Natural Flea Remedy From the Inside

There are all types of natural ways to get rid of fleas. One way for your to dog or cat to repel fleas is from the inside out. Although I use a natural flea collar I know people who use internal flea repellents as a natural flea remedy.

For obvious reasons, certain household items don’t come in a garlic scent. Garlic is yummy but it stinks. Thankfully it's not a flea's favorite smell either. When your cat or dog eats garlic, the garlic smell is excreted through the pet's skin making your pet less likely to be attractive to fleas. Garlic can be a tricky and perhaps thing when it comes to dogs so please, please,please discuss the quantities of garlic with your vet before trying this method. Some amounts of garlic can harm your pet.

Additionally, brewer's yeast tablets can also help to make your pet a bit stinky and less attractive to fleas because once again the smell is excreted through their skin repelling fleas.

I have also heard about people adding a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to their pet’s water bowl. This will make your pet's skin more acidic and unpleasant to fleas and ticks. If your dog isn't fussy about apple cider vinegar in their water bowl, dilute it 50/50 with water and use in a spray bottle in the same way you would use a citrus repellent. Let me know if anyone else has tried this method.

Preventing fleas naturally isn't very hard and is well worth your while.
