Things You'll Need
- 1/2 tsp. brewer's yeast
- 1/2 clove fresh garlic or 1/2 tsp. powdered garlic
- 1 tsp. safflower oil
- 1 tsp. powdered kelp or seaweed
- 1 tbsp. organic apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Add half a tsp. of brewer's yeast to your dog's food every day to provide it with B complex vitamins. Fleas don't like the taste of yeast in their blood meal, so they often avoid attacking animals that regularly eat it. Adjust the amount to match the dog's size, giving about one tsp. for every 30 pounds of body weight.
Grate half a clove of raw, fresh garlic and add it to your dog's food about three times per week. Garlic makes the dog's blood taste unpleasant to fleas and helps with its digestion. Give the dog one clove for every 30 pounds of body weight. You can also substitute fresh garlic with powdered garlic, giving the dog one tsp. for every 30 pounds of body weight.
Add one tsp. of safflower oil and one tsp. of powdered kelp or seaweed to the dog's food on the days when you don't give the dog garlic.
Add one tbsp. of organic apple cider vinegar to every cup of water in your dog's water bowl.
