The natural way: Vacuum your home frequently and seal vacuum bags before disposing. Wash the bedding of your dog weekly in warm soapy water. This is where fleas usually breed. Bathing your pet weekly with a mild dog shampoo prevents flea invasion. Use cedar shampoo for your dog, and put cedar oil in their sleeping mats. Cedar will repel fleas and other insects. Fleas are attracted to dry skin, so to avoid it, give your dog Linatone oil mixed with its food. Excessive shampooing should be avoided.

Many dogs develop a sensitivity to flea saliva, which the flea injects into your dog’s skin as a way to prevent his blood from coagulating and thereby ensure a plentiful meal.
