Our natural solutions: The key to a vital dog during tick season

Temperatures are rising, and tick season is beginning. Ticks generally become active when temperatures consistently exceed 7 degrees Celsius, but geographical location, climate, and weather also play a major role.

Ticks often seek out dogs, cats, or even humans as hosts to attach themselves to. What makes ticks so dangerous is their role as carriers of pathogens such as bacteria or viruses. There are many different types of ticks and also many different diseases that they can carry. One of the most common diseases caused by tick bites is Lyme disease or anaplasmosis.

We all love long walks through the woods, playing and romping in the meadows with our four-legged friends. But often we can't enjoy these moments completely carefree, as there's always the fear of possible tick bites.

Tick ​​bites can transmit life-threatening diseases, which we want to protect our pets from.

Together with our veterinary practitioners, we have developed a natural product made from brewer's yeast and thiamine. This combination influences various metabolic processes in the body and can, among other things, lead to a change in the natural skin odor – barely noticeable to humans. This odor has a repellent effect on ticks and can therefore provide perfect protection.

A 2019 study showed that dogs fed a brewer's yeast-thiamine complex had significantly lower tick infestations than those not fed the complex. This suggests that a combination of brewer's yeast and thiamine may have a repelling effect on ticks .

What is in our tick shield?

Our natural tick protection contains a valuable ingredient: brewer's yeast . But what exactly is brewer's yeast and how can it help our four-legged friends? Brewer's yeast, a product from the world of fungi, is a rich source of important B vitamins . These vitamins cannot be produced by our animals themselves and must therefore be supplied through their diet or supplements. The elements contained in brewer's yeast, such as biotin and zinc, can have a positive effect on our four-legged friends' skin health and optimize cell metabolism . Combined with the first-class thiamine , brewer's yeast provides excellent natural protection for your dog.

Vitamin B1 , also known as thiamine , plays a central role in the energy balance and nerve function of our four-legged friends. It not only contributes to the formation of collagen – a key element for healthy skin and a shiny coat – but is also vital for your dog's well-being and performance . Although dogs can produce vitamin B1 themselves with the help of intestinal bacteria, the amounts are often insufficient. In addition, many pet foods do not contain enough thiamine. The solution? A high-quality supplement can help optimize your dog's thiamine supply.

Brewer's yeast and thiamine form a powerful partnership with multiple benefits. The synergistic effect of these natural ingredients provides support for skin and coat , as well as cell vitality . If your four-legged friend suffers from dry, flaky skin or even eczema, this combination could help relieve symptoms . But that's not all – the holistic effect of brewer's yeast and thiamine can also have a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract. The fiber present in brewer's yeast, in particular, can restore a healthy balance to the intestinal flora and help the intestinal mucosa regenerate.
