This is a great flea repellent...Fleas don't like the smell or taste. •Add a teaspoon each of safflower oil and powdered kelp or seaweed to the food bowl. •Fresh garlic in small quantities can be an effective flea repellent by making the animal taste unpleasant to fleas. Grate a small amount of fresh, raw garlic into your pet's food at mealtime, about one-half to 3 cloves of the clove depending on the animal's size. Some vets recommend one crushed clove of garlic (not a whole bulb; a clove is just one chamber) per every 30 pounds. Some holistic health practitioners recommend heating the garlic for easier digestion, and not to give them garlic every day. NOTE: Garlic and Onions can be toxic to dogs. Typically the problem is with large quantities not "seasoning portions". You should seek the advice of your veterinarian to find out if any garlic use is appropriate for your pet. If in doubt, leave it out.•Fleas HATE Stash Earl Grey. Tear open a few bags, scatter the tea about on your carpet and vacuum up in a few days. Fleas will flee.
