  • Apple Cider Vinegar: 1 teaspoonful of apple cider vinegar mixed to your canine’s drinking water will turn it acidic thereby making it not at all tasty for the annoying fleas. Alternatively you can dilute apple cider vinegar in equal proportion with water (50/50) and pour this concoction into a spray bottle.

Pour it over your pooch till he is soaked and allow him to dry naturally. This work wonders to ward off fleas from dogs.
  • Brewer’s Yeast: Mix a small amount of brewer’s yeast in your canine’s food.

For best results consult your vet for the proper dosage depending on your pooch’s weight.
  • Diatomaceous Earth: While vacuuming, put diatomaceous earth in the bag for ensuring that all fleas are killed and if necessary steam clean carpets and furniture. One of the most effective tips is to leave a lamp overnight underneath a bowl containing soapy water. The light will help in attracting fleas which will finally drop dead into the water. This is a good way to kill fleas in dogs naturally.
Try these natural remedies and keep your lovely pooch away from the pesky fleas forever.
