Sunday, May 4, 2008




Are you tired of using conventional and commercial flea treatments simply because they don't seem to work? Well, there is something else that you can use that have been proven effective by a lot of people. And the best thing about it is you can easily find it in the kitchen.

Here is how you can make use of vinegar to get those fleas away from your dog.

1. Mix one part apple cider vinegar or white vinegar with one part water.

2. Wet a clean piece of cloth or fill a sprayer with this mixture.

3. Apply the vinegar on your dog's coat. Make sure to cover his whole body at the same time avoiding the eyes as these can easily be irritated.

4. Do not wash it off.

5. Do it every two days until there are no more signs of fleas.

You can also put a few drops of vinegar in your dog's drinking water. Don't worry. The vinegar's taste is easily diluted and most dogs don't find the taste repulsive. What the vinegar does is it makes the skin too acidic for fleas to live and feed on.
