Here are some tips on natural flea control for dogs.

The first thing in flea control for dogs is to check your dog for fleas. You probably won’t be able to tell just by looking. Grab a paper towel, soak it in water and put it under your dog as your dog is on all fours. You want to brush your dog, using a downward motion, which will cause anything to fall onto the wet towel below your dog. If you see these little black dots that turn a reddish color when they get wet, this is flea poop, and your dog has fleas.

After that, I want you to realize that 90% of the fleas actually infest your house and only 10% of the fleas are on your dog! Vacumming your house regularly and keeping it clean is a big part of natural flea control for dogs.

Also keep in mind that feeding your dog a very healthy dog food daily will greatly reduce the chances of it ever getting a flea infestation. Healthy dog food gives your dog a strong immune system that is able to repel fleas on its own. Feeding the dog you love unhealthy dog food weakens the immune system which allows the fleas to prosper. Go find out for yourself now at the above link if your dog is truly eating a healthy diet.

Finally, a great way to implement natural flea control for dogs is get a bandanna for your dog and spray it weekly with essential oils that act as a natural flea repellent. Lavender, cedar wood, citronella, tea tree, sage and peppermint oils are all great oils for natural flea control for dogs.
