but it doesn't mean that your dog doesn't need your care and
protection during
other seasons. There are many remedies on the market against dogs'
fleas but do you
really want to poison your true friend with all that chemicals
commercial flea killers are
stuffed with? Your pet deserves easy, natural and effective remedies

- Start with making a solution of 1/3 apple cider vinegar
to 2/3 water. When you mix these ingredients you shampoo your
pet with it and then rinse his whole body thoroughly. Then
remove the rest of the water with a dry and soft towel. If you
smell vinegar after this procedure you don't have to worry the
smell will come out but if the smell doesn't go away for a long time repeat rinsing. Be sure after this procedure fleas will be gone.

attenuated remedy than commercial one.

- You can add small amounts of garlic or brewer's yeast in your
dog's diet. Note!
Garlic should always be cooked raw garlic can be very dangerous
for a dog. If properly cooked and served in small amounts you
will benefit your dog's health, because garlic is effective
against fleas but it helps with other ailments as well.

Cut up a lemon and seep it in 8 oz. of water for a day. Pour
this liquid into a clean plastic spray bottle; spray the dog's
coat. Believe us fleas will not like the smell. You, in your
turn, will like freshness around your pet.
- You may try to repel the fleas with the scent of
lavender. When shampooing your pet add a few drops of
lavender essential oil to his shampoo bottle or its bath water.
- Flea comb is also helpful in this situation. While combing
your dog's coat immerse the comb into a bowl of soapy water to
dislodge the fleas and proceed combing.
- Remember that it is highly important to keep your dog bathed,
groomed and healthy.
Bullmastiff has a short coat that is why it shouldn't be very
difficult to get rid of fleas.
