| Flea, Tick, and Heartworm in one? Is there something out there that provides flea, tick, AND heartworm protection all in one? Or, is there a flea and tick preventative that is in pill form? I hate those messy, nasty smelling, sticky frontline stuff. YUCK! Maddie is so small I feel like I am drowning her in the stuff! |

My furkids Donating Member | try this..... Quote:
Here it is! Flea be Gone! * Peppermint Oil * Cinnamon Leaf (not Cinnamon Bark) Oil * Lemon Grass Oil * Clove Oil * Thyme Oil * A carrier oil, such as sweet almond or jojoba In a small jar fitter with an eye dropper lid, add 15mLs (1/2 oz) of a carrier oil, one drop each of Thyme, Cinnamon Leaf and Clove, and four drops each of Peppermint and Lemon Grass. Shake well before applying drops to your dog's neck and back, parting your dog's hair so that the solution is applied to the skin. Use five drops per ten lbs of body weight. Do not apply to puppies under 12 weeks of age. Apply as frequently as every two weeks. Alternately, six drops of Geranium, four drops of Peppermint, and two drops of Lavender in 15 mLs of a carrier oil can also be used to effectively repel fleas and ticks __________________ or this... 15 drops of peppermint oil to 1 cup of water...spray a rag or towel then wipe down the dog...especially the underside...under legs, neck and around hiney area....My Mom caught this from a holistic vet...so far it has been working for her....Do Not spray directly on the dog. This will work for fleas, ticks and biting insects...NOT Heartworm
