I read these in an article in Alive Magazine. Rather than using chemical based flea products to rid your dog of these irritating pests try adding a clove of garlic or 1 brewers yeast tablet to their food daily. Both are excreted through the skin after ingested leaving a scent that will sent fleas packing. This one is from Canada's Guide To Dogs.
You can also make up your own herbal flea and tick dip: steep 2 cups of rosemary in one litre of boiling water for 30 minutes, strain the liquid, discard the leaves and top up with 4 litres of warm water, then pour the mixture over your dog until its coat is completely saturated - don't rinse off just let your dog's coat dry naturally. This one is from Frances Gavin of Canine Natural Cures.
I started giving our dog 1 clove of garlic today!
