Lemon Skin Tonic
- bring 1 pint of water to a boil and
remove from heat
- add 1 thinly sliced lemon
- allow to steep overnight or all day
- strain liquid
The liquid can be put into a spray bottle, squeeze bottle or just a container.
Apply liberally to the coat of the dog and rub in so that the skin is wet.
Lemons are very good for the skin and contain limonene which is an effective insect
repellent. The limonene actually dissolves fleas' waxy coating causing dehydration and
death of the flea.
Use as often as necessary.

Herbal Flea Powder
Get as many of these herbs as you can -- in
powder form
eucalyptus
rosemary
fennel
yellow dock
wormwood
rue
- Combine the powdered herbs in equal measure and mix
well
- Put the mixture in a shaker type jar [like a large
spice shaker]
- Apply sparingly to the dog by brushing backward with
your hand or comb and sprinkling it into the base of the hairs, especially on the neck,
back and belly. To combat severe infestations, use several times a week.
- After applying powder, put the dog outside for a while
so that the disgruntled tenants vacate in the yard and not in the house.
