Flea Treatment Tips
Unfortunately, Dogs and fleas come hand in hand at times. Here at Elm Tree Kennels we do everything we can to keep rid of those nasty little things.
We understand some dog owners aren’t too keen on using commercial flea sprays and shampoos, so here are a few, very easy to make, home made flea remedies which work just as well!
Flea Spray.
Mix 1 cup of water with 1 cup of white vinegar and simply pour the mixture in an un-used spray bottle and you’re good to go!
Flea Shampoo.
Mix 1 cup of filtered water, with 1 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar and 1 cup of Dye-free, unscented, liquid dish soap.
Use the mixture the same way you would use any other dog shampoo. Leave the mixture on for 5 minutes before rinsing.
If you want to repeal ticks and mosquitos at the same tim, you could add a few drops of lavender oil, lemon oil or peppermint!
