Natural flea control works 'from the inside out', through natural ingredients. If your dog has fleas but you want to avoid using conventional flea treatments such as Frontline or Advocate, which contain harsh pesticides, choose a natural flea treatment such as Billy No Mates herbal flea repellent.
Billy No Mates contains mint, seaweed, fenugreek, Neem leaves and lemon balm - sprinkled on your dog's food, or in liquid form as a tincture. Once established in your dog's system Billy No Mates naturally repels fleas. BNM takes two to three weeks to build up so start using it at Easter to be ready for the flea season.
As an adjunct to natural flea repellant use Neem oil for treating flea bites, sore skin, wet and dry patches. Neem is a proven natural flea repellent that can be used safely even on dogs with sensitive skin. When you use a shampoo containing Neem oil the effective compounds are absorbed by the dog's skin and spread through the sebaceous glands (microscopic glands that lubricate the skin). And the effect is cumulative, so the protection gets stronger every time you use it.
Natural treatment of a dog flea allergy
It only takes one flea bite to set off a dog's allergic reaction that can last for hours or even days. It can be heartbreaking to see a flea allergy making your dog sore from scratching; some dogs end up nearly bald. If you know that your dog has a flea allergy, preventative measures are essential. Homeopet Flea Bite provides quick, effective relief for dog suffering from minor flea allergies.
Treat the environment as well as the dog!
In addition to using a natural repellent to keep fleas off your dog, it's wise to take measures to control fleas in the environment. During the summer months of the flea season, vacuum carpets, rugs and furniture as often as possible to remove fleas and their eggs, and wash the dog's bedding weekly. Bear in mind that any flea eggs collected inside the vacuum cleaner can still hatch in the bag, so seal it well and throw it away after use, or put it in a plastic bag in the freezer overnight after each vacuuming.
