Both Minksheen and Buddy Wash/Rinse (lavendar & mint) have several essential oils that are natural flea repellants. I use Minksheen on Angel and Buddy Wash/Rinse on Sissy. Buddy Splash (leave on conditioner and between bath spritzer) has the same ingredients as the shampoo and I also use Cain & Able Lavender Fresh (between bath spritz) has even more including citronella.
If you bathe your pup as often as most yorkie owners (7-10 days) and use a spritz daily before brushing, I believe the essential oils stay on their coat for at least as much protection as the topical chemicals offer, if not more. And without reaction (provided there are no allergies).
