Unfortunately, Dogs and fleas come hand in hand at times. Here at Elmtree Kennels we do everything we can to keep rid of those nasty little things.

We understand some dog owners aren’t too keen on using commercial flea sprays and shampoos, so here are a few home made flea remedies, which work just as well, and are very easy to make!

Flea Spray

Mix 1 cup of water with 1 cup of white vinegar – simply pour the mixture in an unused spray bottle, and you’re good to go!

Flea Shampoo

Mix 1 cup of filtered water with 1 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar and 1 cup of dye-free, unscented liquid dish soap.

Use the mixture the same way you would use any other dog shampoo. Leave the mixture on for 5 minutes before rinsing.

If you want to repel ticks and mosquitoes at the same time, add a few drops of lavender oil, lemon oil or peppermint!
