DEWELPRO highlights simple prevention steps and a plant-based daily-wear collar designed to help keep protection consistent during everyday outdoor play.<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Pinedale, Wyoming &#8211; June 17, 2026 &#8211; <\/strong>A summer afternoon in the backyard can feel like the safest place for a dog to play. No busy roads, no crowded trails, no unfamiliar parks &mdash; just grass, shade, toys, and a familiar space close to home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">But that familiar space can still carry hidden risks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dogs can be exposed to fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes without leaving the yard. Grass near fences, shaded corners, damp soil, shrubs, and areas where wildlife passes through can all become contact points. The dog may come inside happy and tired, then begin scratching or biting days later.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">That delay is what catches many owners off guard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Fleas can enter the home on a dog&rsquo;s coat and later settle into bedding, rugs, furniture, and floor cracks. Ticks can attach quietly under fur, especially around the ears, neck, belly, legs, and between the toes. Mosquitoes can bite during short outdoor moments, especially around dusk or near standing water.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A safer backyard routine does not need to be complicated. Owners can keep grass trimmed, remove standing water, check the coat after outdoor play, wash pet bedding regularly, vacuum resting areas, and keep protection consistent before symptoms appear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For pet owners looking for a low-maintenance prevention option, the <strong>DEWEL tick, flea, and mosquito repellent collar for dogs<\/strong>, available through <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"DEWELPRO.com\" href=\"https:\/\/dewelpro.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">DEWELPRO.com<\/a>, uses plant-based aromatic compounds to help create a natural scent barrier around the dog. The collar is designed for continuous wear and helps make dogs less attractive to fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes before pests latch on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The collar uses a flexible TPE base infused with cinnamon oil, eucalyptus oil, lavender oil, lemon eucalyptus oil, and linaloe oil. These ingredients release gradually over time to support long-duration repellent care without harsh chemicals, pesticides, or nerve toxins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&ldquo;Backyards feel controlled, but dogs can still meet pests there,&rdquo; said <strong>Abdelhak Hacht, owner of<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"DEWELPRO\" href=\"https:\/\/dewelpro.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">DEWELPRO<\/a>. &ldquo;Protection matters most in the everyday spaces where owners least expect a problem to begin.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The collar is adjustable up to 25 inches, intended for dogs 8 weeks and older, and often chosen by owners looking for a gentler option for dogs with sensitive skin. For larger dogs, two collars can be connected together for a proper fit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For dogs already dealing with active fleas or ticks, owners should first address the visible issue using their preferred treatment method, such as flea shampoo, combing, tick removal, 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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Because the collar works through natural oils, frequent swimming, bathing, or repeated water exposure may reduce effectiveness over time. Dogs that spend time in sprinklers, kiddie pools, or wet grass may need closer monitoring and earlier replacement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A backyard play session may look simple. But in summer, the most ordinary place a dog loves can also be where a hidden problem begins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"caps\"><span style='font-size:18px !important'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/companyname\/dewelpro.com_176746.html\">DEWELPRO LLC<\/a><br \/><strong>Contact Person:<\/strong> Abdelhak Hacht<br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/email_contact_us.php?pr=the-backyard-play-session-that-looks-harmless-until-days-later\">Send Email<\/a><br \/><strong>Phone:<\/strong> +13073160270<br \/><strong>Address:<\/strong>34 N Franklin Ave Ste 687  1739<br \/><strong>City:<\/strong> Pinedale<br \/><strong>State:<\/strong> WY<br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> United States<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/dewelpro.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/dewelpro.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/press_stat.php?pr=the-backyard-play-session-that-looks-harmless-until-days-later\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Backyards feel controlled, but dogs can still meet pests there,\u201d said Abdelhak Hacht, owner of DEWELPRO. \u201cProtection matters most in the everyday spaces where owners least expect a problem to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.olympiajournal.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/599429"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.olympiajournal.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.olympiajournal.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.olympiajournal.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.olympiajournal.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=599429"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.olympiajournal.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/599429\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.olympiajournal.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=599429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.olympiajournal.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=599429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.olympiajournal.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=599429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
