Love how pooch watches yr every move... just checking u doing it right...😄😄😄

[@VeterinarySecrets]

I got a very strict quality control lol

[@marygabaree622]

Denny Smith dogs naturally do this, even if you may not notice all the time. They want to please so they read facial expressions & body language like a pro. It helps them to understand what we want from them.

[@fig4159]

Great recipe!!! FYI, when your pet has fleas, wetting them down first with plain water gives the fleas time to escape. ALWAYS APPLY SOAP FIRST (traps the fleas so you can drown them!), THEN water. Also, they'll get cold during that 10 minute wait time unless you cover them with a warm, wet cloth. Towels are generally too heavy; you can use fleece, old dish towels, or cloth diapers (which absorb water amazingly well - I use them on my hair, too!) You can also cut up an old sheet, pillowcase t shirt, curtains, etc (depending on the animal's size, of course). If you're a homeowner, applying beneficial nematodes to your property annually isn't expensive and WORKS. We've also had pretty good results with FleaTreats (as long as all the animals eat them twice/day). We've got 6 cats, 2 dogs and are surrounded by wooded lots (and wildlife from squirrels to coyotes) on two sides. We also use diatomaceous earth (must be food grade - NOT from pool store).

[@vntrgirl]

I was really on the fence about the nematodes... .but we get a tick every year, and this year, fleas and mosquitos are out of control every year, in our little backyard.

[@fig4159]

@@vntrgirl May I ask why? They get fire ants, too (if you have them). We've lived here since 2001, have wooded lots on 2 sides of our house, and of all our dogs over the years, only one had a tick, once - and that was from the dog park.

[@vntrgirl]

@fig4159 Oh, wow!!!! We have leaves that pool in the yard and it takes a good month and a half to clear them as the steadily fall, I just assumed it was the leaf litter that caused the ticks to be in the yard. I just switched them to the diy flea and tick drops (from this channel), and I'm not great about putting it on 2x a week, so maybe they just need me to do that during peak months. The mosquitos are always bad. There is standing water down the hill from us, I assume it's that. The fleas are new this year! I only saw 2 adults, 1 on each dog and some flea dirt or eggs on my longer haired pup. Everyone had a bath with a hommade soap, and so far, so good. I wasn't sure if the nematodes would actually work. There are mixed reviews, and then I think I got confused on which ones to buy, so I put it on the back burner.

[@fig4159]

@@vntrgirl Not that I'm not advertising for them, but we've been getting our nematodes (combo packs, which one(s) are dependent on the bugs near you!) @ Arbico Organics for about 15 years. If you aren't sure what you need, they're very helpful and actually ANSWER the phone (and emails)!

[@vntrgirl]

@fig4159 I'm always willing to listen to those who walk the walk! Thanks, I'll give them a call for direction.

Your videos are informative, educational and your calm voice is rather soothing. I know you can bathe cats. I have fostered about 25 in the last year and I have had to bathe many of them. However, my own cat, "Mookie Du" ( aka The Blue Moose) shredded my arms, tore the shower curtain down, climbed my bathroom cabinets, and tore a shelf out of the wall. That was 2 years ago and he was 6 months old at the time. That was my only attempt at bathing him for obvious reasons. He is not aggressive just terrified of baths. He desperately needs a bath due to fleas. And I still have nightmares about the last attempt. What can I do? Please help me help him. 🙏

[@carolalmeida220]

Get the Tail and around the Neck good with that mix to build a barrier. Fleas will run to those areas. But remember NOT TO GET IT IN THEIR EYES! Essential Oils will hurt their eyes!! Great Mix! Ty

Treat your rugs, floors, cracks, crevices & corners with a light dusting /application of diatomaceous earth! I live on the West Coast of CA it's horrendous during flea season here & we have to fight it from a few different angles all Summer long + the rains during Winter brings the sand fleas out of the ground.. when it's wet outside, they come up out of the sand & hop all over the sidewalk next to our lawns where they normally burrow beneath the grass

Thank you so much Dr. Jones for such a good video for fleas. I have also found that putting diatomaceous earth in their bedding helps a lot. I also give my dogs a tiny piece of raw cows liver.

[@spartacus3015]

What purpose does the nettle tea serve?

[@shaunaihle218]

Question - I love the idea of this, but I noticed that you did not wash the head. If a dog has fleas, they run straight for the head and face when you bathe them. Do you also wash the head with this recipe? Thanks for all your work to educate us.

[@soapsoilandsunshine3241]

A few questions. Could I use the same EO's you use in the flea spray (Cedarwood, Lemon (I have orange) and Lavender). I also make my own soap. Would I be able to incorporate these EO's into a batch of soap. I don't have Neem Oil, however I have neem powder. Could I use my home made liquid soap rather than castile soap. A vet many many years ago to rub flea shampoo in front of ears first to stop the fleas escaping into the ears. Sounds feasible? Your take? Is dogs pH requirements the same a humans?

[@kathleenwilson5885]

Is the PH of the Castile soap canceled out by the PH of the ACV making one or the other ineffective?

