Treat dog flea problems naturally
As dog owners, fleas can be the biggest thorn in our side, and like clockwork every year they come back. Fleas get on our dogs, and then they get into the house and get on everything else.
It’s certainly not the fault of our poor dogs. They hate fleas as much as we do. It can not be helped. Dogs have to go outside and that’s why they get fleas. Our number one priority is getting rid of fleas on our dog, especially if he is allergic to them. Which is more common then you may think.
Your first course of action to get rid of fleas should be a natural flea treatment. Why natural? The obvious reason, of course, is security.
Natural flea remedies are just that, they come from nature and therefore do not cause the damage that many of the commercial products can. Another good reason to use natural home remedies, they are always less expensive than anything you’ll get at your vet office or pet store.
You can safely use natural flea treatments and not worry about someone in your household getting sick from the toxic fumes and other side effects that commercial products can have. There are numerous natural flea treatments that you can use for your dog, but the one that everyone agrees works best is garlic.
Garlic doesn’t help scare away vampires, fleas don’t like it either. Or make any number of parasites that can attach to your dog. When you give your dog a very small amount of garlic in his food, it passes into his bloodstream. This is very important. Never ever give your cat raw garlic. Garlic is very toxic to cats and can cause serious damage. Cats can only have cooked garlic.
Remember that dogs and cats are very different and should be treated with different remedies. So cooked garlic only for Cats. Raw garlic for dogs.
When your dog eats the garlic in his food, it gets into his skin. Just like when we eat garlic it comes out of our pores, the same thing happens to your dog. Fleas will immediately leave your dog shortly after they smell or taste garlic.
Sometimes just a little bit of garlic in your dog’s food may not be enough to do the trick. In that case, you should mix the garlic with a little brewer’s yeast. Add some of the mixture to your dog’s food.
If you want, you can buy brewer’s yeast and garlic mixture in tablets at many health food stores and add it to your dog’s food. This natural flea treatment is just one of many natural home remedies that you can use for your dog.
Whenever possible, it’s always best to use natural treatments, but if your dog ever has a serious problem of any nature, always take him to your vet right away.
Hope this helps you and your dog get rid of fleas. Your dog deserves only the best, because that’s what they always give us.
Our animals should always be treated with delicacy, kindness and a lot of love.
