I have posted this several times.....My Mom got this recipe from a holistic vet in our area....Unfortunately he is quite a ways from us ....
1 cup of water
15 drops ( I use like 30) peppermint oil (can buy at a natural food store)
put this in a spray bottle...
wet (REALLY wet) a paper towel
wipe over the entire dog starting at the head, underside...etc.....
it will NOT make them greasy...matter of fact..it makes their hair very soft and they smell good! This mixture helps to repel fleas AND ticks!
The only draw back (because it is all natural) is it has to be applied every couple of days...matter of fact...I put it on every time I take them out.. We camp in the summer...we have never had fleas on the furbutts! good luck and let me know how this works for you!
edited to say:.....this mixture does not separate like water and oil....it will mix together...I do shake it though before I spray it...and DON'T spray directly on your dog....OH! My Mom soaks her dogs harness in the mixture and lets it dry before putting it on her...I am going to try this too!
