baking soda and salt, in equal mixture spread on carpets and along perimeter of room, pour into all cracks in wood floor, mix it with Diatomaceous earth if you like, vacuum alot, then spread it all over Again and repeat until the fleas be gone

[@DannyCastano_uPu]

so far this has been the best tutorial for getting rid of the fleas on your dog including things that may be toxict for your dog, in general a much better tut vid and much more professional too, i wonder how come it has so little views and likes.

[@chinookvalley]

Danny Some people feel they must use what the mainstream docs recommend, even tho' those meds are KNOWN to be deadly. Same with people who will not consider holistic medicines, because they have been brainwashed into using deadly Rx instead of safer supplements.

[@cathyt144]

Hey,i just wanted to share a natural remedy tip for yal. When dogs ingest fleas while grooming they can get tapeworms . If you give your dog raw carrot, either shredded or carrot sticks( my yorkies and my 80 pd APBT love the sticks like candy) the carrots will kill the tapeworms and also the eggs in their stomachs. I have seen it work with a yorkie . Its pretty gross when they pass them the next day or next time they poop. Much better than a shot or pills or any other chemical for sure. Summer months in North Alabama are perfect breeding mos because of heat and humidity so i have to keep a close watch for them being brought back inside. We have a lot of stray cats that come to eat so they get in my yard ,then jump on my dogs when we go for walks even tho i do give them flea protection. Also, if you mix a spray bottle with ACV( apple cider vinegar). , Water, and a few drops of blue Dawn and spray their feet before bringing them back inside it helps . Putting the diamateceous earth( food grade) outside the door and around the yard it helps too . The DE penetrates their exoskeleton and basically dries them out. Its like little shards of glass ,so try not to let your dogs or yourself breathe it into lungs. I had to stop using the DE inside when i started raising birds. If you use it outside you have to reapply after it rains.

[@CB-ob3gw]

Do you know if the 🥕 remedy will work on cats too or just dogs? My cats are always getting worms and I can't 😫 take care of them is what I feel cuz they keep getting them and I really love all your advice ! Your a big help to me and thank you

[@sheri2845]

Thank you.

[@sussybaka551]

@@CB-ob3gw fleas & tapeworms are a "cycle" scenario altogether. You have to control the fleas first, because they feed on the tapeworm eggs. If you've ever noticed little "sesame seeds" around your cat's bedding, on your clothes, or even on your bedding (lint rollers are a MUST) then your cat has tapeworms. Those "seeds" are pods that come off tapeworms, containing eggs inside. They're difficult to see except on dark fabrics or lint rollers. You'll have to clean those up DAILY. Also, fleas lay nearly 60 eggs a day, which can become an infestation in no time. Get a flea comb & comb pets often. Apple Cider Vinegar can be sprayed around your home safely, just dilute it equal parts water & add Dawn dish soap. Diatomaceous Earth (food grade) is great, just keep pets away while you spread it around. Pumpkin seeds, oregano, and coconut oil are great for dogs/cats in ridding tapeworms. Add a teaspoon of ACV to pets water too. Clean often, and understand it's a process to be fully rid these 2 main pests. Best of luck!

People let cats n dogs come to their beds ? R these fleess safe for human ???? Also turmeric in Mustard oil ( anti bacterial n strong smell ) can kill them ? I dont know how these things look .

Eucalyptus oil can be toxic to dogs if ingested or applied to their skin. The smell of eucalyptus oil can irritate a dog's respiratory system, causing coughing, sneezing, and nasal discharge. If ingested, eucalyptus oil can cause stomach and neurological issues, including seizures. If applied to a dog's skin, eucalyptus oil can cause allergic reactions or chemical burns.

I found by accident a way to keep fleas from getting away and killing at same time. My cat spends lots of time out side so every day I use flea comb. The live fleas can jump a mile off the comb. I had some petroleum . I now keep a paper towel beside me with a big glob on it. As soon as I clean the comb it goes into the jelly. Suffocate flea and stops jumping or running. Also keeps hair from flying all over.

Petroleum jelly or vaseline ?

We have had ticks here in southern Colorado all winter long. The last few years, humidity and heat increase, we have seen more fleas and ticks than I have seen in the last 35 years of living here. Diatomaceous earth topically, and in their diet to prevent worms and other parasites.

FYI Doctor Andrew, At the end of the video - there is no link that pops up on the video. Thanks for a great video - Very good tips, especially the lesser known dehumidifier. Never heard of that, but makes complete sense! You don't find fleas in Phoenix, AZ where it's a desert and not humid, but you do find fleas in hot and humid parts of the country.

I love DE and it is working to bring down the flea population in my house, but I’ve noticed that my FIV cat’s back is a bit more itchy/sensitive post DE. I’m still learning about FIV (I have 2 FIV+’s) and hope to join the Inner Circle so I can ask add’l questions about holistic FIV+ care. I so want to avoid using Capstar, but treating fleas while not being able to touch one of my cats (rescue, taming in-process) is challenging. Your feline supplement and kidney disease video advice saved my 2 older cats’ lives and I plan on my getting my new cats on the supplement ASAP. Thanks!

[@ayema5449]

En Sabah Nur I have read that it is not healthy to breathe DE (Diatomaceous Earth) because it will do the same to you and your pet's lungs as it does to the fleas (microscopically make cuts inside). I have used boric acid (borax) on my carpets, upholstery, along the baseboard on the floor, etc. and it is very effective in eliminating fleas. I only use DE outside. If it says "Ant and Crawling Insect Killer" on the box then it is not "food grade". "Food grade" means that you can ingest it. There is not a need to use "food grade" outside.

