| Natural Flea Spray hi everyone, i recently got a recipe for a natural flea med/spray to use on my dogs. i got it from a woman who has a shelter close to my home for chinese crested dogs. my question is you need to use grapeseed oil for the base....i have done some googles searches and it has yet to be proven by scientist that grapeseed oil is toxic to Yorkies. my first thought is not to chance it but i wanted to inquire if anyone here has used grapeseed oil as a spray on preventative. thank you.

be a good idea , if you want to use herbal remedies, to speak to a holistic vet in your area if you have one. i do know that although herbal remedies are all natural and non chemical some dogs do have allergic reactions on occasion... | |

| tried it all and my cedric is very allergic to all of those included revolution and pet armour plus. i have tried everything and the only thing he is ok with is sargents natural herbal kind. i just wanted to have an safe option for him as we live in the boonies and i do not want or need fleas.

We get really bad bees and wasps in our grass- So DH bought this ECO Friendly insect poison to put in the grass, It really works well! I think it might treat for fleas and other bugs!

| i have and will again this year which does help but they love their walks so I cant get all 5 acres. hehe. so im gonna try this. you can actually exchange the grape seed oil for water and then mix two other oils that i know he will be ok with. thanks i hope this keeps him protected and doesnt make him sick. i would say it does not absorb just sit on his furr cause you need to spray him each time he goes out and humans can use it also. well try and see.

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | I've never hear of the grapeseed. I have heard of some other natural remedies that I plan on trying out myself this summer. Flea Control How to Use Apple Cider Vinegar for Pets | eHow.com
