2
Check Mobility
Make sure the pendant doesn't obstruct your pet's movement and adjust accordingly so they're comfortable.

Some pets need a day or two to get used to the scent. If your pet seems bothered, keep the pendant on but give them extra treats and attention.
4
Check Monthly
Check the pendant monthly and swap it out as necessary for best results. Each pendant is effective for up to 3 months ⁺when used as directed.
5
Remove Before Bathing
Take off the pendant before bathing or heavy water activity to help it last longer.

Quick Setup (Takes About 5 Minutes)
What to Expect
Paw Guardian uses plant-powered essential oils to create a scent barrier that repels fleas and ticks. Here's what's normal:
🌿🐶
Getting Started
The essential oils begin creating a scent barrier around your pet right away ⁺when used as directed. Most pets adjust to wearing the pendant within a few days. If your pet seems sensitive to the scent at first, that's normal - just give them some extra positive attention.
🐶🛡️
You Might Still See Some Fleas
Paw Guardian prevents new fleas and ticks from jumping onto your pet, but any fleas that were already there before you put the pendant on might take some time to leave naturally. Also, if there are fleas in your carpets, furniture, or yard, you might still see them around even though your pet is now protected.
Signs It's Working:
Your pet stops scratching at new bite areas
You don't find new fleas when petting them
Your pet can enjoy outdoor time without picking up new pests
Less pest activity overall on your pet
🔧Common Questions We Get
Here's what we've learned from helping thousands of pet owners:
Issue
What to Do
Can't figure out how to attach it
Look for the openings on both sides of the pendant. Thread your pet's collar or harness strap through these openings - just like threading a belt. For harnesses, use the chest or back strap that sits against your pet's body.
My pet doesn't like the smell
Some pets are sensitive to new scents. Keep the pendant on but give your pet extra positive attention and treats. Most pets adjust within a day or two. The scent will also become less noticeable as the oils settle.
I'm still seeing fleas after a few days
The pendant prevents new fleas from jumping on your pet, but any fleas that were already there before you put it on might take some time to leave naturally. Your pet is protected from new flea bites right away.
Doesn't seem to work on my small pet
Small pets can be just as protected as larger ones. Make sure the pendant is positioned where your pet's body heat can help spread the scent. Sometimes smaller pets need a couple extra days to see full effects.
Pendant seems loose or falls off
Double-check that the collar or harness strap is fully threaded through both side openings. The pendant should sit snugly against the strap without sliding around much.
How long does it really last?
Each pendant is effective for up to 3 months ⁺when used as directed. Check it monthly and swap it out when you notice the scent fading or if you're not seeing the same level of protection.
❓Your Questions Answered
How do I attach Paw Guardian to my pet's collar or harness?

Just slide your pet's collar or harness straps through the openings on either side of the pendant. It works with any standard collar width or harness strap - no special hardware needed. For harnesses, thread the chest or back strap through so the pendant sits comfortably against your pet's body.

Why am I still seeing fleas after putting Paw Guardian on my pet?

Paw Guardian works by keeping new fleas and ticks from jumping onto your pet, but any fleas that were already on your pet before you put the pendant on may take some time to leave on their own. Also, if there are fleas living in your carpets, furniture, or yard, you might still see them around your house even though your pet is now protected.

How does Paw Guardian work?

Paw Guardian uses a blend of essential oils including citronella, cinnamon, peppermint, lemongrass, and thyme to create a natural scent barrier that repels fleas and ticks. Just attach it to your pet's collar and it provides up to 3 months of continuous protection before you need to replace it ⁺when used as directed.

What sizes of pets can wear Paw Guardian?

Paw Guardian is designed to fit pets of all sizes - both dogs and cats! It easily attaches to any standard collar or harness.

Can my pet wear Paw Guardian while swimming or bathing?

Paw Guardian can handle rain, splashes, and outdoor activities. However, for maximum effectiveness, it's best to remove it before bathing or heavy water activity since too much water exposure can make the pendant wear out faster.

Does Paw Guardian really help track my pet?

Yes! The pendant has a built-in slot for an Apple AirTag (sold separately), so you can keep track of your pet's location in real-time. Just slide the AirTag into the designated slot on the pendant.
