* 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. | Petsmart sells something with the same ingredients. I bought some, have not tried it yet.
