Quick and Easy Flea Remedy for Your Pet

Got fleas on your pet? 🐶🐱 Here’s a simple and effective home remedy using Dawn dish soap and table salt. It really works!

Ingredients:

• Dawn dish soap (original blue)
• Table salt
• Warm water

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bath: Fill a tub or large basin with warm water. Make sure it’s deep enough to cover your pet’s body but not too high to scare them.
2. Add the Dawn Dish Soap: Squeeze a generous amount of Dawn dish soap into the water. The soap will help break down the fleas’ exoskeletons, making them easier to remove.
3. Sprinkle the Salt: Add about 1/4 cup of table salt to the water. The salt helps to dehydrate and kill the fleas.
4. Mix the Solution: Swirl the water around to mix the soap and salt together until it’s well-dissolved.
5. Bathe Your Pet: Gently place your pet in the water. Use a cup or your hands to pour the soapy water over their fur, avoiding their eyes and ears. Massage the solution into their fur, especially around the neck, back, and tail areas where fleas tend to hide.
6. Let It Sit: Allow the soapy mixture to sit on your pet’s fur for about 5-10 minutes. This gives the solution time to work on the fleas.
7. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse your pet thoroughly with warm water to remove all the soap and dead fleas. Make sure no soap residue is left behind as it can irritate their skin.
8. Dry Your Pet: Towel dry your pet and use a flea comb to remove any remaining fleas or flea eggs.
9. Repeat if Necessary: If the flea problem persists, repeat this process every few days until the fleas are gone.

Tips:

• Always consult your vet before trying new treatments on your pet, especially if they have sensitive skin or existing health conditions.
• To prevent future infestations, regularly wash your pet’s bedding and vacuum your home.
