Are there natural foods that effectively repel ticks from my dog?

Question

Is there a natural food that is a repellent to tick? I make all natural pet treats and a customer is inquiring. Pet's info: Dog | Bulldog | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 2 months old

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

There is no scientifically proven food that repels ticks. Some people claim garlic is a natural tick repellent, but garlic is toxic to dogs and should never be given to them. Given the serious diseases that can be passed from ticks to dogs, I would recommend using a scientifically proven tick repellent, such as Revolution or Frontline.