[@veilbreak5867]

My little terrier is long haired. Ive found he doesnt pick up fleas as long as I shave around his bottom end, under his tail, the base of it and back legs. It doesnt seem to matter about the rest. If I find one, its on the bottom when he's over due a shave. Apple Cider Vinegar, coconut oil and a flea comb seems to do the trick. We're over the woods every night, he follows animal trails...who knows what he's doing in those bushes! But he's been fine since I shave his bum :)

[@marilyn1228]

When making soaps, (with lye), vinegar is kept nearby to stop lye burns. I realize you're not using lye, but vinegar also cuts down on lather. Could it not work better by making the shampoo without the apple cider vinegar, and use it as a pour over when rinsing the dog, it would get all the soap off. Not a criticism, just wondering.

[@A10TOES]

Pure apple cider alone MIGHT burn a dogs skin if used alone, it's very acidic.

Im currently watching everything about natural care. A lady mentioned wondercide...i looked it up and a video is posted of a man spraying it directly on a flea to no avail. Yikes. Im not going to quit! I have found natural homemade deodorant and toothpaste that actually WORK better than store brand. When i was breastfeeding my youngest i was so upset when a nurse introduced me to lanolin. I felt she wasnt taking my pain seriously and as if she was being rude. NOPE. IT WORKED!!! I couldn't believe it actually worked. My mind was blown because i was in a lot of pain nursing my baby crocodile 😊 Well i know a competitor could be sabatoging wondercides success. Im positive one day my dogs will be natural dogs and chemical free. It makes no sense for the dog to be the only one in the family not enjoying minimal toxicity. Anway, ive been blessed as a little girl to have been around animals. Its sad more kids don't have exposure to nature like they used to. Ive seen birth, matting , hunting, feral vs domestication, social dynamic, mother animal bonding and nurturing...male vs female behavior patterns and am still learning training. Unfortunately ive also learn about flea infestation...its a living nightmare 😂. My baby will be on the chemical stuff for now but ill never stop researching and looking for a natural solution for her and future dog babys. Im positive my solution is out there.. I just have to never give up researching and i do plan on giving wondercide a chance when i save a bit of money just for experimenting. Due to personal experience i wont tolerate fleas or ticks. Those things multiply rapidly and can get out of control quite fast. Ewwe. lol

[@myrramp2688]

Mystical One I didn’t see him put the shampoo on his head area. Just wondering if it might burn the dogs eyes. Sorry, My son just gave me his 7 year old Bishon and I usually take him to a groomer for his baths, not very experienced dog owner yet. But I want to start bathing him myself and using this recipe for his itching and possible fleas.

[@CUniqueTheOneAndOnly]

I noticed he bathed his dog like i do. I try to avoid the head area because of the eyes and ears. Typically my dogs heads dont get dirty. My baby girl ( 12 weeks later this month) managed to get poo on her ears and her head. You cant see it ( but her momma has an outstanding memory lol). Ill most likely use my hand to put a little washing on that area but i doubt ill lather up her face. Its really a personal preference...i dont really lather my dogs faces. A clothe and light scrubbing usually my preference...i go to town on the rest of the body. I like a clean dog. Id clean my dogs more often if their species werent dried out by it. I currently bathe my puppy (as needed) or a few times a month and when shes grown and not as apt to step in her own poo and pee...once a month. Id wash everyday if i could but that be over washing lol She gets petted a lot. I wonder if i should tell people? 😂 Im not gonna rat my baby out. She is only 11 weeks people should assume shes not on her a game yet lol

[@CUniqueTheOneAndOnly]

This is a good question though...will probably help someone thinking the same thing. I assume that his attention was divided so he didnt do the face because ofvhaving to deal with a camera there. But he might just bathe his dogs like i do. I think most people lather the dogs faces. I probably never will unless i someday get a white dog.

[@B-55]

cant be more harmful than poison flea meds made by bayer

[@VeterinarySecrets]

Generally considered safe when applied at 2% or less dilution, topically, and then rinsed off. I would use this on my own cat

Wish my dogs were that easy to give a bath. I have better luck with my older cat.

[@susanspencer9538]

But.. i thought you said we could use Olive Oil, & Baby Oil now your saying Neem Oil? Which one??

[@dennysmith7862]

One question - is no shampoo used - is this for flea repellant only? NB : Margaret Roberts - well known naturalist in SA - check her out - her daughter runs herbal biz now as MR has sadly passed... she however recommended for skin ailments - ideal natural dip : 6 large pungent smelling Geranium leaves & a mug of Orange & dark orange Marigold flower heads put into a mortar & pistle & mulched til mushy - add litre boiling water to this concoction...leave overnight or longer... sieve mixture - draining all plant pieces off & bottle liquid... ideal dog dip!

Denny the castile soap is the shampoo part.

Marigolds contain pyrethrins.

[@Zanniroxwell]

@@kathymcleod1460 what's that? Is it toxic to pets?

[@kathymcleod1460]

@@Zanniroxwell Whether or not a pyrethrin or pyrethroid product is toxic depends on the animal species involved, as well as the concentration, synergists and carriers used in the product. The use of pyrethrins/pyrethroids is very safe in dogs; however, cats and fish are very sensitive to pyrethrins/pyrethroids. I don't use it.

@@kathymcleod1460 thank you, all I know is the Vet gave my girl a muscle relaxer that took her to such decline.. I have another elderly girl now & she gets beef bone marrow soup for her arthritis & joint pain once per week and she is better than ever! I will give her more if she needs more but the soup is a "wonder" for sore muscles & I'm going to start drinking the homemade broth myself this Winter to see if it helps me too!
