Hmmmm...... interesting. I wonder what it does to their coat though?? The acid might strip the hair. Good thought though. |
I love the smell of lemon, and love natural products, so I may give this a try. I have limes here, but no lemons! We don't have a problem with fleas, but this may be good to keep on hand. |
While I could see it killing fleas, used repeatedly lemon juice will damage hair bc of the acidity... it is also used to highlight and lighten hair, so I would use it with caution on yorkie hair ;) |
It sounds very interesting, Hope it has no side effects. |
