There are several natural remedies for fleas on pets that you can try:

  1. Flea combing: Regularly comb your pet with a fine-toothed flea comb to remove adult fleas and their eggs.
  2. Apple cider vinegar: Mix equal parts of apple cider vinegar and water in a spray bottle and spritz your pet's fur (avoiding the eyes) to repel fleas.
  3. Essential oils: Some essential oils like lavender, peppermint, and cedarwood can be diluted and applied to your pet's collar or bedding to help repel fleas.
  4. Diatomaceous earth: Food-grade diatomaceous earth can be sprinkled on your pet's fur and bedding to kill fleas by dehydrating them.
  5. Bathing: Give your pet a bath with a mild pet-friendly shampoo that contains natural ingredients like neem oil or oatmeal, which can help soothe flea bites and repel fleas.
  6. Herbal flea collars: Consider using herbal flea collars that contain natural ingredients like citronella or eucalyptus to repel fleas.

Remember to consult with your veterinarian before trying any new remedies to ensure they are safe for your pet.
