May is National Lyme Disease Awareness Month - Protect your pets!

May marks National Lyme Disease Awareness Month at Cape Cod Naturals. Warm Spring weather in  Massachusetts, New England & other part of the US mean outdoor tick & mosquito season is here! The goal of Lyme Awareness month is to educate the public, friends & family and help take steps to protect your family and PETS from lyme and tick-borne illnesses. The Lyme ribbon is a symbol to generate awareness about being outdoors - for us the green also means sustainable & environmentally friendly products! 

This month, be sure to take precautions for your pet too! While many are not able to make a trip to the Vet at this time with Covid-19, there are still ways to protect your pet. Try using a Cape Cod Naturals 'Insect Shield' tick or flea bandana for your dog  to repel ticks, mosquitoes & those pesky flies. (comes in a variety of colors from Earth Day green to patriotic to be ready for July 4th! Pet parents can also protect their furry friends by bathing them in natural pet repellent shampoo for days of protection (Cape Cod All Natural shampoo is made with lemongrass & eucalyptus essential oils to naturally repel bugs & ticks & give their fur shine indoors & outdoors. 
​
​The CDC recommends that people take precautions to help prevent lyme disease including wearing protective clothing when outdoors walking, hiking, camping & gardening & protecting their pets too applying an effective bug repellent (including products containing permethrin, Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (OLE), the active ingredient in Cape Cod Natural products.) Re-apply often and be sure to do regular tick-checks after spending time outdoors.
