Best not to use this on your cat if they groom excessively. Can be used cautiously. Only a light mist, spread it around with your hands, and then no more than once/week.
Veterinary Secrets I thought aloe was poison with dogs?
What about pennyroyal...I've used your formula WITH pennyroyal...most excellent flea spray.
Thia Love what is pennyroyal??
I'm glad you mentioned this. I need help for my cats. I can't seem to get rid of these things. I've used top spit. Collars spray for the House. Vacuum like crazy. I bath them in dawn which is a total nightmare. What else can I do?? I need a spray that I can use on them. I comb but I can't get their legs. They won't let me even look on their legs. These things just keep coming back.
@@stufcrze Advantage/Revolution.
4 tbs witch hazel
4 tbs aloe Vera juice
10 drops lavender essential oil
10 drops lemon essential oil
20 drops cedarwood essential oil
Shake and spray
Thank you ❤
Thanks 😊
I'm going to mix up some of this and pray that it really works. My grandson is a tick magnet.
Do you add water to it? How many bottles can you make with the kittle essential bottles?
Youngs Living Essential Oils
I love when actual doctors are open to natural/ holistic remedies. I’m in healthcare and they are always trying to push big pharma drugs on us
The pharma's basically own all vets and if they question them then they are out on their ears same with regular Doctors they are forbidden to ever recommend ANY natural product
Beverly Vinson hmmm yea he seemed pushy but although I love holistic I give my dog that flea chew monthly. That thing is life lol
Vegan Vocalist umnnnnn I don’t see HOW .. doctors don’t HAVE to recommend anything.. clinics are individually owned .. those reps suck up to our doctors to get them to push their product so that they can charge pts ins. Make money lol
Yes!!!!!!💘
God bless..
hey! Quick tip - add the essential oils to the final bottle instead of the measuring cup because when you add to the measuring cup the essential oil spreads across the surface sticking to the sides of the measuring cup as you pour its into the spray bottle.
Grandma traditions never die . Coconut oil on your pet all natural healer & repelant . Flees die in oil . Bits heal faster with coconut oil. Rip GRANDMA THE VAX THREW GRADMA UNDER THE BUS . HER TRADITIONS NEVER DIE
Yep I use it on my babies 😅 maybe that's why I never had a flea issue
@@tiffanybarnes3831how and where do you apply the coconut oil?
hey everyone iv e been using this recipe since the day he posted this video and I have not had any fleas! I comb my dogs nightly and no fleas they are also allergic to fleas so they scratch intensely. I have them sleep on white sheets and in the morning I check the sheet for flea dirt I spray with water bottle and if it turns to blood then its flea dirt. So I have not had any fleas since using this recipe! I also feed raw and freeze dried and I also home make meals for my dogs and use standard process immune booster and other supplements as well! NO DRUGS OR PESTICIDES
Thanks for the feedback! Glad it helped!
thank you for sharing friend!
Am getting. A dog in a week, what foods are you feeding yours?
@minarose ~ Will you please share us your recipe for dog food? I make my dogs' food also, and I'm willing to finer tune my recipe...many thanks and approval! 🐾💕
@@dbirdeycapozzi9807 hi! My vet gave me a list of foods and how to decide if my dog needs to be eating cooling foods or warming foods. What breeds mix are your dogs and can you tell if they run cold or hot ex: golden retrievers run hot and need cooling foods always hot and panting. Some dogs are skinny and always shaking and cold. So you have to look at what ailments your dog has any health problems?
LOVE THE WAY HIS DOG IS LOOKING AT WHAT HES DOING
You are such a kind hearted person, Dr. Jones, to give us all of this important info for free. I'm serious. Have been looking for natural flea and tick ingredients ever since the C, where I decided I'm done with every time I go to the vet it costs more than when I use to go to the Dr. The last time I went to the Dr. was 2016. I remember growing up, only in a getting hit by a car emergency did we really take our dog and other pets to the vet. It's amazing how they all survived living long freedom filled lives.
This sounds like it’s OK for people, too! Ticks are plentiful where I live and this might be a great natural option
I love how attentive the dog was in listening to you. Until he got bored and yawned. But maybe that was the lavender relaxing him. 🐕
My dogs yawn as an expression. It seems to mean that everything is fine, my yawn takes care of it, somehow.
Don't ask me how yawning is a cure for or covers over problems for my dogs, but it seems this is how they use their expressive yawns.

