Lately, we've been asked about home remedies for fleas. Pesky little fleas can be one of the hardest problems to tackle when you have cats and dogs, especially if you're concerned about harsh chemicals around your pets and family. We scoured the internet to find home remedies. Let us know: what home remedies for fleas have you heard of? Have you ever tried any of these?

Avon's Skin-So-Soft
Some pet owners swear by this bath oil, saying that a good soak in a mixture of 1 1/2 ounces of Skin-So-Soft and a gallon of water will keep the fleas away.

Brewer's Yeast
We've read that adding Brewer's Yeast to dogs' diets will keep the fleas from biting. Garlic or natural apple cider vinegar are said to do the same, making your pets' skin unsavory to the pests.

Citrus Water
Boil water and lemons and then let it steep and cool overnight. Advocates of this method say that a spritz on your pets' coat will keep them flea-free.

My vet and breeder swear by lemon Dawn. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find it anymore.

We use Flea Free Food Supplement, a natural product that is put in the drinking water, and our dogs have no fleas. What's nice about it is that it is helpful to the immune system and intestinal tract and hair coat. I would recommend it--completely natural.
