Summer Bug Alert: How the Trail Series Suit Protects Your Dog from Fleas, Ticks, and More

As the weather warms up, so do the bugs. From fleas to ticks to mosquitoes, summer is peak season for insect bites, and your dog is the perfect target, especially during outdoor adventures.

That’s why we designed the PawTrk Trail Series Suit to offer more than just waterproof coverage. It’s your dog’s first line of bug protection gear with thoughtful details that keep pests out and your pup safe.

Why Bug Protection Matters More in Summer (Especially in the East & Midwest)

If you live in the Pacific Atlantic region or the Midwest, you know how intense bug season can get. Ticks and fleas are rampant from May through September, thriving in tall grasses, wooded trails, and even urban parks.

1. Ticks can transmit Lyme disease and other infections
2. Fleas cause skin irritation and infest your home
3. Mosquitoes carry heartworm and leave itchy bites

The Trail X Suit is a tick-proof dog suit designed for high-risk areas, especially for summer hikes, campsite visits, or even neighborhood walks.

Built-In Natural Defense: Essential Oils, Simplified

Many dog parents use essential oils like cedarwood, peppermint, or lemongrass to repel bugs. The challenge? These oils don’t stay long on fur, and direct contact with skin can sometimes cause irritation.

Here’s where the Trail Series Suit steps in:

1. 🧴 Oil-Friendly Outer Layer: Our suit fabric is designed to be oil-resistant, so you can lightly spray it with your favorite pet-safe essential oil blend, and it won’t stain or soak in.
2. 🧼 Easy to Clean: After a long day on the trail, just wipe or rinse the suit. The quick-dry material makes cleanup simple, no fur scrubbing needed.
3. 🛡️ Barrier Protection: The suit’s full-body coverage creates a physical shield against ticks, fleas, burrs, and flying pests especially around the chest, belly, and inner legs.

Together, this gives you both natural and mechanical protection in one lightweight, breathable layer.
