Harsh chemicals and poisons don't belong on your pet. They simply don't. Look up how many pet deaths are attributed to reactions to major flea treatments and dips and you'll be horrified, I swear. This is the natural regiment that I use to treat fleas. Ticks I remove by hand.
Shampoo
1/3 cup glycerin
1 cup liquid castile soap
1 cup white vinegar
1 quart of hot water
10-15 drops rosemary essential oil
10-15 drops clove oil
Mix well and apply to dry dog. Allow to sit for 10 minutes. Wetten slightly and scrub pet until sudsy- especially in areas like under the tail, arm pits, ears and other infestion hot spots. Rinse with cool water.
Lemon Rosemary Flea Spray
Four sliced lemons
1 tablespoon of salt
6 cups of hot water
15 drops of rosemary essential oil
Bring lemons, salt and hot water to a boil, then allow to rest for 24 hours. Remove lemon casings, squeezing to remove retained juice. Fish out seeds. Add rosemary oil. Pour into a spray bottle.
Apply after the dog is bathed or as needed during an infestation. Can be used several times a day.
Flea Powder
Diatomaceous earth
Dried rosemary
Dried fennel
Dried yellow dock
Dried wormwood
Dried eucalyptus
Crush all herbs in equal part then mix with the mass herb's equal part of diatomaceous earth. Rub through the dog's fur and sprinkle in his bed and play areas.
Flea Collar
Normal nylon collar
2 tablespoons almond oil
5 drops rosemary oil
5 drops cedar wood oil
5 drops of clove oil
Mix oils together and soak into nylon collar.
If all else fails....
Rub neem oil into your pet's skin and hair drops at a time using your bare hands.
