In this article we will discuss about home remedies for getting rid of fleas in dogs. Fleas can make your dog miserable, so it’s important to learn how to get rid of fleas on dogs. Fleas are common parasites that live on dog’s skin. They feed on the dog’s blood and can cause plenty of discomfort. Fleas are small, wingless insects, closely related to the spider. At maturity, fleas can reach a length of 2.5mm, and have a reddish appearance due to the microscopic red crystals of haemoglobin that cover their bodies.

Home Remedies For Dogs With Fleas
- Wash your dog with flea shampoo. This is the most common and reliable remedy for fleas on dogs because it helps to kill the pests and their eggs. There are many types of home-brewed shampoos that you can make at home. To make one, mix warm water, a quarter cup of baking soda and two tablespoons of dish soap in a bucket or basin then use it to bathe your dog thoroughly. The best part about using this method is that it’s also very easy to administer; all you need are some basic ingredients that can be found in any household pantry!
- Use neem oil as an anti-flea treatment on dogs suffering from infestations because it has natural insecticidal properties which help get rid of these pesky critters by killing them quickly without harming your pet’s health at all (unlike other chemicals).
- Sprinkle salt over hard surfaces where your furry friend spends time such as their crate or bedding before vacuuming up any leftover residue if possible so nothing can escape unharmed during grooming sessions – this works especially well since fleas hate being dried out like this so much more than anything else!
1. Flea Shampoo
Flea shampoos are safe and effective when used on a regular basis. For best results, choose a gentle shampoo that does not contain harsh chemicals like parabens and sulfates that can irritate your pet’s skin. Do not use human shampoo as it may cause irritation to your dog’s skin.
2. Neem Oil
Neem oil is a natural insecticide that can be used to kill fleas on dogs. It is non-toxic and safe for your pet. Neem oil can be used to treat fleas as well as many other skin problems like mange, pink eye and yeast infections.
3. Baking Soda For Fleas
Baking soda is a natural flea repellent and can be sprinkled on the bedding, carpets, and other areas where your dog likes to sleep. It’s also a good idea to sprinkle baking soda on the dog’s coat before you give it a bath.
4. Salt Water
Salt water is another effective home remedy for getting rid of fleas from your dog. You can add salt to warm water, then wash the dog with the mixture. Make sure you rinse thoroughly so that all traces of salt are gone. Do not use this method around your dog’s eyes; be careful not to get any in them or rub their eyes! Also make sure that the water temperature is not too hot because it could burn their skin if used as an exfoliant (a process which removes dead skin cells).
5. Apple Cider Vinegar
- Apple Cider Vinegar: This is a natural flea repellent, and it’s also very good for your dog’s skin.
- You can use apple cider vinegar to repel fleas on your dog by mixing 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar with 2 cups of water in a spray bottle. Spray the mixture onto your dog’s coat, then let it dry before giving him a bath or letting him out into the yard.
- If you have an especially large problem with fleas, mix 1 cup of warm water with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, then add to the mixture above. You can also add 1 teaspoon of tea tree oil to this mixture if you prefer that scent over the smell of olive oil (though tea tree oil has its own benefits).
6. Pet Friendly Insecticide
This type of solution is not as reliable as the previous ones, but it can be used if you’re facing a flea infestation that’s particularly bad and there are no other options available.
Spray the insecticide on your pet’s fur. Do not spray it directly onto their face or into their eyes, since this could cause irritation and pain to them. Spray their bedding and surrounding areas as well, using enough to kill the fleas that live within those spaces. Make sure to use an insecticide that is specifically labeled “pet friendly” in order to avoid accidentally harming your dog or cat! If it doesn’t work after two weeks, try switching to another brand of insecticides until you find one which works for your pets’ needs
