Natural Remedy For Dog Fleas And Ticks
I had a pretty traumatic experience several months ago. I was relaxing on the couch watching some TV with my dog and accidentally noticed 2 ticks right on his neck.
I had a pretty traumatic experience several months ago. I was relaxing on the couch watching some TV with my dog and accidentally noticed 2 ticks right on his neck.
This made me really mad because this is something that could have been prevented if I’d been paying closer attention, but it also taught me an important lesson about natural remedies for dog fleas and ticks.
I didn’t know how long those two ticks had been on his neck, but they were clearly engorged with blood since they were so large! Just like humans get infected by mosquitoes when they’re bitten by one, dogs can get infected by fleas and ticks as well. And if left untreated—like so many people are unaware of—it could lead to serious health issues down the line (for example: Lyme disease).
That’s why it’s important that you find out what causes your dog’s flea problem in order for you both to get back into tip-top shape again!
My dog absolutely hates baths so I knew that getting him to get into the bathtub wasn’t going to be easy. I went to my kitchen and grabbed some Eucalyptus, Spearmint, Lemon, and Peppermint essential oils.
The first thing you’ll need for your dog to help him with fleas is coconut oil. You can get it at pretty much any grocery store or health food store.
Next, you’ll have to get some essential oils from the drugstore or online. The best ones are eucalyptus, spearmint, lemon, and peppermint.
Mix 5 drops of each oil with 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a small bowl until well combined. Dip your finger into the mixture and smear it all over your dog’s neck; repeat as necessary
After mixing about 5 drops of each oil together in a small bowl along with about 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil, I dipped my finger in the mixture and smeared it all over his neck.

- This process was repeated on both sides of his neck and then again on his back.
- Since my dogs have double coats, I also applied about 4 drops to each side of their chest area at their shoulder blades.
The first thing I noticed was how immediately relaxed my dog seemed to become. He literally rolled around on the floor for about 10 minutes after application. In that time, he wasn’t bothered at all by the fleas or ticks that were still on him.
I noticed that my dog was relaxed almost immediately. He rolled around on the floor for about 10 minutes after application, and I could tell that he wasn’t bothered at all by the fleas or ticks that were still on him.

The next thing I noticed is that within an hour or two the ticks literally just fell off his body. They died and fell right off. His fleas also eventually died and after scratching them off with a comb they never came back again!
Okay, so it’s time to get started. Before you begin, it might be a good idea to discuss with your dog what you’re doing and why. Dogs like consistency and they don’t like surprises! Tell them that this is going to be a fun experience for the both of you and then follow the steps outlined below:
Get some water in a bowl and dip your index finger into it.
Now rub that wet finger on their belly or chest area (wherever ticks usually attach themselves).
If you see any fleas or ticks crawling around on them at this point, pick them off with tweezers or just put them in the water bowl too. Then continue rubbing the area where ticks were found with wet fingers until no more come off.”The next thing I noticed is that within an hour or two the ticks literally just fell off his body.
