I use food grade diatomaceous earth for fleas and worms (put a tiny pinch in their food for 3-4 days, every 3 or 4 months, my dogs test negative for worms consistently). For fleas, brush it into their coat down to their skin in trouble areas but not the whole body. Then take a damp cloth and wipe the dust off the surface of their coat so they don't inhale it or get it in their eyes. Then shake table salt into furniture and carpets and brush it in good. The salt kills any eggs that fall off the dog before they can hatch. Vacuum regularly and repeat. Haven't seen a flea in years with this regimen. And no, my dogs have not had any skin problems.
thanks for sharing I use the DE, but the salt for eggs is something I never heard, going to try it!!! Namaste
@@redheadedgypsy1939 Namaste'!
I’ve used DE but it really dries my dogs skin out making them extra itchy and it seems to leave a dusty residue in the house. Of course applying it differently outdoors would probably help so thinking will try that.
Will sea salt work too? I feel dumb asking.
@@ghoulgoil5029 Yes. All the salt does is dehydrate the eggs so they die instead of hatching.
Thank you Doc. I am from India. I tried your medication on my 2 year old Shihtzu. This evening I saw him very restless and itchy and found red patches around his genitals. I immediately looked up for your videos and found this one. It was so timely. My dog is now relaxed and rested and this is after just one application. I hope he feels better by tomorrow morning. Thanks once again.
I'm glad my video was helpful.
THANK YOU VET JONES ,YOU ARE A STAR
I love natural remedies. Thank you again Dr Jones
Gosh I just love EVERYTHING you share with us! You are compassionate as well as very knowledgeable. Much appreciated, thanks.
You’re most welcome! Please feel free to share my videos!
Thank you so much for sharing all your wisdom without charging. Your real love for animals is
You are so welcome
Hello, I love your videos and your holistic approach with your pets. I would love a copy of your book!
Thanks for sharing Dr.Jones 🐾
Neem is good for silky soft hair and moisturized skin! It's also in my toothpaste! Neem has many amazing benefits!
Another brilliant discovery, hope it works with ticks too?? Thanks Doc.
Thank you dr jones for another good video on fleas
I've never seen Peppi so calm. 😀
Dr. Andrew Jones your the greatest! No words are big enough to express the magnitude appreciation we have for getting to know these natural remedies. Your doing God's work. A true Legend!
Thank you Doctor! Please keep us updated if its effective 🥰❤️👍🏼
Thanks so much for this. Anymore tips for fleas in cats besides D.E.?
Thank you... I needed this🙏
In Scotland coconut oil is always solid, it’s never warm enough and if you warm it in hot water it hardens up quickly.
I grow catnip for my flea repellant for my cats.
I cut catnip, give a bunch to each cat. They wallow in it. I do not have a flea problem.
Thank you !!!
Oh wow..Thanks!!
It works??? Right, I’m gonna buy some plants.
I use dried organic catnip. One of my cats was a complete kibble junkie - wouldn't touch canned food. Sprinkling catnip onto it got him to eat it. Can't say for sure that it workls for fleas, though, because we also have 2 dogs. We sprinkle Texas cedar essential oil on their beds and diatomaceous earth (DE).
@@fig4159 what a great idea. Mine won’t touch wet food either so I’ll try this.
Thank you Dr Jones my Akita is suffering from flea allergies. I will definitely use your method.
I would love a copy of your book
Can’t wait to hear back from you if it works or not.
Wonderful! Thank you Doc🥰
I love that idea thanks A million
Thank you! I'm going to try this out. I've always used Advantage Multi. Was getting worried about what else it could be doing to my dogs❤
I suggest using a fractionated coconut liquid oil which won't solidify and lighter so it's going to spread/spray much better and less oily. The carrier is just that, to carry the active oil.
Thanks for sharing this tip!
@@VeterinarySecrets And, thank you for all your great info and work! :)
I recently discovered your channel and am thankful for alternative holistic options available to treat my pup. When searching locally to purchase Neem oil , I was surprised to discover that in 2012 this product was banned in Canada for use as an insecticide/ pesticide by the Canadian Pest Management Agency. Apple cider vinegar is easily available to purchase at my local grocer, so will try your recipe for that instead.
Canada? Look around at what’s going on there. They probably banned it because it’s beneficial naturally and not making big pHARMa any profit.
Try taking a multi B vitamin for mosquitoes and I read about rose geranium working well for repellant. Small dogs drops on neck and top of back by tail. Large dogs 2/3 drops. Great videos. Ty.
What about peppermint? Is it ok for dogs?
Brilliant thank you gonna give this a try witb my 3 retrievers
did it work?
@@nimshibabajee6397 i think so
Yes! 🐶🐶Right in time 🙏😇❤️
what a great dog you have! mine go nuts for coconut oil like it's a treat lol
Doc.. can you recommend some brands for the neem oil
A little bit of diatomaceous earth can be used too before walking
Love your videos doc. Thanks ... I going to try to find that oil! No idea if in my country I can find it! And indeed those flea and thick medicines god knows what can provoke in our beloved! God bless! ❤️❣️❣️❣️💕💕
Your so clever..awrsome that you shate with us..my dogs smell even after a bath..was tokd it maybe frim yeast. What can i use..all the vet wants to give me us apaquel..thanks from sharing
Great tip thanks! Would you think it could be safe on an adult pet rabbit?
Neem is mostly for repelling mosquitoes but I never used it on my dog as I read that they're actually a tad toxic for them. Haven't come across Neem for fleas tho but the Lion Whisperer uses a Neem concoction (mixed with other things) for ticks on his lions 😆
OK
In England i have Recommended your website to so many people....My Dogs love Organic Coconut Oil
Thank you so much for sharing my videos!
I love watching your videos. I have a male German Shepherd that will be 5 in August of this year. He has separation anxiety really bad. His vet prescribed him trazodone 100 mg 2 to 3 tablets every 8 to 12 hours. Being a responsible pet owner I only want to give him safe stuff that is good for him. What do you recommend to help with his major separation anxiety. That you and I am glad you are giving al of us great pet owners your wonderful advice.
CBD for dogs
I have used neem oil to make a anti mosquito, midge fly spray for me it is very good.
For now I also add lemon eucalyptus oil as well when making it for me. I don't know if this oil is okay for dogs.
But I like to find alternative options as one of our dogs has sensitive skin, but has had it most of his life. He is now 12 years old.
Would love to find something natural that works on ticks. Where I live in UK there are plenty of ticks.
Dear Dr. Jones, what do you think if I try this combination on my dsungarian hamsters? I have been applying coconut oil (flavoured with garlic and tea tree oil) from long time, without any issues, however they still scratch more than I like. Their fur is actually nice but I see them a bit bothered and I know they used to scratch less and not so abruptly, as they were younger. Seems like my mixture is not strong enough. The hamsters live in natural XXL homes, where we mostly do just spot cleaning (vinegar), have a healthy natural diet and I never used any chemical on them. They are 2.5 years old now and still active and healthy. I would be very grateful if you gave me your opinion on this mixture, I would only apply it behind their ears, alongside the spine. Also, would you recommend the same ratio? And thanks so much for making the amazing videos, every pet owner should seek natural solutions! :)
That is a good idea. Hadn’t thought of neem. Thankfully the Good Lord blessed me with a recipe idea for fleas and it seems to be pretty effective…and it smells good. A few drops of patchouli oil, cedar oil and peppermint oil in water. Shake it up and spray along the spine and a bit on then on the paws and hind legs and a small amount at the top of the head. I also use cornmint granules in the yard once a month. This, along with regular bathing and use of flea comb when I see unwanted critters trolling my pups is working pretty well!
What on earth are cornmint granules?
Peppermint and cloves, couples drops of each in a spray bottle, top with water. Ticks are bad this yr, I spray my pup before outings, she's all good 👍
Repellent and kills on contact
Hello Dr. Jones, can you give me a tips how to used it for long hair dog? Is it okay if I’m adding the water to make it more liquid? If it’s can, how much do I add the water? Thankyou!🥰
Any tips for tick prevention? My doodle was just diagnosed with Lyme disease 😭. Still waiting on labs to determine treatment. Currently he has no symptoms but I want to give him the best chance of fight this.
Thank you
Two in one good for pet and human tpo.😊😊😊 Thanks Dr.Jones.
You're welcome
Thanks Dr Jones. You put me on to Diatomaceous Earth for fleas and it works a treat. No problem if the pets lick it. It’s also good to soak your feet in it !!!
How do you apply it? Sprinkle on?
@@ghoulgoil5029 yes 🙂 make sure you apply in a well ventilated area for you and your pet. Very dusty! I have used this for my cat and rabbit and does help ❤️ also, have used DE on my carpets and seems to help but is messy. Make sure you are using FOOD GRADE and the purer, the more effective.
@@nunureds837 thank you for the reply! I truly appreciate it!
I use 2 culantro leaves cut up and placed in the small spray bottle a tea spoon of filtered water and then fill the rest of the way with coconut oil.
Can you help us with a video on herbs for luxating patella? Thanks :)
You are so awesome, love you so much,
Could it be mixed with Lavender oil as well? Sounds good to me?!
Need oil Stinks soooo bad.
I see why fleas hate it.
Thank for the info.
Hi Dr. Jones. Awesome vid! So is it confirmed that this natural spray really does work against fleas and ticks? I stopped using flea collars because of the bad news I've been hearing aboit them. Im desparate to look for an effevtive natural alternative.
I used HARTZ drops only once and it burned my 5 month old puppy
Doing video to show what the stuff did
how did it turn out..
did it repel mosquitoes from him
Please tell me for cat's flea treatment
Can you advise a natural anti-flea treatment for cats pse...?
Can u add a link to buy the brand neem you use. Ty
Recently we went to a veterinarian who has an integrative practice. She actually advised us to put all 4 of our pets (1 dog,3 cats) on Revolution ALL THE TIME as a prevention against fleas. We definitely won't be returning to her. We have had to resort to Revolution to help w/a flea infestation but it's not something we'd ever consider using constantly !
Hi, new subscriber here. This is completely off topic, but I need help. I ordered some shampoo for my ShihTzu. When it arrived I realized it was "Itch/medicated" shampoo. Is this okay to use when there is no need? Or should I send it back?
Thank you for all of your great advice...I know your videos have been very helpful for me and my cats. I want to share with your readers what we did for flea's. We gave each of our five cats a bath in blue dawn dish soap to kill the fleas off of the cats. Then we bought a McCulloch steamer and used the safe distilled water to kill the fleas...on floors, fabrics, sofas, mattresses...you name it....once a day for a week...killed every stage of fleas with one blast....safe with no chemicals...the heat kills them on contact. It has been three years now and no fleas. (The steamer is for your home...don't use it on your cats or you will burn them.)
That's good to know, thank you for the tips!
Thank you so much for sharing this !! We just had a flea infestation battle this past Fall w/our dog & 3 cats. I had never heard of the methods you used....but boy, I will remember for future reference ! Thanks again!
@@patwagner9308 Thank You...Always happy to help when I can...:)
@@madeira5150 👋🙋♀️
Happy doctors day..
I read somewhere that the mosquito repellent, “cutter naturals”, insect repellent,
Deet-free, it’s safe to use on pets. With this be true? I’ve used it on my dogs it leaves a nice smell on the dogs and I haven’t seen any fleas I also sprayed on their bedding. Sometimes I spray it on my hands rub my hands Together and then I will rub it around their eyes and nose but not in their eyes and nose and kind of in there the little flaps of their ear and around your ear but not down deep in their ear. Just try to get them covered in it kind of down there for a little bit around their feet. It helps a lot with the sprayed on their bedding I’ve noticed. Is it safe?
And also ,do you sell your own products and if so where can we purchase them?
I’m trying to watch all of your videos I’m limited on time but I’m trying to go through every video so this may be a question you’ve already answered and I just haven’t watch the video yet
How about a natural or homemade flea spray for cats and carpets? Thanks
Agreed
He has one
Nice natural recipe.😍 Below, a recipe for those asking for tick or mosquito repellents.. (man or beast)
Credit goes to a person by the name of 'wellness mama'
10 drops eucalyptus,
10 drops Rosemary, 10 drops lavender, 10 drops lemon,
30 drops Cedar or Citronella,
30 drops geranium or bergamot
1 tbsp vodka,
1 teaspoon glycerine (binder).
Half a cup of witch hazel.
Half a cup of water.
*Combine in a similar fashion as to how the veterinary doctor has done above.
*if the witch hazel you purchase has alcohol in it, no need to put the vodka in as a preservative.
With aromatherapy, it's very important not to exceed 5% for adults and 2% for children..
It's always a good idea to do a patch test, as you would with any new medication..
I'm not affiliated with Wellness mama but would love to see vet secrets test out her recipe..
A rare & odd story from here. Not much Lyme disease in Australia, even tho ticks can be rampid in nsw and Queensland. Unfortunately our doctors aren't educated on recognising it. When my daughter's friend fell paralyzed, her doctor thought it was in her head and sent her to a psychologist.. many months later she diagnosed herself with lymes disease. She was correct. We have no Lyme disease doctors in Australia, so she had to do Skype once a month with an overseas doctor..
Wow, that’s crazy! Lyme disease shouldn’t be so difficult to get help with.
@@mimijohnson7714 I totally agree. Lyme disease is classed as rare in Australia, even though many cases are reported each year. Up north, ticks greatly affect the health of our animals..
My daughter's friend diagnosed her own Lyme disease..
She was feeling paralysis and her doctor suspected she was making it up and sent her to a psychologist. She said it was maddening because the professionals didn't believe her. She did her own research and eventually asked for a Lyme disease test. She was correct. She wrote to the Medical Board here about her experience. Hoping Lyme disease would be recognised more.
A lot of people move up north with their pets and then their pets pass away from this.
I hope that doctor can do a video on signs and symptoms to recognise tick illness within our pets 🤔👣💦🌿
Need info on a flea deterrent that is not in pill or spray form... any Ideas Doc
?
I want to make some of this up for me to spray on my skin to get rid of scabies, so could you send me the recipe how to make it by drops and tablespoons thank you
Dr...1..when I bathe my dog in your green tea, coconut oil, and apple cigar vinegar remedy do 8 leave the remedy on her fur or does it get rinsed out w water then ad your new repellant???
2. my dog does not like being sprayed, or combed w flea comb. I hold her collar but she is anxious....tries to nip..how do I hold her and bathe her or spray and comb her..she is a lover but I think abused?
Cats need a flea remedy too, esp kittens
Thank you I love your videos 🥰 yesterday I found out my Zoé is allergic to coconut oil 😱 during NAET allergy elimination techniques she has so many allergies OMG she had been taking your Ultimate Canine Advanced health formula for over a year
You might want to look at sesame oil as an alternative. I have a dog who is allergic to coconut oil, too.
What about olive oil or ghee?
I use lavender oil in Crisco for mosquitoes. Works for most bugs. A friend had bedbugs they didn't bite me after I used it.
What ratio did you use?
@@GrannyGrice I didn't measure it. I put enough lavender in Crisco solid to smell it. Mixed well it was soft. Sorry.
@@GrannyGrice Lavender is known to be a great bug repellent. I will try the Dr. Jones recipe but use a fractionated liquid coconut oil instead and add some lavender oil. I think if using an organic oil I'd go 5 drops per 1oz (30ml) to start off and see how strong it smells. I'd also wait a few hours at room temperature since cold oil doesn't smell as potent.
I’ve realized that quite a few natural repellents that work for mosquitos do not work for fleas. There are so many dogs in our neighborhood and an invasion of wild rabbits for the last 7-8 years, that fighting fleas every summer has become a literal war.
@@annemurphy9339Have you tried nematodes? they work for us. We get a combo pack that kills fire ants, fleas and ticks.
Has anyone used fractionated coconut oil with same results?
Would you recommend something natural for ticks as well pls
I used this year the first time diatomaceous earth, with good results. But I'm interested too, wich remedy Dr. Jones would suggest.
I just put up a recipe from a person named Wellness mama. I hope the veterinary doctor puts it to the test
Be careful with the D.E. Make sure dog has access to plenty of water. D.E. Can dehydrate them. Food grade only.
@@conniesmith7800 Thank you, I bought food grade. I didn't know, that it can dehydrate them, I sprinkled it on the back and rubbed it into the fur.
They always have access to water.
@@kathidori8504 DE does not dehydrate dogs. However, care should be taken not to inhale it as it can irritate lungs. Cover their snout while applying and use a face mask on yourself.
@3:48 .. I'm SOOOOO glad somebody is still using solid-state neem-oil!.. That Digital-CR/-\P is for the 01100010 01101001 01110010 01100100 01110011!
What If we don't have the neem oil? Can we use something else
Hi Dr how can I prevent my dog from heart worm and other kind of internal parasites? Any natural remedies?
Diatomaceous Earth! Be sure to look thru his older videos. Here is a playlist for flea and tick prevention: th-cam.com/video/ic_CChGD5nk/w-d-xo.html
Do I need to reapply every time she goes in water?
I want to try this on my dogs. Does brand of neem oil matter?
I have a cat it’s my first cat I’ve always had dogs I need flea medicine and cat food what can I use what can I get I’d like to make my own cat food but it looks a lot harder than it is to make dog food what do you suggest? I know you’re a busy guy but I really need some help here
I see there are always more info for dogs than for cats. Rescue animal people also fast to help and rehome dogs but the poor cats are always left behind😭
What about rosemary oil
Does it work for ticks? Thanks
Would this work n be safe for chicken mites on chicken n in the hen House n bedding n nooks n crannies
Thanks for all your helpful videos!!! I have 7 dogs to care for so homeopathic is my first line of defense. So many good remedies too.
I have six dogs! I love it! People think I'm crazy, but I prefer my dogs over any human being.
So did it work as a mosquito repellent for you?
I’m going to use this mixture on me when camping. Thanks!
There's no way I'm getting that flea comb throughout my dogs heavy coat.
Do you have any suggestions what else to use please to distribute this through her fur?
Also my girl has a allergy to fleas and as a result has lost alot of her fur on her back n tail. Can the neem oil be used on bare skin?
Don't use on bare skin. He's suggesting 2%, dilution.. use a grooming brush😮😢
Fleas are bad this year for some reason. My boy cat has never had fleas and doesn't roam around till this year. I had squirrels climbing my patio screen several times a day then both my cats got fleas and now I am still fighting to get them out of my home. i can't use anything with strong odors or essential oils because of my own health problems. I have treated my cats with a topical which I don't like to do but had no choice. i bought Wondercide flea and tick and sprayed inside and outside my home which did help but still see a few fleas jumping on me but not like before a couple weeks ago. I found out I can't tolerate Wondercide essential oils are to strong for me and I got sick.
Diatomaceous earth on cat and carpet but use a shop vac
Hi, my name is Raquel & my puppy 🐶 * went to the park & came home with Fleas **
Give this remedy a try as soon as possible.
I been sharing in so many German Shepherd groups how bad the flea meds are.
Your link won't load to order your free book. How else can we get it?

I need to know : where I can get that blue bottle from it ?? 🤔
they sell it at sprouts
Love 💗
You said not to spray in eyes or mouth but my dog likes to lick/clean himself and he definitely will get this in his mouth. Will he be ok? Also, what is the result of mosquito? Did this spray works to repel the mosquitoes?
My dog too, he grooms himself like a car. I too wonder if it would be safe if your dog licks himself.
Use Diatomaceous Earth instead, no problem if he licks it.
Anything for natural de worming?
Please check this video: th-cam.com/video/BRG_TZlgiVo/w-d-xo.html
Can you use any carrier oil?
Best to check but I would use coconut. Dogs and cats don’t like some carrier oils.
this works also for cats?
Fractionated coconut oil stays liquid.
❤️
How about mange in dogs treatment
What about mites
