Home advice on ticks and fleas
There are several natural substances that can help discourage fleas and ticks, but it is important to remember that their efficiency can vary. The most commonly used natural repellents include vitamin B, which you can serve in the form of tablets or syrup. This vitamin changes the “scent of the skin” and can therefore counteract the parasites by repelling them. Other active substances are lavender and rosemary, both in the form of oil, flowers or leaves. Tea tree oil is also known for its repellent effect, but it should be treated carefully, especially in small dogs, as it can cause allergic reactions and burns.
If you are looking for another natural way to protect your dog, you can try peppermint, which also has a very strong repellent effect. Or Jojoba oil, which you can use directly on your dog’s skin. Aloe Vera is known for its calming effects, but it can also help discourage some parasites. However, it is always important to try a small amount on the skin of the dog and monitor any allergic reactions.
Another simple method to avoid parasites is to prepare a home bath of lemon. Just mix half a cup of lemon juice with two cups of water and add this mixture to a regular dog shampoo. This recipe not only refreshes the hair, but also helps to remove any unwanted guests. Coconut oil is another great natural remedy that you can find on the shelves of almost all shops. Just gently massage it into the hair and skin of the dog. The combination of these natural methods can be a great way to get rid of unwanted parasites without chemicals.
Prevention is always important
Prevention is the key to success when it comes to protecting your dog from parasites. Check your dog regularly after walking, notice whether it is too much or not turning on furniture, which may be a sign that it is wearing fleas or ticks. It is always better to prevent these problems than to fight for long weeks.
Many of these domestic methods are completely harmless and natural, so why not put them in regular care for your pet? In this way you will ensure not only his health but also well -being, and you can enjoy peaceful coexistence without unwanted guests.
