“Ticks do not need a long hike to become a problem,” said Abdelhak Hacht, owner of DEWELPRO. “One quiet moment in grass, brush, or shade can be enough, which is why protection should start before the trip begins.”

Pinedale, Wyoming – June 21, 2026 – Summer outdoor trips often look simple from a dog’s point of view: a car ride, a trail, a campsite, a cottage weekend, or a few hours exploring somewhere new.

But for dog owners, those same trips can bring one risk that is easy to underestimate before leaving home: ticks.

Ticks are often associated with deep woods or long hikes, but dogs can be exposed in far more ordinary outdoor settings. Trails, tall grass, shaded paths, lake edges, campgrounds, rest stops, dog-friendly rentals, and backyard areas near wildlife can all create contact points.

The concern is that ticks do not always cause immediate signs. A dog can return from a trip looking calm and comfortable, while a tick stays hidden under the coat. Common hiding spots include around the ears, neck, belly, legs, tail base, and between the toes.

That delay is why prevention and inspection matter before and after outdoor travel.

A practical routine can include checking the dog’s coat after walks, avoiding heavy brush when possible, keeping dogs on clear paths, washing bedding after travel, inspecting gear, and maintaining steady tick protection throughout the trip.

For owners looking for a lower-maintenance option, the DEWEL Tick & Flea Repellent Collar for Dogs, available through DEWELPRO.com, is designed for continuous daily wear. The collar uses plant-based aromatic compounds to help create a natural scent barrier around the dog, making pets less attractive to ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes before pests latch on.

“Outdoor trips are often planned around food, fuel, routes, and weather, but tick protection should be part of that checklist too,” said Abdelhak Hacht, owner of DEWELPRO. “The safest approach is planning before exposure, not reacting after a tick is found.”

The DEWEL collar uses a flexible TPE base infused with cinnamon oil, eucalyptus oil, lavender oil, lemon eucalyptus oil, and linaloe oil. These ingredients are released gradually over time to support long-duration repellent care without harsh chemicals, pesticides, or nerve toxins.

The collar is adjustable up to 25 inches and intended for dogs 8 weeks and older. For larger neck sizes, two collars can be connected together for a proper fit. It is also often chosen by pet owners looking for a gentler option for dogs with sensitive skin.

For dogs already dealing with ticks or fleas, owners should first address the visible issue using their preferred treatment method, such as tick removal, combing, bathing, a veterinarian-recommended product, or another proven approach. Once the active issue is under control, steady prevention can help reduce the chance of new pests latching on again.

Because the collar works through natural oils, frequent swimming, bathing, or repeated water exposure may reduce effectiveness over time. Dogs spending significant time near lakes, rivers, rain, or water play may require closer monitoring and earlier replacement.

As more families bring dogs along for summer travel, tick protection is becoming less of an afterthought and more of a basic outdoor planning step. A trip may last only a weekend, but a tick can attach during one quiet moment along the way.
