If you’re looking for a natural solution to keep ticks away from your dog, then these Pet Tick Repellent Stickers from NatPat could be perfect for you
If your beloved pets have ever been victim to ticks, bringing them into your home, you might have been tempted to use the most potent of treatments available to get rid of these pesky parasites once and for all. And with good reason.
I mean, ticks carry diseases, are difficult to remove, can cause infections, and make your furry friend unnecessarily uncomfortable. It makes us sad just thinking about it. But before you resort to extreme measures – and without sounding patronising – consider the potential harm to your pets. The strong chemicals in tick-repellent collars, sprays, and drops can cause skin irritation, respiratory reactions, lesions, and sometimes even worse.
As an alternative solution, shoppers have been heaping praise on Natural Patch, or NatPat – a brand dedicated to stopping ticks without the need for harsh chemicals with its Pet Tick Repellent Stickers. A pack of 48 stickers is available for £19, with discounts on bundles and further savings if you subscribe for regular delivery. Alternatively a three-pack costs £35 with each pack costing £11.66 each.

These small stickers attach to your pet’s regular collar, avoiding direct skin contact and ensuring they won’t wash off during bath time. They’re made with natural ingredients like fractionated coconut oil, geranium, cedarwood, and vetiver essential oils, reports the Daily Record.
The stickers are crafted from bamboo fibres, and their patented Aroma Weave technology ensures the oils maintain their potency to keep your pet safe.
It’s not just tick solutions Nat Pat has. As we edge closer to the New Year – which will inevitably see fireworks being set off, terrifying pets in urban areas, NatPat’s Pet Zen Calming Stickers, priced similarly, promise to alleviate your furry friend’s anxiety and could prove to be a game-changer compared to more chemical relaxants.
TrustPilot rates NatPat pretty highly, with a 4.4 rating from over 3,500 reviews. One satisfied customer shared their experience with the tick-banishing formula: “These tick repellent stickers are fantastic for my cat. They contain no chemicals and are much less messy than topical treatments. So far, they seem to be working perfectly! We primarily bought them for our cat, so they get a 5-star rating for that!
“My husband also tried using them for our larger dog. We followed the recommendation of using 2 stickers, but considering the size, I think 3-4 stickers would work better.”
Another shopper said: “Stickers arrived today, I put them on my dogs’ collars and they have already stopped barking,” in a glowing five-star review.
A third praised both the service and anxiety-reducing product, saying, “The website is fun to navigate and delivery is prompt,” and “The product itself is the hero though. Pet Zen helped my puppy to relax after surgery and the cone he had to wear didn’t bother him as much.”
One pet owner raved: “These patches are amazing! We have been using the sleepy patches for the past two weeks and they have been like little miracles! No more struggles at bed time, staying asleep all night and not waking up randomly at 3am. Would definitely recommend! “.
However, not all NatPat products have been met with praise. One review stated: “Tried the pet Zen stickers for my dog’s separation anxiety. I was really hoping it would work as the next option is medication. I used the stickers for whole days and also for short periods of time. Unfortunately it had no effect on my dog”
Another customer added of the brand’s mosquito repellent patches: “Products seemed great, but they aren’t really working as well as I expected… we’re still using other mosquito deterrents. It might be that we have an extreme amount in our yard.”
If you prefer a traditional collar solution for your pet, there’s a £12.97 option on Amazon for dogs that tackles both ticks and fleas. Alternatively, PetsAtHome offers spot treatments starting from £6.
