| Where to find eucalyptus oil? Does any one know if I can find this in a store or if I have to order it online. Please let me know, I want to try it for fleas on my pups!

| You can usually find it in health food stores. But, please know how to properly use it - it will need to be diluted in a major way!!!!

| That is my next question, how should I use it for bathing them. Do you just ad a few drops to the shampoo?

| What Jodie said-----------when using essential oils you must know the proportions to use or else you are in danger of doing more harm than good. Do some internet searches or pick up a couple of books on the subject. Good luck! |

| here is what you do. I found mine at GNC. I bought a large bottle of shampoo and added twenty drops to it. then kind of tip the bottle around to let it mix. I have not had a flea problem since my friend told me how to do this. BUT, if you notice any of your dogs itching right after using it, stop using it on that dog. i have two that i just can't use it on. |

| It is going to mix much better if you add it to the bottle of shampoo. But, if you're worried about the dogs not tolerating it well and ruining a whole bottle, why not get a travel bottle and fill it with shampoo then add the oil? If you are using a pretty standard 3 oz travel bottle, I wouldn't add more than 5 drops of oil to it and then mix very well. Make sure not to get it in the pup's eyes also as it will burn and hurt. Good luck!!!
