How to make homemade flea shampoo?

1. Combine castile soap, apple cider vinegar and water together thoroughly.
2. This makes a nice gift when put in a mason jar. You can also use a squirt bottle like the one linked to above so you don’t have to worry about the mason jar breaking.
3. Shake flea shampoo mixture before each use.

Homemade Flea Dip Bathing Instructions:

1. Apply from the top of your dog’s head to the tip of their tail, scrubbing it in well.
2. Allow to sit on your pet for 5 minutes.
3. Use a lice comb- you can pick these up for a dollar or two at pharmacies or beauty supply stores, comb fleas off your dog right into the water. Rinse very well, several times. Scrub their fur dry.
4. This lasts for several days, and will need to be repeated, but since it is natural it is safer to reapply more often than a chemical laden wash.
