Seen a few fleas on my dog last night and it stressed me out, going to get some Dawn right now and giving this a try. Thanks for sharing!

[@frankgathers4174]

Thank You! It really helped my Roxy!

[@CoffeeCowsNCurls]

I’m so glad!! 💗💗💗

[@OurSerenityHomestead]

Imma have to try this recipe. Thanks

[@ivanoneguy246]

I tried this right after I saw fleas on my dogs rear and it worked 🙏

[@hansgernstl1297]

Nice dog ya got there.

[@jordanallen6255]

I watched this video probably like a month ago and I finally gave my dogs baths this past weekend and let me tell y’all THIS IS THE ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS. I have tried a plethora of flea and tic pills, collars, and shampoos. You name it I’ve tried it and those only halfway worked. But this shampoo recipe worked completely. The fleas were either dead in the water or dead but still hanging on my dogs. I didn’t have a flea comb at the time I do now so next time I give them I bath I’ll be able to get them all off. But even without the flea comb most of them came off my dogs. The ones that were still on them a lot of them I was able to take off with my hand. I have a shitzu Jr. and a Pom mix named Jack. Jr’s coat is cut short at the moment so I was able to get a lot off of him in the tub; afterwards more came off when I dried him off with a towel and then like i said earlier I was able to take a lot off with my hand. Now with jack he has a fuller coat his hair is thicker. He’s the one who I really need the flea comb for. Less came off in the shower for him but still a substantial amount and more came off when I was drying him, but I got more off when I was taking them off with my hand. And most if not all the fleas that I were taking off by hand were dead not moving at all. Long review short TRY THIS AND YOU WONT BE SORRY also have a flea comb it’ll help a lot 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I read all the comment, 😊thank you for sharing

This will come in handy when we get our dog. I'm all about homemade remedies!

[@amarisburris1315]

Trying tonight🤞 thank you!

[@kevinhoney1385]

We are gona try this treatment

[@richardk5246]

Thanks for this, my hound has just started scratching and I fear she has the little critters so I shall give her a bath in this. I'm in the UK and we don't get Dawn dish soap here but we do have a product called, Fairy washing up liquid, which is basically the same product. They're both made by the same company, Procter and Gamble and they're both their leading brands of dish soap/washing up liquid. It might be useful for any other UK viewers.

[@lindalewis5787]

Thank you I was thinking we don't have dawn

[@richardb6170]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@izabella6336]

I tried it today, let's hope it works, but maybe I need to spray the yard too

[@CoffeeCowsNCurls]

That would be a good idea. 😊

[@HouseOfGwengi]

Thanks

[@NormaJB64]

You should put cotton balls in his wars before bathing him. I also agree with the ACV with "mothers ". Your pup is so beautiful. 💙

[@CoffeeCowsNCurls]

Great idea! Thanks

[@richardcraig541]

Cotton balls,good idea

[@MooPup09]

before you rinsed it off, did you leave the soapy solution on for a particular length of time? .. a few minutes at least? Also, we don't have DAWN dish soap in Australia .. I will have to look up it's ingredients to find a comparison, or do you know one? .. thanks ..

[@mystikskullz2583]

Will apple cider vinegar work?

[@DejaDoesNegril]

Just used this at 5:30 am. Didn’t even know my dog had fleas till I took a fine tooth comb. Thank god she’s blonde and I could see them right away. Also a plus she smells 1000 times better! Thanks for helping my yorkie. Now do I need to do it on my hair too? Can they be in our hair too?

[@CoffeeCowsNCurls]

I don’t think you need to use it on yourself. 🙂

[@saucy2627]

Those fleas do not live off humans. We have our own type of fleas called lice

[@bonezdawg1504]

@@saucy2627 I was just legit thinking about how similar lice and fleas are and then I saw this comment.. good to know it isn't just me

[@tygerstripes3752]

Fleas and lice are *not* the same thing. But after you wash your dog, you can take a shower and wash your hair to get rid of any fleas that might have jumped onto you.

[@herbhickey]

If my wife sees on hop , she’ll be itching and scratching til she gets a shower too !! 😂

[@belindalvmusic]

[@joselopez77]

I've been trying this for two days one day after the other & it seemed to work for a minute then they get fleas again. Obviously we must have some in the yard but what gets to me that supposedly the fleas live in warm places and the yard is pretty much nothing but dirt. I don't think this thing formula works to prevent the dig to get more on them after they are bathed with this home remedy. Thank you though.

[@riverponicsgrowingsystems7450]

Your awesome and beautiful just like my kitties 😍

[@3dmihijos314]

Can I use this on my cat?

[@ladauphine2837]

I'll definitely try this. Pills, collars, ...nothing worked really.

[@CoffeeCowsNCurls]

It’s sooo bad this year! Ugh 😩

[@billbob4243]

Recommendation. Do NOT use the same towel the dog was wrapped in before the flea treatment to dry it off after the treatment. Not only due to fleas, but also the eggs. And change its bedding after the bath.

[@CoffeeCowsNCurls]

Good advice, thansk

[@rogerbettencourt9654]

Tex is a cutie. I wish I could give my fat chocolate lab a bath in the sink. I shall try the recipe. Thanks for sharing guys. God bless.

Will this work for an 8 week old pit puppy?

[@CoffeeCowsNCurls]

Yes, this is safe to use on puppies

[@stevenlengua4179]

Will Palmolive work? Or has to be Dawn?

[@mikesworldduh]

Dawn works best

[@crossroads28]

Can you apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar.

[@CoffeeCowsNCurls]

I’m not 100% sure, but I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able too

[@pengcub3687]

Can i use any detergent?

I’d stick with dawn personally

[@belovedsunryze4399]

Is this safe for pups? I just got an 8 week old and I've already found 2 tics

No, We have 22 acres, it’s way to expensive to spray it all.

@@CoffeeCowsNCurls I picked up a recipe from a farmer on FB and my mail lady and the ingredients were HUGE pinch of chewing tobacco soaked over night in water to make a concentrate following day strain the tobacco concentrate into a bug sprayer fill the rest with water you have 22 acres so you would have to make enough to cover those 22 acres but it's way cheaper then hiring a pest control company to come out and spray it.....the other product is diatomaceous earth.... everyone I spoke to about this spray has said it works great!

[@aunttriciaattic]

Thanks for video but I think too much vinegar he try to get out of the sink for a reason he had already been scratching and when you add the vinegar I think it hurt. Scratch your arm and put vinegar on it.

[@CoffeeCowsNCurls]

He does the same thing when I give him a regular bath, he doesn’t like water, does that mean the water hurts him and I shouldn’t clean him?

[@aunttriciaattic]

No, I was just saying vinegar do burn especially after scratching a lot I learned first-hand with my dogs.

[@rickmason6157]

@@CoffeeCowsNCurls Great rebuttal with class and nuance!

[@lunatune3714]

Dawn dish soap is great for emergencies but it is horrible for a dogs skin and should not be used if it can be avoided.....maybe this is an emergency or last resort but it is NOT safe as the video implies.

[@rulistening7777]

CAN'T HEAR YOU

[@dianafarfan9577]

Please don't use vinegar on dogs with cuts, wounds, or broken skin of any kind, it will cause a horrible burning sensation, like pouring alcohol over a wound.

[@garystanfield2274]

Dawn dish soap should have the duck on it. That was not a very good bath, never even see any soap lather. You must have given it a bath the day before or something like that and did a quick-looking wash job just to show how you did it and passed it of like it was the first time doing it./ .

Dish soap probably kills all and not the vinigar :)

The vinegar can repel future fleas from jumping on.
