Fleas and ticks are a menace to dogs, and the latter is a menace to humans, especially during the spring and summer seasons when bugs are a consistent issue.
These insect invaders can be challenging to deal with which is why many pet owners resort to harsh, chemical toxin laced dog and cat collars like the ones made by Bayer than have been linked to thousands of pet deaths and adverse reactions. There is one essential oil that can stop ticks in their tracks, but it isn’t always fool-proof.
To increase your odds of repelling fleas and ticks naturally, consider a mixture of various anti-insect oils and herbal remedies all combined into one spray bottle.
The following recipe was shared by Dr. Karen Becker on Facebook reels and is designed for dog health, specifically the keeping of fleas and ticks at bay by spraying this mixture on their collars.
