5 natural anti-fleas for your pet
Most chemical flea control products contain powerful insecticides that are harmful to the environment and to your dog’s body. If they must be used for curative purposes (= when the animal is infested with fleas), there are other natural repellent alternatives as a preventive measure.
The vinegar of the 4 thieves
The vinegar of the 4 thieves is a maceration in vinegar of aromatic and medicinal plants with antiseptic properties. It bears this name because it was discovered by thieves who robbed corpses that died from the plague, without being themselves affected, the vinegar constituting an effective bulwark against this disease.
It includes apple cider vinegar, nettle, garlic, cinnamon, mint, thyme and lavender. It should be sprayed on the animal’s coat before each risky outing (eg in the forest), avoiding the eyes and mucous membranes.
