Are you ready? Of course you are. You are ready learn how to make a natural flea repellent and skin rinse for your dog. You will need 6 fresh lemons, a knife, a cutting board, a saucepan, a spray bottle, a large water pitcher, and a liquid strainer. WOOHOO! Let's go!!
1. Slice your lemons into medium-sized pieces.
2. Fill the saucepan about halfway with water and add the lemons. Cook on medium-high until boiling. Let them boil for about 2 or 3 minutes, then turn the temperature down.
3. Let your lemons sit in the hot water for about 30 minutes or until cooled.
4. Place the strainer on the opening of the pitcher, and pour the lemons and water into it.
5. Remove the strainer, and discard the lemons. Then let the liquid in the pitcher cool so that it is comfortable to the touch. Now pour the strained lemon water into the spray bottle.
6. Label it, and place it in the fridge.
Use this water as a spritz right after you bathe your furry kiddo. This spritz can also be used to relieve rashes and other skin problems your dog may have. You can rinse them off after you apply it if you would like to.
I used this on my dog Emily to save money when I was still a student. It was a great way to keepthe fleas away until I could afford a prescription from her vet. We lived near a wooded area at that time, and she never got fleas when I used this spray! I have also used it on my new dog Graciela, who use to battle grass allergies. But after rinsing her this a couple of times, the rashes cleared up, and never returned!
