About Shieldgard

Shieldgard is a Philippine pet care brand that specializes in flea, tick, and general hygiene products for dogs. The brand is owned and marketed by AMN Shield, Inc., a Philippine company, and its products are widely sold through major e-commerce platforms such as Lazada and Shopee, as well as veterinary clinics, pet supply stores, and independent retailers across the Philippines. The Shieldgard product line primarily focuses on affordable over-the-counter (OTC) ectoparasite control solutions designed to help protect dogs from fleas, ticks, and other external parasites while supporting regular grooming and skin care. 1

History

The Shieldgard trademark was filed in the Philippines by AMN Shield, Inc. on 12 April 2019 for pet grooming products, including dog shampoo, dog soap, dog powder, and pet cologne. The trademark registration established Shieldgard as a dedicated pet care brand rather than a single product. 1

In subsequent years, the brand expanded into medicated flea and tick control products. Several Shieldgard veterinary products received registration from the Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA), allowing them to be marketed as OTC veterinary products in the country. Current registrations remain valid through December 2028. 234

Brand Overview

Shieldgard positions itself as an accessible and budget-friendly preventive care brand for dog owners. Rather than competing in the premium oral parasite medication segment, the brand focuses on topical hygiene products that combine grooming with external parasite management.

Its products are intended for:

  • Routine dog bathing
  • Flea and tick prevention
  • Reduction of external parasites
  • Coat cleaning and deodorizing
  • Basic skin hygiene

Most Shieldgard products are available without prescription (OTC), making them popular among pet owners looking for economical parasite-control solutions. 567

Active Ingredients

Shieldgard products use established veterinary active ingredients depending on the formulation.

Permethrin

Permethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide widely used in veterinary topical products for controlling:

  • Fleas
  • Ticks
  • Lice

It works by disrupting the nervous systems of parasites, leading to paralysis and death. Products containing permethrin are intended for dogs only, as permethrin can be toxic to cats. 23

Carbaryl

Carbaryl is an insecticide used in certain veterinary powders for external parasite control. In Shieldgard’s flea and tick powder, it functions as the primary active ingredient against ectoparasites. 4

Manufacturing

Shieldgard products are manufactured by different Philippine contract manufacturers depending on the product:

  • CARE ASIA HEALTH PRODUCTS INC. – Permethrin Dog Soap
  • S.A. Brand Expert, Inc. – 3-in-1 Shampoo and Flea & Tick Powder

The products are traded and marketed by AMN Shield, Inc. 234

Distribution

Shieldgard products are distributed throughout the Philippines via:

  • Veterinary clinics
  • Pet supply stores
  • Agricultural supply retailers
  • Online marketplaces such as Lazada and Shopee

The brand maintains an official online presence through marketplace stores where customers can purchase individual products and bundled grooming kits. 567

Target Market

Shieldgard primarily serves:

  • Dog owners seeking affordable flea and tick prevention
  • Pet owners performing routine home grooming
  • Budget-conscious households
  • Small pet shops and veterinary retailers

Its products are generally positioned below the price range of premium oral parasite preventives, making them a common choice for routine external parasite management.

Regulatory Status

Several Shieldgard veterinary products are officially registered with the Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as over-the-counter veterinary products. These registrations include approved formulations for medicated soaps, shampoos, and flea-and-tick powders. 234
