Canine Store Total Dog Company Now Offering Natural Flea And Tick Products

April 21, 2015 – – Total Dog Company annouces that they now offer natural and chemical flea and tick removal products for the coming warmer months.

Total Dog Company sells a variety of kibble, canned, and frozen and dried raw foods, as well as grooming supplies, collars/leashes, toys, crates, beds, vitamins & supplements. They actively avoid dog food which contains harmful ingredients, such as generic proteins, fats, vegetable protein as a major source of protein, fillers such as brewer’s rice as well as avoiding all additives and sweeteners. Total Dog Company regularly updates their goods to ensure that they have the top canine products available.

“All of the products at Total Dog Company are carefully researched and selected to ensure only the best reach our shelves, including our recent line of products to kill, repel or prevent fleas and ticks” says owner Susan Weyrauch.

Ticks are pests that feed on the blood of animals and humans. The most common types are the deer tick (black-legged tick), and the American dog tick. Most are reddish-brown to brown in appearance and have eight legs. Ticks are most active in warmer months, typically from spring through the fall and live in wooded, bushy and grassy areas.

Similar to ticks, fleas are small pests that feed on the blood of animals. Fleas are a nuisance to pets as well as dangerous because they can transmit tapeworms and other diseases, and in extreme circumstances can cause anemia. Fleas breed very quickly and can spread not just on your pets, but in various stages in carpets, furniture, and bedding, Fleas can be picked up anywhere outside, and since females can lay 40-50 eggs a day, an infestation can happen in a matter of days.

“You might want to consider natural or non-chemical options if you are not afraid to touch fleas or ticks. I’m not squeamish about touching fleas and ticks and I’ve pulled them off of all of us without leaving the head behind. The chemical flea and tick control products are more powerful and work better (meaning, you’ll kill more pests) than the more natural products, but, in my opinion, it’s with risks that you should be aware of and accept when you choose to use them, says Weyrauch.

Weyrauch holds 28 years of experience raising dogs including 13 years of training and competing with dogs as well as working in pet retail for the past 5 years.

“We don’t sell anything frou-frou or frivolous or food with suspect ingredients. I can identify high quality dog food and gear and am committed to offering only the best to my customers,” says owner Susan Weyrauch.

Total Dog Company carries numerous brands including: Natural Balance, NutriSource, California Natural, Stella & Chewy’s, Blue Buffalo, and more. They also carry NaturVet S.O.D. + Boswellia, a popular supplement that helps relieve joint inflammation and pain in dogs.

Total Dog Company also offers a customer loyalty program, aptly named, ‘The Frequent Barker Program.’ With the Frequent Barker punch card, one punch is earned for every $10 in purchase. Customers receive a $10 discount off their next purchase after 12 punches.
