Living in Malaysia, where it’s summer year-round, makes us extra cautious after every walk. Even though our Yorkie Louie takes NexGard Spectra monthly, it doesn’t stop ticks from latching on. We started searching for additional protection beyond chewables, and that’s when we tried Walking Signal and Refresh Signal by G.Homelabs.
1. Why Ticks Are Dangerous for Dogs
Ticks aren’t just annoying—they can transmit serious illnesses. From inflammation and anemia to high fevers, the risks are especially high for young or immunocompromised dogs. Ticks can be hard to spot and remove, and scratching may lead to secondary infections.
That’s why tick prevention is a must—not just convenience, but a vital responsibility.
2. Medication Alone Isn’t Enough
Despite dressing Louie in bug-protective clothing and doggy goggles, I needed extra support. That’s when I looked into topical sprays, and Walking Signal caught my eye.
3. What Is Walking Signal by G.Homelabs?
It gained popularity after appearing on a Korean pet show, and dog parents have been raving about it ever since.
4. Louie’s Reaction
He’s a sensitive dog, and he accepted this spray without fuss. The scent was pleasant, not harsh, and I didn’t need to part his fur or rub it in. It was quick, clean, and portable—a perfect match for our daily walks.
5. What About Refresh Signal?
Alongside Walking Signal, we tried Refresh Signal, a deodorizing spray safe for dogs’ bodies and accessories.
Its light, fresh scent helped eliminate post-walk odors. I sprayed it on Louie’s harness, clothes, and bedding, and noticed no residue or stains.
We now use it in Louie’s bathroom area too. It adds a clean feeling to our routine, making it great for both dog and owner.
Reflections
I hope every dog parent can find ways to keep their pups safe and happy year-round.
