Buzz Off: Burt’s Pet-Safe Bug Spray

It’s a no-brainer to protect your pet from fleas and ticks in the summertime by applying a monthly treatment, such as the fabulous Frontline Plus. But fleas and ticks aren’t the only creepy crawly creatures that can bother your cat or dog outdoors. Mosquitoes, knats, wasps and flies also can be quite bothersome, hovering around a pet’s ears, eyes, and bottom. Because our kitties and doggies haven’t quite mastered the art of wielding a fly swatter, we need to protect them from these annoying little pests.
Because some of the chemical compounds found in commercial insect repellent sprays can irritate a pet’s sensitive skin, it’s best to choose an all-natural version. Our friends at Burt’s Bees, the chic earth-friendly cosmetics company, have created a terrific alternative to stinky chemical sprays. Burt’s Herbal Insect Repellent contains 100% natural ingredients, including eucalyptus and lemongrass oils, proven effective in fighting the bug wars.
The best part? This is a universal bug repellent spray, so mamas can use it too! And with a light, lovely scent, you don’t have to worry about going out smelling like a chemical laboratory.
