We are all worried that our pet will start scratching with his back leg. If it is not the earth, it means that there is something else bothering you, which is why we bring you this homemade trick: vinegar and lemon for fleas and ticks.

Obviously we can opt for the anti-fleas and ticks that are offered at the veterinarian, but it can be harmful to both our pet and our family.

Therefore, we turned to a homemade flea and tick repellent with natural ingredients, which has been made for a long time. And of course, it is very effective, as much as the chemical anti-flea product.

For this vinegar and lemon solution for fleas and ticks, you will need:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup distilled (or filtered) water
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (white can be used, but apple cider vinegar is more effective)
• 1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon
• 1 Spray or Sprayer

Preparation:

Add the water, vinegar and lemon to a spray bottle. We make sure it closes well and shake until the ingredients are well mixed.

How and where to apply it:

If your dog has a lot of fleas, spray the liquid against fleas and ticks directly. It is important to avoid the animal’s head, so the ideal would be to spray the entire neck and then the entire body. And voila, these parasites would have to leave him alone for a few days.

When your dog no longer has fleas, you can try to avoid them with this method: We wet a cloth or flannel with the mixture and pass it over where the dog usually is (like on the bed). It is ideal to do this every day or every other day.

We also recommend that you bathe him every 15 days and if he has fleas, spray him with a little of this mixture.

I hope you liked to know that lemon for ticks in dogs is very good, since it does not affect the coat or skin. As for vinegar, it scares away fleas and its strong smell makes them not want to jump towards our pet’s body for a long time.
