How To Kill Fleas On Dogs Naturally
Fleas are the most common parasite that affects our dogs.
Fleas are the most common parasite that affects dogs. They can be found in every part of the world, including your home. Fleas are small bloodsucking insects that cause skin problems and anemia if they feed on your dog’s blood for too long. They may also transmit tapeworms to dogs, which can cause severe health problems if left untreated. If a flea bites your dog, it is possible for them to transmit other diseases such as tularemia and plague (if bitten by a rodent).
These tiny bloodsuckers can lead to major health consequences for your dog…from skin problems to diseases like tapeworms and anemia.
Fleas can cause a variety of health problems in dogs. They can lead to skin issues such as flea allergy dermatitis (FAD), tapeworms and even anemia.
For example, if left untreated, FAD can be extremely painful for your dog and even result in death. The tiny insects also carry tapeworms that are harmful for your pet’s overall health and well-being.
Here is a list of a few at-home remedies that you can use to get rid of those pesky fleas on your dog naturally!
- Flea Spray:
This is a relatively easy remedy to use, but it can be messy and smelly. If you have an area outside that’s not used often, you may want to consider spraying the area with this mixture. Just mix a few drops of peppermint oil and water in a spray bottle and then apply it around your pet’s bedding or any other areas where he hangs out. You can also add rosemary essential oil for extra protection against fleas.
- Herbal Repellants:
You can purchase herbal repellants from most health food stores or online retailers; however, these are often more expensive than other options on our list (such as apple cider vinegar). What makes them worth the investment? These products contain natural ingredients that are safer for your dog than harsh chemicals found in traditional flea control products like Frontline Plus or Advantage II.. This includes oils like citronella, lemongrass, peppermint extract and cedarwood essential oils which all work together to create an effective barrier between pests such as ticks or mosquitoes as well as fleas themselves! These solutions come in both liquid form so make sure not confuse them with household cleaners—those could cause serious injury if ingested by pets!”
Apple cider vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is a natural flea repellent. It can be used in a spray, shampoo and water to kill fleas on dogs naturally.
Mix one part apple cider vinegar with two parts water in a spray bottle. Spray the mixture over your dog’s coat to kill any fleas on them. Repeat this process every few days until all the fleas are gone from your dog’s coat.
If you don’t have time for mixing up batches of apple cider vinegar repellent, you can also use straight apple cider vinegar instead of diluting it first – just make sure that it doesn’t irritate your dog’s skin!
Herbal sprays
Sprays are an excellent way to keep fleas away from your dog, whether you’re using them on their bedding, carpets, or furniture. Furthermore, herbal sprays can be used directly on their fur and collar as well.
Other natural deterrents
Once you’ve gotten rid of the fleas, it’s important that you keep them out of your dog’s environment. If you have a cat, try to keep him or her separate from the dog until the infestation is under control.
Flea prevention products can be toxic to pets and humans alike, so it’s best not to use them if at all possible. Here are some natural deterrents:
- Cayenne pepper is said to repel fleas. To deter fleas with cayenne powder, sprinkle some on your dog’s bedding before washing it in hot water and soap (this also helps kill any existing eggs). You may also want to sprinkle some near where your pet sleeps indoors or outdoors; this will help prevent new flea infestations from getting started in those areas as well. However, keep in mind that cayenne pepper can irritate sensitive paws; if yours does not tolerate the heat well—especially when young—then consider an alternative treatment instead.* Garlic has been shown effective against many types of insects including mosquitoes and ticks; it has also been known for centuries for keeping away certain types of vermin such as mice! It doesn’t take much garlic juice since its odor is potent enough but don’t forget about using gloves while handling because prolonged exposure can cause irritation or allergic reactions.* Lemon juice contains citric acid which kills bacteria on contact without causing harm to animals or humans – just make sure not too much gets into their eyes! One tablespoon should do fine unless they’re really hairy; then half-cup should suffice even though most people only put small amounts at first because they don’t want their pets’ fur smelling like lemons after awhile since sometimes pets hate citrus fruits but luckily enough dogs love them so no worries here 🙂 If none available then baking soda works too – just sprinkle some directly onto affected area before going through wash cycle (however make sure not
Flea combing
Flea combing is a great way to remove fleas and eggs from your dog or cat. The process involves using a fine-toothed comb to gently brush through your pet’s fur, catching any lingering fleas or eggs in the teeth.
The main benefit of using a flea comb vs. other methods is that it allows you to treat your pets without having to use chemicals or medication. It’s also an effective way of killing off adult fleas that may be hiding in long hair and fur—something traditional shampoos can’t do alone!
There are many ways to naturally treat fleas on your pet.
There are many ways to naturally treat fleas on your pet. Apple cider vinegar, herbal sprays and other natural deterrents can be used in conjunction with flea combing or even alone as a preventative measure. For example, massaging your dog with peppermint oil before bedtime can help repel fleas and loosen any eggs that have attached themselves to the skin (1).
Apple cider vinegar is another natural option that has been shown to kill adult fleas (2). The vinegar should never be applied directly to the skin; instead use a spray bottle or towel soaked in diluted apple cider vinegar (3).
