To have a flea-free house, it’s important for you to give your dog a bath as frequently as it is needed. However, here’s a way to make the shampoo even more effective.
Just mix half a cup of dog shampoo with half a cup of squeezed lemon juice. Rub the mixture on your dog once per week, and you’ll see how quickly it solves the problem.

There are many flea collars available to purchase, but they can be toxic to your four-legged baby. So, use a bandanna instead.
Mix 5 to 7 drops of lavender oil with a couple of tablespoons of water. Then, with a dropper, put a few drops onto the bandanna and wrap it around your pet’s neck!
3. Use your garden to keep fleas away from your pets
