Fleas can be a nuisance on your dog. They may even cause anemia and tapeworms, which means they need to be treated and dealt with immediately. This article will show you how to get rid of fleas on dogs in your home. Fleas can be very bothersome and sometimes cause more problems than you would expect. However, there is a natural way to kill fleas on a dog which could be your best solution for getting rid of their itchiness and the severe bleeding you experience from them.
Natural Way To Kill Fleas On A Dog
Mix lemon, eucalyptus oil and sulphur powder
Mix lemon, eucalyptus oil and sulphur powder.
Lemon is a natural flea repellent that can be used to prevent your dog from getting fleas or to kill off the ones they already have. Eucalyptus oil also works as a natural flea repellent and killing agent, so if you want to save money on buying one of the many commercial products out there, this option will do the trick! Sulphur powder is another great way of keeping your dog’s skin clean without having to use any harmful chemicals. It’s antiseptic too which means it will prevent infections from developing when applied topically onto open wounds or scrapes
Dilute tea tree oil with water.
To make this mixture, you’ll need:
- 1/2 cup tea tree oil
- 1/2 cup water
Apply the diluted mixture to your dog’s fur. You can use a spray bottle for this or simply pour it over him with a cup. Then, use a flea comb to work out dead fleas and eggs from your dog’s fur. Repeat every other day until you no longer see any live fleas or eggs on his body.
Use white vinegar with a spray bottle to kill fleas.
- Use white vinegar with a spray bottle to kill fleas.
- Put white vinegar in a spray bottle and spray all over your dog.
- You can also spray the solution on your dog’s bedding, or even on the carpet or other areas of your home.
Rub thyme on your dog’s skin.
Thyme is a natural flea repellent. You can purchase it at your local nursery or grocery store. To use thyme as a flea repellent, you need to rub it into your dog’s skin after bathing them (you may want to do this before bathing). After massaging the thyme into their skin, rub the remaining herb over their fur and let them dry completely before letting them go outside again. If done properly, this should eliminate any fleas that have already bitten your dog and prevent new ones from biting him or her. The best time of day to apply thyme is in the evening when most insects are not active (this also helps prevent sunlight from breaking down any essential oils in the herb).
If you wish, you can try other herbal alternatives like lavender oil or oak infused vinegar which are effective at repelling insects as well but may not last as long since they only have one ingredient instead of several active ingredients found within thyme itself.”
Make a garlic solution.
To make a garlic solution, add one to two teaspoons of garlic powder to a cup of water. Mix the powder in with an electric beater until it dissolves completely. You can put this solution into empty gel capsules and give them to your dog as treats, but it’s important that you don’t use fresh garlic because it can cause stomach upset. Also, don’t give this solution if your pet is pregnant or has any history of anaemia (a lack of red blood cells).
With a little diligence and patience, you can eliminate fleas from your home without using poisons and chemicals.
It is possible to kill fleas without using toxic chemicals. The key is to use a variety of methods and employ a combination of the following:
- Vacuuming the floors, rugs, and furniture
- Carpet cleaning (a product called Sticky Buddy can be used on carpets to kill fleas)
- Steam clean your upholstered furniture if it’s easy to do so
- Wash dog bedding in hot water with baking soda added (make sure you dry it well)
- Use essential oils on dogs at least once a week. Citronella oil has been shown to be effective against fleas, but other oils like lavender or eucalyptus may also work well. Essential oils should not be taken internally by dogs or cats unless they are diluted in a carrier oil such as olive oil; always consult your vet before applying any essential oil directly onto your pet’s fur or skin