I hooked up with a friend of mine that lived in a slumlord house and had roaches everywhere.I talked the slumlord into letting me put DE in the walls and this got rid of the roaches in about a month.The DE ripped out the bottom sides of the roaches as they crawled though it.I forgot to put my dust mask on and it cut the inside of my nose and made it bleed for a couple days.Don't breath it in if you don't have to.There must be two kinds of DE because i've heard of people eating it.

[@johanna11980]

Yes, there is Bruce ... there is a commercial type of DE and a food grade ... always get the food grade ... and if working with DE always wear a mask ... though you didn't mention this, DE should be used in places where there wouldn't be a lot of wind movement so as to prevent the DE from becoming airborne and breathing it in ... hope you are feeling better :)

SAFE TO USE but horrible to clean up. My daughter DUSTED our entire house with this. I could barely breathe until it settled and then literally EVERYTHING in the house was covered in a fine white dust - EVERYTHING. So clean is not going to be fun or easy, but very time consuming because every single item is going to need to be wiped down NOT DUSTED because tried that and it just shows right back up so SOME TYPE OF WET/DAMP cleanup up. AND SADLY, sitting on day 2 of this house covered - ran flea comb through the dog and 2 cats and still getting fleas off them...not dead or dying, but hopping live fleas. THEY SAY DO IT A SECOND TIME...I don't think I can live through a second time

Dear Dr. Jones, I gave my dog Bravecto and she got sick, drooling , panting, vomiting diarrhea. Then I found the page, "does Bravecto kill dogs, and apparently there have been many deaths from this flea and tick med . I was horrified and disappointed that my vet, whom I trusted, gave this to me for my dog....never mentioned any side effects. Thinking I was doing something good for my dog, I administer this treatment to her. No problem there, she loved the taste. Although I will never give this to her again. NEVER! I feel fortunate that she didn't die. Merck has now agreed to add seizures to the list of side effects. But they threaten to sue the site called Does Bravecto Kill Dogs if you refer to it as a poison, which I believe it is. My vet gives Bravecto to all four of her dogs and has never had a problem. I hope they take this scary pesticide off the market. It`s killing our fur babies!

DE is not good for the lungs. Be careful not to breathe it in. It wont work on a wet dog. It will stop working if your dog gets wet. Must reapply then. Great info, doc. Love your work. Wish I had known this when we lived in FL. My dogs and cat were not happy there.

[@alisatjaden4678]

When the DE dries, it will be working again. No need to reapply. Paste can be made and with soft paint brush applied to chicken coop walls. When it dries its ready to work..and the powder hasn't flown everywhere. Mix DE with sand for a lice/mite killing dust bath for your chickens too.

[@wetdewlap8741]

Is boric acid safe for people and pets? Categorized as a poison, boric acid can present dangers to humans and animals. According to the Natural Pesticide Information Center, boric acid toxicity ranges from minor to serious. Minor toxicity usually results in skin and eye irritation. More serious toxicity can result in symptoms such as respiratory problems, muscle weakness and headaches. In cases of extreme toxicity, boric acid can lead to kidney failure in people. In animals, boric acid toxicity is connected to blood conditions and problems with the endocrine system. Toxicity in pets tends to be more severe based on the animal's size. Smaller pets, such as dogs, cats and hamsters, are more likely to experience dangerous symptoms. Also , that is a myth about diatomaceous hurting our lungs if ingested... plus you don’t want to use no food grade as it contains crystalline silica which is very harmful to human and pets. Most pets rummage around the yard eating grass, chewing sticks, etc.. when you are doing research, do more to educate yourself rather than listening to a friend who may or may not have a half baked theory... in this case, your friend doesn’t know what they are talking about and have clearly not done research through credible sources.. ya know like the lies coming from Donald trumps mouth... ( there is a thing called fact checking which is most valuable in the human pysche... ohhh what a piece of mind it can give!! You should try it.. instead of pointing out silly little comments to undermine a veterinarian. Sorry... just saying!!

[@wetdewlap8741]

Sorry for posting the angry part.. I pasted the part about boric acid for you.. and the perils therof... but the rest was supposed to be for another comment NOT made by you, so I apologize.. I am technologically a little behind and I mistakenly pasted it.

She says we haven`t had her there since 2014 when it was just this summer she was there. We have the bills to prove it. This all started with the rabies shots. Each one made it worse and now it is constant. I hate seeing her like this and am seriously considering having her put to sleep...it is so heartbreaking .

I had him genetically tested by a specialist for DM. She said he carries the gene, but it's not being expressed. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

I was wondering the same

[@afa78djd]

Does rubbing orange rind all over your cat actually work?

[@sylviac6222]

Is there a specific brand of DE that you suggest we use?

[@VeterinarySecrets]

Hi Sylvia- so long as it it food grade, then safe.

[@lyngreen3431]

[@VeterinarySecrets]

Question you said tea tree oil bad I use a mixture of tea tree oil vitamin E and aloe vera in cat ears and it rids them of ear mites within 2 days. I use the ratio of 1/3 tea tree 1/3 vit E, 1/3 aloe GEL NOT JUICE...the gel does not run off it sticks... should I not use the tea tree oil it's a antifungal

[@VeterinarySecrets]

I would only use max 2% tea tree- never 30%

[@DarkLinkAD]

You can use any oil...

[@DarkLinkAD]

Also try putting concentrated tea tree oil on your skin, watch it burn..

[@dfadden62]

D Earth does not work.

[@lindagrundy6707]

But it does work on some pets, definitely works on my dogs, maybe it doesn't on some (obviously yours) but to say it doesn't work is not true.
