KILL DOG FLEAS WITH NATURAL - INEXPENSIVE - HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS

leas are a dog's nightmare. Because of the great harm when the dog has fleas. In addition to what they do to dogs, fleas also cause disease in humans. Therefore, knowing how to get rid of dog fleas is extremely important for dog owners. In the previous article, Hai Dang Veterinary Hospital showed effective ways to kill dog fleas.

1. Bathing the dog.

Bathing your dog with warm water and mild dishwashing liquid or regular dog oil will kill most fleas.

• This method is effective against fleas with small and medium number of fleas on the body. But it may not be effective enough to eradicate flea outbreaks in large numbers.

• Use only mild dishwashing liquid that is colorless, fragrance-free and safe for sensitive skin. Discontinue use when the dog has a bad reaction to the soap. Use conditioner after soaping to prevent your dog's skin from drying out.

• Shower your dog with soap once a week. Excessive bathing (especially with soap) can be harmful to your dog's skin by drying out the skin.

• The soap surrounds the fleas and pulls them off the dog. Furthermore, soap breaks down fleas' cell membranes and removes the waxy coating that protects them. As a result, the fleas can no longer retain water and die from dehydration.

2. Brush the dog's coat with a flea comb.

You can use a flea comb, but you can also use any comb with tight teeth.

• A flea comb can remove fleas from your dog's coat.

• Brush your dog from head to toe. Make sure to brush down to the dog's skin. If you only brush the outer coat without touching the skin, some fleas may still be left after brushing.

• Put the comb in a bucket of warm soapy water every time you catch a flea. Soap water can kill fleas quickly.

3.  Banish fleas with lemon juice.

Diluted lemon juice applied to a dog's coat can kill fleas. However, you need to be careful not to dry out your dog's skin.

• Mix a bowl of solution with half a lemon juice and half a part warm water.

• Alternatively, you can cut a lemon in half and put it in boiling water. Soak for eight hours or overnight, then strain and pour into a bowl.

• Dip your dog's brush with a lemon juice solution. Then brush the dog's coat, letting the lemon juice come into contact with the dog's fur. Remember to comb thoroughly, dip the comb in the solution after each brushing movement.

• Repeat this once a day for three days.

4. Kill dog fleas with apple cider vinegar. 

Apple cider vinegar can be applied to a dog's coat to treat fleas.

• Mix half a part apple cider vinegar with half a part warm water and pour it into a spray bottle. Spray the entire body of the dog, but focus on areas where fleas are most likely to gather, such as behind the ears, the buttocks around the tail, and under the feet.

• If your dog's skin is dry or if you suspect a bad reaction to vinegar, stop this treatment immediately.

5.  Try brewer's yeast.

Using brewer's yeast is a natural prevention, an alternative to harsh chemicals. The evidence for the effectiveness of this therapy is inconclusive, but brewer's yeast appears to have an impact on flea populations.

• Give your dog brewer's yeast tablets by putting them in his dog's food every day or every two days. Consult your veterinarian to determine the best dosage for your dog based on your dog's age and weight. Do not self-determine without the consent of your veterinarian.

• Brewer's yeast will soak into the dog's skin and be discharged through the pores. This has the effect of repelling fleas.

6.  Apply lavender essential oil.

This therapy has not been scientifically validated, but folk believe it can be effective against dog fleas. You only need to put a few drops of lavender essential oil on important places to take advantage of this effect.

• Bathe your dog normally with soap and warm water. Use a dry towel.

• Apply a few drops of lavender essential oil to the butt area around the dog's tail and a few drops to the nape of the neck
