Your Pet Got Flea?
- Dealing with fleas and ticks is one of a pet owner's biggest problem.( I KNOW!!)
Here I'd like to share the ideas to take care of your pet without the chemical use.
safest and most effective ways to control fleas, which are killed by the soap and water. But don’t bathe your pets too often, because bathing can dry the skin. Unless your adult dog is unusually dirty, a bathe every month or two is plenty. However, in the case o fa bad flea infestation, skin problems or discharges, you may want to bather the animal every weeks. Select a good-quality castile soap or natural pet shampoo containing flea and insect repellent herbs. Or you can make your own insect-repellent shampoo! Here is the recipes~**
Add a few drops of essential oil (pennyroyal or eucalyptus or tea tree oil) to a bottle of natural shampoo or castile soap. (Do not apply these oils directly to the skin! They are too irritating) Vinegar-Water Rinse After rinse your pet thoroughly with plain water, follow with a vinegar water rinse(1 tbs white vinegar to 1 pint warm water). It removes soap residue and helps prevent dandruff. Pour on the solution, rubbing throughout the fur. Then rinse again with plain water. Flea Buster Deodorant

cool to body temperature. Pour it over your pet after the final rinse. Rub in and towel dry without further rinsing. Natural skin tonic : Lemon skin tonic Thinly slice a whole lemon, including the peel. Add it to 1 pint of near-boiling water and let it steep over night. The next day, sponge the solution onto the animal’s skin and let it dry. You can use this daily for sever skin problems involving fleas. It is a source of natural flea-killling substances like d- limonene and other healing ingredients found in the whole lemon. Notes:15 drops of fennel, garlic, lavender, pennyroyal, rosemary, sage, or sandalwood liquid extract can be added to the skin tonic. One or even several of these herbs will boost the anti-flea properties of this citrus spray. I would not use the lavender and eucalyptus on cats as they can be toxic to cats. Diet:
