Get Rid of Fleas Naturally
Your dog starts scratching himself obsessively. You suspect fleas. What do you do?
Take him to the vet. You are told that your dog has fleas and will need a flea bath. Then you are told that you should start using some sort of preventative treatment for the rest of the flea season. You have a few options available to you, including a flea collar. But did you know that the main ingredient in many of these flea-control aids is insecticide? Scary? Yes. But what is your natural alternative?
Next time this happens to you don’t go running to the pet store to spend a good deal of money on poison. Instead, go to a health food store and pick up one of the following essential oils: eucalyptus, citronella, tea tree, lavender or geranium. By rubbing a few drops of any of these oils onto your dog’’s collar or a bandana, you will prevent a flea infestation naturally and safely.
This maintenance program is easy as can be and only requires a reapplication to the collar once a week. And as an extra bonus, your dog will smell wonderful all summer long!.
