I’m looking for safe flea killers and repellents. I see my dog, Sugar (female West Highland White Terrier. She’ll be 3 on September 10th.), scratch and bite herself occasionally and it makes me sad. Fleas are HORRIBLE. I know, I gave her a bath in the house before and fleas came in my room. The bites are just horrid. It’s torturous. They’re not in my room anymore. My dad bought some Raid flea repellent or something like that. I don’t want any fleas to bother her anymore.
NOTE: Sugar sleeps outside.
So I was looking for the natural, safe for pets and family, flea killers. I found Diatomaceous Earth. I was wondering, where do I put it? Can I put it in Sugar’s bed? Do I and can I put it on her skin and all through her fur?
I saw that K9 Advantix cause some dogs to have seizures so I don’t want to use that on her. Frontline plus has chemicals. So I was trying to look for something natural that won’t harm my dog.
She sleeps outside because my dad doesn’t want her indoors. He saw ‘Monsters Inside Me’ and saw the parasites that some people got from their pets and he doesn’t want any pets indoors. o-o
Mailmen use this too. I like to take walks in my neighborhood but often encounter a loose dog and usually big ones like Dobermans, Rotwrilers, and Pitbulls. I have used the spray and it has worked however I worry about running out. It’s awful that I have to resort to this but so many people here like leaving thier pets off leash. I think they do it to protect thier property.
There are some good answers so far. I have a couple of answers I’m considering to pick but I’ll wait till the last day before I vote. The question may sound silly to some but I assure you there are some folks out there who think it’s bad. Case and point – I had a big biker-type neighbor who yelled at me for using it on his unleashed dog that was charging me. The idiot was standing right next to his dog when it happened. I’ts the owners, not the dogs I have a problem with. After I was bit by a pit I started to carry the pepper spray and was afraid to use it at first, thinking what if it don’t work or I miss his head and they bite me for trying. I’ll have to say thiough it has worked on some big ones like the Rot that is always out. I don’t have to spray him anymore — just point the bottle at him.
I want to make clear a few things. I don’t want you to get the wrong impression of me. The only time I had used the spray was maybe 3 times and these dogs were big and showing me that they were indeed agressive and off their leash or not fenced in. And in response to one of the answers, I have every right legally to defend myself with pepper spray even if the dog was on his property. If the dog is charging you and he’s not restrained you don’t have time to see if he will stop before he leaves the property. They are not likely to stop anyway and how would you know who’s dog it is if its not fenced in?
I’ve decided to let you guys pick the best answer. I found a couple answers I agree with but I’m interested in seeing the results of a unanimous vote.
i have seven dogs and live out in the country…avoiding ticks is almost IMPOSSIBLE! i have tried many things to get rid of ticks, but having to acres of medium size grass, large flower beds and many pets makes it very difficult…since my dogs sometimes run in and out of the house ticks have started to show up around the house…i was quite disgusted and almost instinctively sprayed EVERYTHING with rade! i regret it now though. the air was polluted with the chemicals, and that couldn’t be safe for anyone. so know i am asking you all to please help me find a natural tick repellent…ill test them all and best one gets 10pts! sorry that’s all i can give! thank you!!!!

A friend is having trouble with rabbits eating her tulips. Here is what she has tried already: critter repellent, but they don’t seem to mind. Hot sauce on the leaves (don’t do this, but bunnys don’t mind, and it kills the leaves),dog hair around the plants, garlic around the plants. Bear in mind that she has children and pets, so can’t use anything toxic. Are there any home remedies or natural solutions to keep the rabbits out of her garden? Thanks!
