Flea Control Recipe

Try the following recipe for natural flea control to enjoy a flea-free summer!

Add to the food for each adult pet:
- level teaspoon brewer’s yeast
- level teaspoon garlic powder

Brewer’s yeast and garlic also come in tablets if your pet is unwilling to eat these powders in their food.

This flea treatment helps repel adult fleas from your pet but does not kill the fleas. You will need to follow the advice of your veterinarian to achieve successful flea control in your home. To learn more about pet allergies, visit our pet education area.
