I had good kids and love art-but want something different.
I found a few fleas on my dog. (one earlier this week which I killed, and then 2 yesterday-now also dead) I'm so against all those $40 treatments like Advatage or Frontline. It just doesn't seem healthy...so I've been trying all these "healthy" alternatives. My poor doggie. So far he's:
Been drinking water with apple cider vinegar in it
Been eating food with garlic in it
Been sprayed with peppermint oil (yes-he smells like a big peppermint pattie)
Been examined all over for fleas about half a dozen times (haven't seen any yet!)
My next step is lemon juice. They say that if you spray your dog with a seeped, water/lemon mixture it: repels fleas and keeps his coat shiny. We'll see what happens. I do not want my house/dog infested with fleas! If these things do not work...I will be forced to succumb to the world of unnatural chemicals. Poor Teddy.

Awwww! Teddy's cute! I hope the fleas just fall off and walk away. I could happen....
Thanks! He was a stray I took in like, 4 years ago. I wish those fleas would just evaporate. Haven't seen any. Minty Monkey (Teddy) may have frightened him.
I've heard that Brewers Yeast works. I have been giving it to my dog all summer and she doesn't have fleas. You might want to try it.
Thanks Lucy! I read that too. I'm trying the garlic method first...yeast is next.
