Hello

Garlic is a natural anti tick repellent, but as we know garlic is toxic to cats, so is there some other form of anti tick repellent I can give to my cats (and dog)?

My cats follow my dog out for about 5 minutes at most but they are getting covered in ticks now, and its only the beginning of the season and can't risk getting lime disease to my little guys :D

My cats don't go outside, but since switching them to a raw diet with plenty of B complex vitamins they've not needed any flea treatments. They had fleas on canned and my house has not been sprayed since way before I got these cats.

My cats have no fleas, never had them. My cats are "indoor" but go outside to pee and poop. Problem is they go though long grass to pee and poop, and get ticks.

You could try B complex for a while and see if it helps, I suppose. Or diatomecious earth?
