Fleas can be a really irritating problem for dogs and their owners. They cause itching, and if the itching is very severe it might even lead to the shedding of hair and skin infections. Here are some of the best ways to get rid of them.
Many products are available in pet stores to get rid of fleas like flea collars, flea shampoos, flea combs, flea sprays, etc. choosing the right one can be as challenging as choosing the right diesel Lancs and at the right price.
If you are using an artificial product like Advantix, Revolution or Frontline, make sure that you do not exceed the dose. Over-dosage can be very harmful to the dog and in may even cause death. Also it is essential to treat your home and surroundings too at the same time, or the fleas will repopulate very soon.
There are many herbal products too that you can use. Mix 2 drops of lavender oil and 2 drops of cedar wood oil in 500ml of water, and use this to spray on the dog after giving it a flea shampoo bath. This has to be sprayed frequently, as the oils in this mixture evaporate quickly.
Instead of a flea shampoo, you can use dawn dishwashing liquid which is equally good. Apply it first in the neck area, and then continue shampooing the body. Wash it away after 5 minutes.
One natural remedy that many dog owners have claimed success with is rosemary leaves soaked in boiling water. You will then drench the dog with it. It is said that his treatment works well in the summer.
