I filled a small baby food jar with witch hazel and 8 drops of eucalyptus oil for my last small short-haired dachshund. He was allergic to things like flea collars and flea drops. I put the flea remedy on him with a cotton ball. It worked really well. Since his skin was sensitive, I didn't want to use too much eucalyptus since it could burn his skin.
I haven't used any flea remedies on Minnie my almost 10 mo. Pup yet. When I do, it'll be the witch hazel/eucalyptus remedy and see how well it works. \ \ /\ Alice ( ) [email protected] .( ).

I didn't use anything for yrs cuz no fleas and no scratching but once back into fostering dogs from shelters started seeing fleas. Advantix is the same main ingredient as Advantage. Skin so soft repels inscects as does Adams flea spray. I like to use Adams if I am going to show one of my dogs. I don't use the dog parks cuz they allow aggressive dogs who attack and damage other dogs.

All the fleas stuff require a flea to either land on the dog..or cat...or bite them before killing them. So you will kill the ones who land on them but if you go to a dog park or have tons of fleas new ones just hop on.

Some said they had to spray there dogs daily to keep the fleas off.
