Dog fleas can be a major nuisance during the spring and summer
months. A chemically based dog flea shampoo can help prevent and
treat flea infestations of your dog and home, but they aren't
always necessary.



If you don't want to expose your dog to harsh chemicals, there
are a few time tested natural alternatives to flea control. For
one, many people swear that one teaspoon of brewer's yeast may
keep dog fleas away when mixed into your dog's regular meal. And
because brewer's yeast is rich in various B vitamins, it is also
beneficial for your dog regardless of its effect of dog fleas.



You can also give your dog a warm bath, making sure to
thoroughly scrub him down with soap. Then have him sit in the
water for about 15 minutes. This will kill off all the fleas
that have been submerged underwater. As for the rest of them, a
good scrubbing of your dog's upper half using a cooled mixture
of one teaspoon of dried rosemary boiled in water should do the
trick. Not only is this homemade dog flea shampoo very effective
at killing fleas, it also gives your dog a very pleasant smell.
