I add a sprinkle of borax and a few drops of oil of Pennyroyal. I mix it together and place the dog into a dry bathtub. I massage this into his fur with a washcloth until he is wet and a little foamy. I scrub him with this 'shampoo' using a washcloth(or sponge), especially the tail area, the underside where fleas hide, and the neck/ears. The solution should foam slightly. You can use the wathcloth to pull off the excess water after scrubbing the dog. It's easier than putting them into a bath of water since they fear drowning. If the tub is dry they are not so threatened. In a medium bowl of water I put a small squirt of dish washing liquid to make the water slightly soapy.

Any breed with potential blood or bleeding issue-use other options. I've done them all & if u follow schedule you save money, save environment and save pet from risk of seizures, neurological issues, etc noted on retail chemical flea and tick treatments. I dip leather collars two hours in citrus oils, hangs for approximately an hour & keep close and snug (not tight) on your furry loved one.

He is outside most of the day,only inside at night. I had not been combing him so I got a flea comb. My daughter and I started combing him twice a day, and dunking the fleas in the water. If you comb really firmly, you can even get ticks out this ways, especially small ones that cannot be seen(our dog has black fur which means the fleas and ticks are practically invisible!) We have done this every day for over a week and already he is scratching and biting less and his fur looks better, although it is still thin on his bell and back of legs. Now I will try some of the the other remedies and maybe I won't ahve to use chemicals! I noticed my dog began really itching alot as the weather got warmer.
