DIY Flea & Tick Spray, Shampoo and Powder for Dogs


Now that Spring is upon us the topic of repelling fleas and ticks from dogs becomes a hot topic.


Let’s be honest - nobody wants their dogs to get fleas or ticks. Some of us even have dogs that have severe flea sensitivities…I do. All it takes is one flea and poor Reckon turns bright red and starts itching up a storm.


Today I want to share what I do to keep the pests away naturally. The last thing I want to do is put chemical pesticides in or on my dogs.


Pesticides have been known to cause problems with a plethora of things such as the nervous system, thyroid toxicity, thyroid cancer, liver toxicity, kidney damage, reduced fertility, and chemical burns.


Not to mention the physical issues of convulsions, loss of appetite, whining, barking, crying, motor skill impairment, loss of hair, and itching.


Curious to learn more about that? Do a quick online search, the data is there.


I can tell you, this scares me and it should scare you too!!


Because of this, I choose to use natural alternatives, specifically made with doTERRA essential oils.
