Sawyer Permethrin Insect Repellent for Dogs
Sawyer Permethrin Insect Repellent effectively protects dogs by repelling and killing ticks for up to 6 weeks, and controls fleas and lice for up to 35 days.

The spray is safe for various surfaces, such as seat covers, dog beds, kennels, and fabrics, and does not harm materials or finishes.
Benefits of Permethrin Spray
Permethrin is a synthetic form of Pyrethrum, which comes from chrysanthemum flowers. It has been used by the U.S. and Canadian militaries for nearly 30 years. The spray remains effective even after exposure to sweat or water, degrading only from UV light or washing machine agitation.
Permethrin bonds to hair fibers for extended protection, providing up to 6 weeks of defense against ticks and up to 35 days of flea and lice control. Once dry, it is odorless and won’t stain or damage clothing or gear. For the best protection, a topical repellent should be applied to exposed skin.
Application Instructions
When applying Permethrin on your dog, wear rubber gloves or mitts for protection. Start spraying at the tail, covering the entire body, including the legs and underbody. Fluff the dog’s hair to ensure the spray reaches the skin, but avoid over-saturating. Be careful not to spray near the dog’s eyes, face, or genital area.
This product is not recommended for puppies younger than 12 weeks. Consult a veterinarian before using on debilitated, medicated, aged, pregnant, or nursing animals. Permethrin should never be used on cats or other pets.