Isn’t it awesome how well we know our dogs? They are so intelligent and loving. Such an important part of our family.
@@sweetds1 I thank God so much for dogs. I had a rough childhood and dogs were always there for me.
I cannot understand how someone can't believe in God when they have known the love and devotion of a dog. Love is so obviously built right into them. They have nothing to prove, and yet they unconditionally love us. They are one of God's greatest expressions of His love for us. Just to think about my dogs warms my heart!
Kathleen Norton
I couldn’t agree more. Animals and children are true blessings in our lives and how anyone could ever be mean to or hurt either is just criminal. Thanks for your positive comments. Bless you and your pooch. 😇❤️
@@sweetds1 Thank you, and God bless you and your family, and of course including your pets!
This mixture is over the Top! Excellent, I am returning to inform everyone it WORKS: Witch hazel, aloe gel, lemon essential oil, lavender, and cedarwood mixed together works. And, it's calming and smells good. Thank you Doctor so much for caring. My doggie isn't suffering anymore.
adorable the way your puppy is paying attention to your preparing the mix as though you are preparing a meal for him
This stuff works immediately !!! Sprayed it on my tick infested pup Picked off a few while I was spraying and they died within minutes
I will say, I tested out the effects of essential oils on all the tics I pulled off my dog.
They all killed the ticks, but it took hours
I used lavender on one tick
Eucalyptus on the next,
Tea tree oil,
Lavender
Peppermint
Lemongrass
The ticks hated it and eventually died. I have the ticks in a jar, and they've been alive for a three weeks without food or water. These things are fucking crazy.. mus be straight from hell
Why would you keep them in a jar dude
When you pick off ticks... Put them in alcohol... That kills them!🕷🕷🕷🕷
s. elizabeth Maybe their being straight from hell is the reason why tradition is to burn them. 💡
@@jeffsmith6187 because I pulled them off my dog and they were in ziplock bags and I put them in a jar to secure it do they couldn't get out. I was going to kill them all, but then I'd have to open up the bags and I didnt want to do that, so I figured I'd just wait for them to die. But they won't die. I'm sure eventually they will
They can live for like years or months without a host . Crazy creepy and disgusting things !
Thank you so much for all of your hard work , research, and love for our sweet fur babies! Your knowledge and free book is as much a blessing as yourself, Doc!
I hope you know even though this is 4 years old I cherish each and every one of your videos! Truly are one of a kind.
Clearly, your patients love and trust you. You are so sweet with them.
I’m thrilled I found your channel. 🙏❤️ Merci Beaucoup
I stumbled on Dr. Jones TH-cam Videos - I'm impressed with his knowledge and I like his approach and non toxic remedies for illness. Looking forward to read his book.
An authentic healer! Brilliant and heartfelt. Thank you
Thank you for supporting natural remedies will definitely give this a go! Very generous of you.
Thank you doctor for a natural yet scientifically sound remedy.
You crack me up. It's too bad you're not still practicing, but I'm sure you're glad to be done with it all. Thanks for all you teach us.
I make my own repellent by slicing a couple lemons thinly, cover with water, add lavender, thyme or rosemary herbs (or any combo). Then boil and cook lightly for 10 minutes. Then seep overnight. I strain in morning and then add some raw apple cider vinegar. This works great!!!
Nice
Is this for cats or dogs? I have cats.
@frank&hotlips I have only used this for dogs so I don't know.
@Kernica1 I don't. I just barely cover the lemons with water. I probably add a few tablespoons of ACV.
Love vets that are open to holistic
care. Meds have their place but organic care def has precedence in overall wellness. Ty! 🐕🐈⬛🦮🦜🐐🐾
Thank you for being a natural healer when you can 🙏
Thank you doc, as usual, you are so helpful with your content! Keep it up, we love you!!!
Thank you SO MUCH for this information, Dr. Jones! I subscribed to your Chanel and look forward to learning more natural remedies from you. I highly respect you for thinking outside of the box and looking for natural alternatives for these pharmaceutical treatments many of us have been using for our animals. Thanks again!
Yes I'm already a follower. I never received a free booklet and thank you for sharing. Great knowledge have a good memorial weekend
Dear Vet, Thank You for making this great video. Bright Blessings!!!
Thanks for the video
We used to have a flea issue and then I started rubbing down my fur babies with coconut oil after the bath and my dogs has never had fleas since . It’s also great to to use to pick fleas off the dog since the oil immobilizes the flea. Coconut oil also relieves hot spots . Helpful hit
Welcome
Can it be used on cats?
@@carlyandfriends1547 yes it can. Just takes a few washes to get it out.
Thank you..will try
I have a Pom and she has just contracted what looks like fleas. I shall have to try this method. Many thanks. Just waiting for flea and tick shampoo to arrive, but whilst waiting I really need to get this matter resolved.
Great option for my dog - we live in the desert and don't have fleas / ticks; but when I travel to California, it's nice to have an option that isn't toxic - thank you!
Beautiful. Thank you 💗
Thank you Dr Jones! So glad there is a safe and effective flea repellent not loaded with dangerous chemicals. ❤
I just made my second batch of this today. It works great for my pup. And, we're in East Texas. I apply it twice a week. Thank you for all the great information!
Tabitha i live in OK and i tried what this dr said, but be careful tick and fleas in our area are deadly. I’m loosing my dog because i tried his recipes for a couple months. I felt i needed to let u know.
@@maryamsalamat7925 are you saying this spray didn’t work? I have no idea what to do about the tick situation in our area. I’m constantly finding ticks on our dogs. I don’t know what to do
Hi, where do you buy these ingredients? Thanks.
@@jaimeann9505 apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle, diluted a bit with water. Fleas & ticks hate the stuff, mosquitoes too. White vinegar might work too, I’m not sure.
@@simplemind872 amazon
On a completely different topic, I love the color of the walls behind you so much I am going to repaint my own walls in those colors.
I can't praise you enough for this stuff.
Lost my dog over 2 years ago aged 16+yrs. German Shepherd/Akita cross.
Still have my cat about 12+yrs.
I'm in the U.K. Wish you were closer. A friendly.distance. Please take care.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate all you do.
I just want to say thank you for sharing your knowledge :)
I was just watching this video and I recently saw a “recipe” very similar for mosquito repellent for humans that was very similar, and I’m going to try both- one for me and one for my baby dog! Thank you!
I just found your channel! I am a person who prefers a holistic approach over commercial products. I just rescued a dog named Lucky--first time pet owner. I just happened to stumbled across this video and just so happens Lucky is a smaller version of your baby! Thank you for posting
I would love a book. I learn so much from you! Thank You So Much!
That doggy is so chill. 😍 I can't get enough of this channel! I'm a dog groomer and I'm all about natural remedies for my clients!
Thanks Lauren
I use a version of this for mosquitos for people. Lavender, cedarwood & lemon grass with witch hazel & aloe juice. I use them as a spray & have to reapply about every 2-3 hrs. Makes perfect sense that it’ll work for our fur babies
How’s it smell all together? Individually, I cannot stand the smell of lemongrass (super strong) or cedar wood (urine smell), but I do like lavender.
whats the self life?
@@melindamercier6811 it just 🍋. Not lemongrass.
How long do u let it stay on the dog before washing it off.
Listen to this man I haven't tried this specific combination but used spray containing most of these things I hate sprays and am asthmatic and sensitive to smells but when your knee deep in fleas and your dog and cat are ate up as well smells get less important when compared to say gasoline because a flea infestation will have you contemplating arson
Love watching this pup. So adorable.
what a good girl!!! she sits so nice for her spray treatment ❤️
She is a very good girl.
Thanks for sharing. As a teacher of Aromatherapy I would recommend less drops, for a spray - not more as 1 %. Instead Lemon, we use Lemongrass or Citronella or Rose Geranium. Plus Neemoil and for the basis we use hydrosols (without alcohol) of Cistus ladaniferus, Witch Hazel, and 10 ml Black Cumin oil (fatty oil) and Coconut oil. If you have a good spray nozzle, it will work. 🌺🌺🌺For example: 5 gtt Lavender, 5 gtt Citronella, 5 gtt Cedarwood or Stone Pine, 5 gtt Neemoil, in 60 ml Cistushydrosol, 20 ml Witch Hazel hydrosol, 10 ml Aloe Vera oil, 9 ml Black Cumin Seed oil. Many greetings from Germany🌺🌺🌺
Thank you @marvona. Do we need to used all the oil you mentioned or one of those is enough? Could this be used effectively for both humans and dogs ?
You could use one essential oil only. Yes!
Neem oil is toxic to dogs if ingested
I vacuumed, sprayed my dog and his environs, (including outside...) and got better results than from a visit to the vet for the shot and pills. Thank-you, so much, Dr!! It WORKS, is SAFE, is EASY to make, and AFFORDABLE!!
Good to hear, I'm glad it worked so well for you:)
Karen, I just saw your post. If your dog like the vacuum cleaner, I vacuum Foxie and her long hair 2 -3 times a day, she loves it.
@@foxiedogitchypaws7141 My dog bites at vacuums and freaks out when they try to steal his tongue.
@@foxiedogitchypaws7141 He did chew the power cord in half on one vacuum.
@@foxiedogitchypaws7141 We had a Collie/Shepherd mix and she tried to EAT the vacuum LOL. Glad your furbaby is good with it!
I'm going to make up a double batch since I have big dogs. Thank you so much for the tip and recipe.
Thank you so much for all your advice! Really appreciate it 😊
Thank you for your ebook! I've watched a ton of your videos and appreciate your knowledge and passion for the good health of our precious animals. God bless
Welcome
Thank you so much, you’re an awesome veterinarian.
You are very helpful and awesome ! Thank you :)
This is great information thank you. I have house dogs in central TX. Use alternatives like nosodes, heartworm test every 6 months and Wondercide when needed.
cute dog, he yawns at the end, well lavander is a natural relaxing oil 😴
Love your channel...you give pet owners the BEST advice!
Thanks Jeannie! Feel free to subscribe!
Thank you....great presentation. I was looking for something like this.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you and all your videos.
Thanks for the info. This will be a new one for me. I never considered using witchhazel and Aloe. So I will keep it in the fridge to be on the safe side and I'm sure my dogs won't mind it being a bit chilled. And yes use this spray everyday or when you take your dogs out for their walks. Best be safe than sorry.
Thank you for this! It's nice to get a natural option from an actual vet. My dog had tremors for a few days after using the conventional flea medicine so I am scared to give it to her again. I would hate to be causing damage to her every single month with the flea medicine.
Thank you for the information
As always thank you sir! We appreciate you!!
This is worked for my dog . Fast . And I was having a hard time finding something better than a flea collar that I don't like. Thank you so much.
Hi, how often do you use the spray on your dog?
LOVE how PATIENT pooch is with all the chattering... but body language speaks volume... looks at his Master - PRICELESS!!!
Tks for natural ingredient info... you are a true pooch lover not money-grubber like a few I have come across...
😄😄😄 pooch is checking yr every move... like an Inspector of Works...😂😂😂
Thank you for all your tips
Your companion is precious. Love how interested he is in your work. ;*)
I love how well behaved your dog is during the entire time. He is so adorable! Thanks for sharing this recipe for dog spray :-)
You're welcome. Tula loves it!

I really liked his explanation of the toxicity or lack there of essential oils. It makes me feel more at ease about using essential oils on my pets. I’m going to buy these ingredients and make this flea spray. Thanks.
Thanks, I've been thinking about doing this!
I appreciate all your great information!!!
Dr. Jones! Excellent videos with easy to understand instructions. I have one question: How long will it work on my dogs? Thank you!
Tula is a trooper, she has the shiniest coat ...
Love your channel and your honest input for alternatives!
Thank you so much!
Awesome recipe. Thank you. I will be making.
Hello Dr. Jones, I really want to thank you for your suggestion on the organic, and healthy approach to fleas and ticks on our pets. Additionally, I wanted to share my experience with your suggestion. I bought all the ingredients you suggested to repel fleas on my dog and cat. However, I forgot that bees can respond to the pheromones. I soaked my melanois female dog before taking her out to the back yard to do her business. In the process, unbeknownst to me, I locked myself out. So when coming back inside the house the bees reacted intensely. Once my son opened the door, we came in with a few bees on us. One stung me on the neck, one them got on my kitten, a few were on my hair, one stung my son, but thankfully, the pets suffered no harm. So we have to be careful if we are outdoors close to honey bees as some essential oil scent can trigger bees to react.
I do believe that your recipe has soothed my dog's skin, and she likes it. Hopefully others would not have to go through what I went through, especially if you are near honey bees. Another thing that works really fast is a flea comb. Thank you! Sonja in Socal.
Omg I'm in love with Tula😍
💗 your baby is getting older. The gray on her muzzle. 🥰 hugs, thank you.
I’ve done the commercial flea and tick stuff, but I really HATE putting chemicals on my dog, I’m in Iowa so once it freezes, I don’t give any flea, tick or heartworm meds. I live in a small town and in the summer the town sprays for mosquitos once a week in the evening. We don’t go out when they spay in the evenings. So this year I’m trying this method. Thank you Dr. Jones! ❤❤❤
Well done and thankyou :)
❤
This sounds great!! that little trick you did with the items coming towards the camera is really hard on the eyes!
Thank you
Phyllis
I love essential oils and witch hazel is very good for skin problems as well. Great video Doc. Thank you. 🤗🤗💖💖
Thank you, Dr. Jones! I use a spray formulated by Pet Wellbeing. It does a great job.
What is the Spray you use?
Thanks
My 3 babies are allergic to pesticides!!
So I'm gonna try this recipe
Thanks for the information. I really love how calm and attentive your dog is. So adorable. Shows what a great doggy daddy you are! I wish you were in my neck of the woods in the Fort Lauderdale, FL area!
Welcome
Thank you for your all information that was helpful
Love it! How long can I store this spray? Is there anything I can add to stop it from going bad
This is just what I was looking for to protect "Tank".. He's a 110lb Lab/Pit. I just didn't want to pump all those Pesticides into his system. I've seen he already has reactions to some common dog foods (anything Purina) so.. I knew he'd be having a problem with Frontline and Bravecto.... Thanks for the info Doc.. I'm a new subscriber now..
I have a pit and found that a lot of pits have chicken allergies/ sensitivities. I ended up cooking his food instead of dog food which almost all have chicken biproduct in. He also got sick with the flea and tick meds
I love and appreciate your videos so much! ❤️
You just described my face spray! Lol, shy of a few essential oils and natural glycerin. For repellent I use peppermint, lemon grass, eucalyptus and rose mary. Thank you
I just love this. Thanks.
Also love how doggy watches him attentively. Probably counting the number of drops for each ingredient. Hehe
Thank you for this info. I made one batch and have applied one treatment.
Glad to help :)
Love your assistant!
Lemongrass Oil and/or Citronella Oil would be good additives to this too. If you can find it, Geranium Oil is good too. It repels ticks.
I love how there is such concern about essential oils and their dangers - but these same people don't seem to think twice about putting Organophosphate nerve agents on their dogs.
True ! Its been years since I got my dogs shots. Years ago my daughter took a dog to 4H so he had to get shots. Animals live a long life with out shots, flea collars or that poison oil or tablet. Her dog 4H only lived ten years. My dogs no poison live eighteen to twenty years. Dangerous oils ? Haha ! God bless simple is best !
Megan Langreck you need to be concerned with whatever you put on your dog or cat - just b/c it’s natural doesn’t make it safe for your pet.
Agree. Essential oils, especially rosemary, can also trigger seizures in some dogs. They are definitely better than strong pesticides disguised as “flea medication” but still need to be cautious with them.
I’ve used catnip tea with a few drops of citrus essential oil with good effect on myself with Florida mosquitoes for my evening walk. It smells pleasant and I don’t feel a need to shower it off like with the deet repellants.
Thanks for the channel 🥰🐕🥰
Thanks
Good info👍🏽... did cats follow you home...lol. My pit love cats....lol
I planted cat nip for my cats this year, just from cheapo seeds from walmart, and it's grown like crazy -- I have cats, so I'm not sure about the citrus oil, but I'm going to use it on myself because I live in Richmond, VA and we have the no-seeums starting around 4 PM and I usually work in my garden around 7 PM due to the heat -- and the only way you can stay out there is to , exactly as you stated, douse yourself in spray, then literally scrub your skin in the shower afterward, so I'm definitely going to try this -- thanks so much for posting !!!
@@hippiejohn3810, I was going to say the same thing!! 😂😂😂
Thanks Doc this was so helpful.
I so appreciate and love your channel ❤.
I don't understand why you don't have more subscribers because you deserve it!
Thank you and I hope that you keep making them because I don't trust the newer flea/heartworm medication that's ingested.
Seems like it's just too high risk for neurological issues.
I used hand sanitizer on my 6 month old pup and brushed it with a brush. And voila, all the ticks and fleas were dead and jumping off. The next few hours, they were no more.
40 drops essential oils : lav.- 10 drops, lem. - 10 drops, cedar wood oil - 20 drops
1/4 aka 4 TBS witch hazel ditto for Aloe Vera juice.
Can also apply where the pups not as likely to lick.
I would not do that as it may burn that sensitive area
Thank you for posting this!
Amazing. Today I was wondering if you have a video on this. My cats and dogs do not like frontline.
Thank you ❤️
