain terms.
A light layer before you head out
You shake well and spray a light, even layer over the coat before going outside, focusing on the legs, belly, and underside, the areas that brush through grass, and keeping clear of the eyes, nose, and mouth.
Cedarwood and geranium help deter ticks
Cedarwood anchors the blend as one of the most trusted plant oils for helping deter ticks, with geranium, another botanical favorite for tick deterrence, right alongside it.
Lemongrass and citronella take on mosquitoes
These two bright, citrusy oils are the classic natural choices for helping keep mosquitoes and other flying biters away, and they carry much of the fresh scent too.
Lightweight and non-greasy, it absorbs fast
This is the part owners notice first. It sprays on light, sinks in within moments, and leaves no oily film, no slick patches, and no greasy marks on the sofa or the car seat. Just a fresh lemon-vanilla scent from the plant-based vanillin in the base rather than a chemical cloud, on a coat that feels clean to the touch.
Reapply through a long day out
Natural oils are short-acting, so you reapply as needed through the day, and sooner if a dog gets wet or swims. Keeping a bottle handy makes it a quick grab-and-go habit.
A tick check finishes the routine
After walks in tall grass or woods, a quick tick check when you come inside rounds out the routine, running your hands over the coat and skin as a natural companion to the spray.
Why this spray over the rest of the shelf? It is a clean, sensible answer to bug season. It leans on the classic botanical repellents to help deter ticks and mosquitoes, skips the harsh synthetic chemicals entirely, and backs it up with MADE SAFE certification, which is rare and reassuring for something you spray on a dog who licks their coat. It is non-greasy, smells fresh, and comes from a women-owned small business making the kind of clean product a natural household roots for.
This is a clean, plant-powered bite deterrent. A blend of cedarwood, lemongrass, geranium, citronella, peppermint, and rosemary essential oils helps deter ticks and mosquitoes, with a MADE SAFE certification behind it. It is a gentle, short-acting layer to reapply often, best paired with daily tick checks, not a permanent shield.
The outdoors should be the fun part, not the itchy part. This natural blend of cedarwood, lemongrass, geranium, and citronella essential oils helps deter ticks and mosquitoes so a dog can explore in more comfort, naturally.
The Most Important Thing To Know
A natural deterrent, used the smart way.
It helps deter bites, plant-based and clean. The blend leans on the classic botanical repellents, cedarwood, lemongrass, geranium, citronella, peppermint, and rosemary, to help deter ticks and mosquitoes during outdoor time, with none of the harsh synthetic chemicals of a conventional bug spray.
Reapply often, and pair it with tick checks. Here is the honest part: a natural spray is a deterrent that reduces bites, not a permanent shield, and essential oils are short-acting. So reapply through the day, and in areas where ticks carry disease, keep TickWise alongside daily tick checks and the tick prevention a vet recommends, not in place of them.
For dogs, not cats. Essential oil blends like this are formulated for dogs and are not appropriate for cats, whose bodies process these compounds very differently. Use a light layer, avoid the eyes, nose, and mouth, patch-test a sensitive dog first, and take extra care around puppies, pregnant dogs, and dogs with a history of seizures.
What's Inside And Why It Matters
Six botanical oils, one clean base.
Here is the blend in measured terms, oil by oil, plus the simple base that carries them and the certification behind it all.
Cedarwood Oil
The Cornerstone · Tick Deterrent
A cornerstone of natural bug repellents. Cedarwood is one of the most trusted plant oils for helping deter ticks and other crawling insects, and it anchors this blend.
Lemongrass & Citronella Oils
The Mosquito Duo
These two bright, citrusy oils are the classic natural choices for helping keep mosquitoes and other flying biters away, and they carry much of the fresh scent too.
Geranium Oil
The Botanical Tick Favorite
Geranium is one of the more talked-about botanical oils for tick deterrence, a fragrant favorite in natural repellent blends, sitting right alongside the cedarwood.
Peppermint & Rosemary Oils
The Aromatic Finishers
Two aromatic herbs that bugs tend to avoid. They round out the blend with a crisp, clean scent and add to its bug-deterring character.
A Simple, Clean Base
Vinegar · Water · Plant Vanillin & Glycerin
The oils are carried in white vinegar, water, and plant-based vanillin and glycerin, nothing synthetic. The vanillin softens the sharpness of the oils into that signature lemon-vanilla scent, and helps the blend feel gentle and non-greasy.
MADE SAFE certified and clean
The whole formula is MADE SAFE certified and free of harsh synthetic chemicals, which is exactly what a label-reader wants in something applied to a dog who will inevitably lick their coat. It is made in the USA by a women-owned small business, and independently screened free of ingredients known to harm health.
What To Look For
What makes a natural bug spray worth using.
Not every natural bug spray is built the same, so four things separate a clean, sensible repellent worth reaching for from the rest, and here is what to look for, plus how this one measures up on each.
The classic botanical oils
Look for the plant oils most associated with deterring bugs, cedarwood and geranium for ticks, lemongrass and citronella for mosquitoes, rather than a vague botanical blend.
All six classic repelling oils in one blend
Real third-party screening
On something a dog wears and licks, look for independent verification, not just a clean-sounding label. A MADE SAFE certification is about as rigorous as it gets.
MADE SAFE certified and independently screened
Gentle and easy to use
A spray you will use often should feel good, so look for a non-greasy, fast-drying formula with a fresh natural scent rather than a heavy, chemical-smelling one.
Non-greasy, fast-drying, lemon-vanilla scent
Honesty about what it is
Look for a brand honest that a natural spray is a deterrent to reapply and pair with tick checks, not one promising a guaranteed, permanent shield.
An honest deterrent, not an overclaim
When To Use It
Made for time in the grass and woods.
Hikes and camping
Before the trail, spray a light layer on the legs and belly that brush through grass, and pack the bottle to reapply through a long day out.
Walks through tall grass
For the everyday walk that cuts through grass, brush, or the edge of the woods, a quick spritz at the door helps deter the ticks and mosquitoes waiting there.
Evenings and yard time
For long summer evenings and time near water when mosquitoes are out, lemongrass and citronella help keep the flying biters off during yard play.
A clean, low-tox routine
For the household that wants bug protection without harsh synthetic chemicals, it is a MADE SAFE certified, plant-based grab-and-go for every outing.
Is This Right For Your Dog?
This belongs in your kit if your dog...
Spends time in grass, woods, or tall brush
Joins you for hikes, camping, or trips to the lake

