My Dog Has Fleas!
July 22nd, 2010, No Comments
Fleas are a problem for dogs and their owners alike. These tiny insects will live on the body of your dog, sucking the animal’s blood and laying eggs. The bites and presence of fleas will cause the dog to itch and if the dog happens to be allergic to fleas (the allergy is technically to the insects’ saliva) it can experience extreme itching, loss of fur in some places, inflammation, and infections. Regardless of whether the dog has an allergy to flea saliva, infestations must be dealt with or they will go on and on and the fleas will also infest your home, other pets, and can even live on humans.
How To Fight Fleas

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.
