Summertime is here, and so are summer outings! Our pets love being outside, running around, playing fetch, or digging dirt. While the season is great for some outdoor activities, it is also the time when fleas and other parasites may attack your dogs and stick onto their coats. This flea infestation may become a bigger problem as it gets hotter and more humid. Here are some DIY flea sprays to get rid of these fleas.

Apple cider vinegar
This ingredient can be used in two ways. You can either spray the solution on your fur child’s coat or give it orally to your dog.

Here’s the recipe if you want to give it orally to your dog:

For every 40 pounds of your dog’s weight, add one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to their water bowl. Repeat this process every time you refill their water bowl.

Baking soda
Take one-fourth cup of baking soda, add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and five drops of peppermint oil before pouring two cups of warm water into this concoction.

Keeping some natural remedies at home is a big relief as these DIY recipes can be used to take preventive measures against flea infestation. Using chemical products or medicines once the problem has become severe may not be the best solution all the time. However, always speak to your veterinarian about these remedies to ensure you are using the right amount of quantities for the mix.
