Hitchhikers Away

The natural way to keep unwanted passengers away. Made in the UK, this powerful herbal blend is designed to make your pet an "unhappy environment" for pests. Suitable for dogs, cats, and rabbits from just 3 weeks old, it uses nature's most potent aromatics—like Quassia, Lavender, and Lemongrass—to discourage visitors and maintain excellent coat hygiene.

Why Choose Natural Coat Shield?

• Discourages Pests: formulated with Quassia Bark and strong aromatic oils. While these smell fresh and herbal to us, they create an environment that pests find highly unattractive, helping to stop them from settling in.

• Chemical Free: A gentle alternative to harsh chemical spot-ons. It is non-toxic and suitable for use on young animals (from 3 weeks) and sensitive pets.

• Incredibly Versatile: This concentrated formula can be used neat as weekly drops, or diluted with water to create a spray for the coat or household bedding.

• Cost Effective: One 100ml bottle is highly concentrated—providing enough weekly applications for one pet for a whole year!

• Home Protection: Because it is natural, you can dilute it and spray it around the house (skirting boards, carpets, bedding) to keep the environment fresh and hostile to pests.

Ingredients

Composition: Aqua, Quassia Bark, Sage, Cider Vinegar, Essential Oils (Lavender, Lemongrass), Homeopathic Blend (12x).

Key Ingredients:

• Quassia Bark & Sage: Traditional bitters known for making the coat "unpalatable" to biting pests.

• Lavender & Lemongrass: Strong scents that mask the animal's natural odour, making them harder for pests to find.

• Cider Vinegar: Supports a healthy skin pH.

How to Use

1. Standard Maintenance (Weekly): Apply undiluted drops directly to the skin at the back of the neck (between the shoulder blades).

• Dose: Apply a few drops up to one full pipette (0.8ml), depending on pet size.

2. For Sensitive / Small Pets:

• Dilute the solution 50/50 with water.

• Spray or wipe lightly over the back area instead of using concentrated drops.

3. During High Season (Intensive Support):

• If you are walking in high-risk areas (long grass/woodland) or notice your pet scratching, dilute 50/50 with water.

• Spray along the back area daily for 7 days.

• Once settled, revert to the weekly maintenance routine.

4. Household Spray:

• Dilute 50/50 with water in a trigger spray bottle.

• Spray bedding, carpets, and skirting boards to maintain a clean environment.

Patch Test: We always advise a patch test 24 hours before main use to check for individual sensitivity to essential oils.

Storage

• Store away from heat and direct sunlight to preserve the potency of the essential oils and homeopathic elements.
