Aggression is the most common and most serious behavior problem in dogs. It's also the number-one reason why pet parents seek professional help from behaviorists, trainers and veterinarians.

Garlic
Fleas don’t like garlic, so it’s a natural flea repellent that’s safe to use in the yard and with your pets.

Here’s a recipe you can make to spray in your yard when flea populations are reaching epic proportions.

Garlic Water For Your Yard
What you need:

8 heads of chopped garlic (there’s no need to peel it for this recipe)
1 gallon of almost boiling water
How to make it:

Place the garlic in an extra large soup pan and pour the water over it
Cover and let the mixture steep for 12 hours
Pour through a strainer into a garden sprayer
Lightly spray your lawn and garden area
Note: When treating your yard with garlic, just give everything one light spray. If you use it too heavily, garlic might harm some of those beneficial bugs you do want in your yard. So just give everything a light spray and don’t soak your grass or plants in the liquid.

You can also make small changes in your house to keep fleas away.

2. Protect Your Home With Quick Home Remedies For Fleas
The best thing I ever did was remove all the carpet from my home, especially pile carpet. If carpet is a must, choose Berber. Berber is the best choice when you have dogs because the weave is unfriendly to pests.

If you have carpets, follow these steps.

Steam clean your carpets a least once or twice a year. This can really get you off to a good start in protecting your home from fleas. Fleas love to hide in carpets, especially where it meets the wall.
Vacuum at least once a week in all areas. Immediately empty the bags or throw out canister debris.
Once a month during flea season spread diatomaceous earth all over and vacuum after 48 hours.
Reminder: DE can irritate the lungs. Wear a mask when you’re applying it and keep your pets out of the room until the dust has settled.

3. Protect Your Dog With Easy Home Remedies For Fleas
These are some of my favorite ways to stop fleas on your dog.

Feed Garlic
You can use small amounts of garlic as an internal flea repellent.

Now you might be screaming, “No, I’ll hurt my dog!”

Yes, garlic can be harmful if you use really huge amounts. Like the equivalent of 75 cloves of garlic for a 70 lb dog. But garlic is safe to use if you use freshly chopped organic garlic and feed the right amount.

So always use organic fresh whole clove garlic and avoid garlic supplements.

You can safely give your dog ¼ clove of garlic per ten pounds (use regular-sized garlic, not jumbo). If your dog weighs less than ten pounds, cut a ¼ clove of garlic in half and give ⅛ clove.

No matter how big your dog is, I prefer not to give more than two cloves of garlic per day. So if you have a 100 lb dog, still give her only two cloves of garlic.

Start feeding garlic one month before the start of flea season. You’ll find it’s an effective deterrent in your flea tool kit.

Apple Cider Vinegar – Inside And Out
Fleas don’t like a dog who’s pH balanced.

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) creates a more acidic environment outside. And taken orally it can balance alkalinity on the inside. This makes it a must-have for flea season success.

Feed your dog ½ teaspoon of ACV per day per 25 lbs. ACV contains important nutrients, vitamins, minerals, vital acids and potassium.

Tip: Test your dog’s urine with pH strips before adding ACV to her food or water. Dogs should have a pH between 6.2 and 6.5.

Apple Cider Vinegar Recipe

Your dog’s skin and coat should be slightly acidic for fleas to find her inhospitable. You can easily achieve this by spraying your dog each week with the following solution.

What you need:

4 oz warm water
6 oz ACV, unfiltered and preferably organic
¼ tsp of sea salt or pink Himalayan salt
How to make it:
Mix the ingredients in a small spray bottle and spray your dog’s coat and underbelly weekly. Avoid her eyes or any open wounds.

Core Vaccines for Dogs
In most cases, veterinarians recommend these vaccines to all dogs. However, the AAHA says, “While there is often consensus on which canine vaccines fall into core and noncore categories and when they should be administered, in practice, the vaccination protocol should always be individualized based on the patient’s risk factors, life stage, and lifestyle.”

Canine distemper virus
Parvovirus
Adenovirus (canine hepatitis)
Canine parainfluenza
Rabies

Flea Allergies and Skin Infections

Flea allergies and skin infections occur when the fleas suck out the blood from the dog or cat by leaving the saliva on the skin. This saliva is what some dogs are allergic to and can cause severe itching and great distress. This is quite often the cause of a dog constantly licking and biting. This repetitious licking and biting can then result in redness and inflammation which develops into dermatitis and hot spots if not treated immediately. Sometimes it only takes one or two fleas on a dog or cat to cause a skin irritation and allergy. Generally, this will lead to bald patches as the fur falls out from around the affected area. It is for this reason that a flea treatment program needs to be commenced immediately.

Fleas can also transmit tapeworms so if you dog does have an infestation of fleas then it is a good idea to worm the dog in conjunction with the treatment for fleas..
