How To Kills Fleas On Dogs
Introduction
If your dog has fleas, you have options. These range from over-the-counter treatments to natural remedies that are safe for both the pet and the environment. Read on to learn more about the best ways to control fleas in dogs and cats.
Flea shampoo
If you want to make sure that your dog is free of fleas, it’s important to buy a shampoo specifically designed for the task. You can find these at your local vet or pet store. They come in different strengths and varieties depending on what kind of skin condition your dog has (dry skin or oily). You should use this once a month for optimal results, but if you want to be extra safe, opt for year-round use! If it’s possible, make sure that you get some in their eyes as well as their ears—this will prevent any possible infections while they are bathing.
Dish detergent
If your pet has fleas, but he or she is too young to be treated with the recommended product, you can still use the dish detergent method. The same approach applies: wash your dog’s fur with the dish detergent and let it sit for 10 minutes before rinsing off. This will kill almost all of the fleas on your pup!
If you want, you can add some warm water and a couple drops of essential oil (eucalyptus or peppermint) for an extra layer of protection against biting insects such as mosquitoes and flies.
Vinegar rinse
You can also use vinegar to kill fleas on dogs. White vinegar is the best option for this method, as it won’t stain your dog’s coat or leave any unpleasant smells behind.
- Pour half a cup of white vinegar into a spray bottle. Add 2 tablespoons of water, and then shake the bottle until it’s well mixed.
- Lightly mist your dog’s coat with the solution, avoiding their eyes and nose as much as possible (if they happen to get some in their eyes or nose, rinse them with cool water).
- Leave the solution on your pet’s fur for 10 minutes before rinsing off thoroughly with cool water
Lemon spray
- Lemon spray is a natural and safe way to kill fleas on dogs.
- Fleas are pesky insects that can make your dog itchy, uncomfortable and miserable. You can use lemon spray to get rid of them.
- The citric acids in the lemon kills fleas by dehydrating them. This means that they will dry up, just like when you put salt on a slug or snail and it shrivels up into a little dried-up thing you can throw away! It also means that you don’t have to worry about any harmful chemicals being sprayed on your dog’s sensitive skin like many other products contain.* There are some things you should know before using this method:
