2. You don’t have to resort to expensive, artificial flea treatments, there
are alternatives that are 100% natural.
Quick note - when it comes to treating your pet for fleas, be sure to place
them outside for an hour if you can.
Fleas will jump ship if they have to and cling to the next available thing
even if it’s you.
Leaving your pet outside, if at all possible for an hour just avoids the
scenario of them mass exodusing to you and your family.

your pets, their skin is different from ours and believe it or not can
cause more irritations than just them having do deal with the fleas.

leave your pet with skin fungal infection simply because it wasn’t designed
for their skin.

surface desperately searching for oxygen.
In this state, they’re dying and will be discarded when you rinse them off.

5. Make sure your pet is outside on the grass. Take a cup of your oil, dip
your hand in scoop up a handful and rub it into your pets fur.
Get good coverage, all over their back, stomach, shoulders, rump, tail,
legs paying special attention to their neck and back of the head, under the
chin and chest.
The fleas will migrate to higher ground if they feel their life is threatened
and that’s where you’ll corner them by applying to your pets neck and
back of the head, the fleas escape route will be cut off and they’ll be
trapped, desperate for escape.
Just make sure that you wash any clothes in hot water incase you bring
any little escapees back into the house with you as they attempt to jump
ship.

6. After you coat your pet with the oil, leave on for 15 minutes, get a fine
tooth comb and comb their fur, one row at a time to remove any fleas.
There should be plenty caught in the teeth of the comb, then rinse.
Use a good degreaser or vegetable based soap, lather into their fur to get
rid of the excess oil and to prevent their pores from getting clogged.
Give them a bath prior to give your pet itch relief and to reduce some of
the flea population currently residing in your pets fur.