Lives an active, outdoorsy, adventure-filled life

Prefers a fresh lemon-vanilla scent to a chemical smell

How To Use It
Spray before you go, reapply as you play.
Shake well, then spray a light, even layer over the coat before heading outdoors, focusing on the legs, belly, and underside, and rubbing it gently through the fur so it reaches the coat evenly.
Shake and spray before outdoor time. Apply a light, even layer over the coat, concentrating on the legs, belly, and underside that brush through grass. Avoid the eyes, nose, and mouth, and rub it gently through the fur.
Reapply often. Natural essential oils are short-acting and wear off faster than synthetic sprays, so reapply every couple of hours during long outdoor stretches, and sooner if a dog gets wet or swims.
Finish with a tick check. After time in tall grass or woods, do a quick tick check as part of coming inside, running your hands over the coat and skin. Try a small patch first if a dog has very sensitive skin.
Storage. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sun, and keep the bottle capped so the oils stay fresh.
Good to know. This is a natural bite deterrent that helps reduce bites, not a guaranteed shield, so in areas where ticks carry disease, keep up daily tick checks and the tick prevention a vet recommends. This blend is for dogs, not cats, and is best used with care around puppies, pregnant dogs, and dogs with a history of seizures. This is a repellent, not a medicine, and does not treat or prevent any disease.
Works Well With
Round out a smart outdoor routine.
TickWise is the natural bug protection, and these companions complete a smart, natural outdoor routine from complementary angles.
The natural companion. Even the best routine means the occasional tick, so a proper removal tool lets you remove one quickly and completely if you find it during a check, from the same brand.
A healthy skin barrier is a dog's first line of defense outdoors, so omega-3 support for skin and coat complements a bug-season routine from within.
For the odd bite or the dry, hardworking paws that come with an outdoor life, a gentle natural balm brings comfort and moisture after the adventure.
A quick note on grooming wipes. A pack of natural grooming or paw wipes is handy for clearing debris, pollen, and any hitchhikers off the coat and paws after a grassy adventure, before they settle in.

what is a natural way to keep ticks off my dog
A layered approach works best.

does a natural tick spray work on dogs
Natural sprays help deter ticks and reduce bites, and many owners find them a truly useful part of their routine. The honest caveat is that essential oils are short-acting, so they need frequent reapplication and work as a deterrent rather than a guaranteed shield. Pairing the spray with regular tick checks is what makes the approach effective.
what is a natural mosquito repellent for dogs
Lemongrass and citronella are the natural mosquito-repelling stars, and both anchor this blend alongside cedarwood and geranium. TickWise is a plant-based way to help keep mosquitoes off a dog during evening walks and time near water, reapplied as needed since natural oils fade faster than synthetics.
can i use natural bug spray on my dog for hiking
Yes, that is exactly what TickWise is made for. Spray a light layer before you hit the trail, concentrating on the legs and belly that brush through grass, and reapply through the day. Pack it in your hiking bag, and make a tick check part of your post-hike routine, especially after wooded or grassy trails.
what is the best natural tick repellent for dogs
The best natural repellent is a plant-based one you will actually use consistently, paired with tick checks. TickWise fits the bill, with a MADE SAFE certified blend of the classic tick-deterring oils, a pleasant scent, and a non-greasy feel. Consistency and reapplication matter more than any single product.
is tickwise safe for dogs
TickWise is a plant-based, MADE SAFE certified spray designed for use on dogs. Apply a light layer, avoid the face, and patch-test sensitive dogs. It is for dogs, not cats, and should be used with extra care around puppies, pregnant dogs, and dogs with a history of seizures. Reapply as needed for ongoing protection.
What's in TickWise?
A blend of natural essential oils, cedarwood, geranium, citronella, peppermint, lemongrass, and rosemary, in a base of white vinegar, water, plant-based vanillin, and plant-based glycerin. There is no synthetic fragrance. The whole formula is MADE SAFE certified and made in the USA by a women-owned business.
Is it greasy or heavy on the coat?
No, and this is one of the things owners mention most. It is a lightweight, fast-absorbing spray rather than an oily one, so it sinks in within moments and leaves no slick film, no heavy residue, and no greasy marks on furniture or car seats. A light layer is all it takes, and the coat feels clean and dry to the touch, with a fresh lemon-vanilla scent instead of a chemical smell.
How often do I reapply?
More often than a synthetic spray, and that is the honest tradeoff for going natural. Essential oils are effective but short-acting, so reapply every couple of hours during long outdoor stretches, and sooner if a dog gets wet or swims. Keeping a bottle handy makes reapplying easy.
Can I use this on my cat?
No. This blend is formulated for dogs, and essential oil repellents like this are not appropriate for cats, whose bodies process these compounds very differently. Keep TickWise to a dog, and ask a vet about suitable options for other family members.
Is it safe for puppies or pregnant dogs?
Use extra care here. Because essential oils are potent, it is best to check with a vet before using TickWise on a very young puppy, a pregnant or nursing dog, or a dog with a history of seizures. For most healthy adult dogs, a light application before outdoor time is the way to go.
