got this from a holistic vet in our area...
1 cup of water
15 drops (I use about 20) peppermint oil
put in a spray bottle and shake...wet a paper towel and rub in on your pup..making sure you get in down to the skin,,under belly, top of head, neck...etc....it is all natural...they smell good and it makes their hair very soft.
As someone has said these flea treatments are poison...My Mom read in a dog fancy magazine they tested a goldens saliva a few hours after applying a flea treatment and it showed up in the saliva...My Parents have a malti poo with a VERY thick coat and lots of woods behind their house...so far....no fleas or ticks!...Only thing with going natural is it has to be applied every couple of days...We use is when we go camping and NEVER had a flea or tick...And they do not get greasy from it. I feel the benefits of going natural (and applying every other day) REALLY out weigh putting pesticides on our babies. MO
