Things You'll Need
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 cups fresh rosemary leaves
- 6 cups warm water
- Strainer
- Large pot
- Measuring cup
- Gallon container
- Flea comb
Instructions
Place 2 cups of water in a large pot and heat to boiling.
Steep the rosemary leaves in boiling water for 30 min. Strain leaves from liquid.
Pour strained liquid into a one-gallon container. Add up to 14 cups of warm water to make one gallon of flea dip. It is important to bathe your dog before you treat him with the flea dip. Use a gentle baby shampoo that lathers a lot; the lather coats the fleas and smothers them. Leave it on for three to five minutes. Rinse with warm water.
While your dog is still in the tub, pour the flea dip all over him. Pay special attention to his back, tail, neck, ears and stomach. Do not rinse. Let your dog dry naturally. Use a flea comb to check for fleas. Use the flea dip once a week.
