Whole lemon. 2 tablespoons thyme. 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Plus 2 cups of water. Zest and slice whole lemon and place in a pot. Chop the thyme. Add to pot. Pour the two cups of water and simmer very low for about an hour. Simmer. Not boil. About an hour. Strain. Keep liquid. THEN add 2 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Pour into spray bottle. Protect pets face and spritz all over. Can be used a couple times a week. Brush through pets coat to evenly apply.
Could I just add the 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar to ? drops of essential oil of lemon and thyme? If so, how many drops of essential oil of lemon and thyme?
Dog groomer here.. I think you are the best and I send all my clients your way when they need some help. Thankyou Dr.! You are truly gift to all wonderful creatures big and small
I’m a mobile dog groomer/owner and have shared many videos on Nextdoor as well as with my clients. We don’t really have a flea problem but have been getting more in the last few years… 🤔
@heatherspencer4058 I'm a pet groomer as well Heather and I can't tell you how many people I've told about Doctor Jones. Sadly alot of people believe everything they're told. I said you need to do your research.
Do you groom cats too? My cat is severely matted next to the skin and I’ve heard we should never shave a cat. I don’t know how he does this. Top of fur has no mats.
@JaniceCrowell The reason that happens is when the cat is shedding And you don't brush it out It becomes a big clump close to the skin. At this point you should shave it. I wouldn't risk trying to scissor that out so close to the skin. Cat's skin is paper thin. Did your cat Stop cleaning itself?
You are the best vet. You saved my cat, two yrs ago. They gave her a steroid shot, she almost died. Her heart was swelling up. Came across your video. Started giving her hawthorn berry. She has been fine. Thank you so much. God bless.
@@opsgreg8392I've never used it for my pets,but my guess would be the tincture,seems like it would be easiest to get down and also to adjust dosage🤷♀️
Dr Jones, just wanted to say THANK YOU for your Black Tea solution to eye lid tumors, my 10 year old dog developed quite a large one, I took him to the vet who were reluctant to remove it, so close to the eye I imagine. Tried Green TEA with some results then found some BLACK TEA and within 1 week it is almost gone, plan on doing for another week and periodically from then on to keep it at bay. HUGE THANK YOU.
@@mmsdcb9081 Hi, I followed Dr Jones directions which was to use the tea bags, I found the black tea worked best, put the bag in hot water and let it cool a bit but still warm , make sure it’s not too hot for your dog, test it on your own skin. Place it directly on the bumps for 5 minutes periodically wetting the tea bag, hold it on for minimum 5 minutes twice a day. I've been doing for about 10 days now and it’s almost gone, huge improvement . I think it will be gone in a few more days. Good luck.
I'm a Customer Care Rep at Silver Lining Herbs and I always send my dog customers to you as an excellent resource! I love your holistic approach and my customers' dogs will love you, too!
I rarely comment but i just want to say THANK YOU. Going to the vets in the UK can cost thousands. You have helped me and my family so much with our cat. Thank you once again doc!
And also for us humans, fleas are attracted to people that are deficient in vitamin D B12 and vitamin C so make sure you're getting those supplements so they don't bite you
Yrs ago I met a groomer, all she used for fleas, was lemon spray. She sprayed the pet (make sure you do not get it near their eyes, lemon juice, vinegar burns like he- -. She said it would take 15-20 min to kill fleas.
I really believe it's the ACV that's the key. I had a cat that was allergic to flea bites & poor thing would pull her fur out. After trying lots of things, I came across a similar spray recipe: 1/2 cup water, 1/4 ACV, 1 tsp baking soda & 1/4 tsp salt. Worked like a charm and no nasty chemicals. :)
I have cats. 1) Will this recipe also deter ticks which are plentiful on the island that I live on? 2) do I spray the cats everyday before they go out? 3) what about when they like their furs during grooming time … which they love to do after eating? Thanks ahead of time for your reply and time. ✨💖✨
@@doracotterell2863 I don't have any experience with ticks but I can't imagine they'd like the odor at the very least. I would just do a light spray before they go out & observe how it works. I only used it until my cat stopped pulling her fur out, then on an as needed basis. In small amounts, all the ingredients, as well as in Dr. Jones recipe, are fine for when cats & dogs groom. Hope this helps. 😼💖
Natural is best so I love this homemade spray!! I hate putting chemicals on my dogs or giving them medication especially when we truly don’t know the long term effects to my babies!! (Dogs) ❤
I Love how you say " Babies " I hate when a person calls my babies dogs.... NO they are not !!! they are my babies ....lol... God Bless you . I wish your babies lots of Health and a long happy life
@@RackySal Yep that gets to me too or when people say they are just dogs!!! No they are not ‘just’ dogs, they are a very important part of our family & we love them like part of the family!! Lots of blessings to you & your babies!!!
Everything is a chemical though. Even what you call “natural” is a chemical. There’s organic chemicals and inorganic or synthetic. Just because a chemical is organic, it doesn’t mean it’s safe for you and just because it’s human made or synthetic/inorgamic, it doesn’t mean it’s bad for you. Grapes and chocolate for example. They are natural yet lethal for dogs and safe for humans.
Thank you so much you are an Earth Angel. You help so may people with little fur babe issues. A lot of people can’t afford vets and you are helping us all for free. My little fur babes say a big thank you and cuddles to Tula ❤
I'll try what you said! Cause my dog was screaming so much I couldn't get any sleep. So I want to thank you. It works! Cause he is doing better praise god
Thank You 🎉 Thank You🎉 Thank You🎉 No other vet I know of is as kind hearted to help us with our doggies and Kitties as you.🎉❤🎉 You are God sent for us!❤🎉❤
No. The coffee filter will absorb the oils. Coffee made with a coffee filter has less cholesterol than coffee made with a French press, because the filter absorbs the oils. I used to work for Starbucks.
@@peaceofmyhearthomestead4611 Reusable coffee filters are made of fine mesh most liely some sort of nylon. I infuse and strain oils with them frequently as I make natural cold processed soap; The oil isn't absorbed, and the filter is easy to clean with soapy water.
Dawn dishsoap is very toxic. They have a new fragrance free formulation which certainly would be better than the original formula. Our little fur babies are highly sensitive to fragrances. Please take care to protect them from fragranced products ❤
Prayers and prayers for u .May Almoghty keep u always happy and healthy .My cat was not eating properly .I gave her a bath as she has flea and she stoped completely eating and drinking .I have to take her to vet .He didn't help much .He did her blood test and said she is anemic .In the mean time one of my friend told me about channel .I did diatomaceous treatment for her flea and gave he little to eat .She vomited and pooped abd she is fine now .Vet took 460$ and did nothing .🙏🏻

Usually you wait to hear it is a product you have to purchase. Thank you for recipe that is not harmful to cats/dogs. Products plus vet visits are very expensive. A way to save!! THANK YOU😂
I've used this recipe, but it was just lemon slices gently simmered for few minutes, and let stand overnight. Strain into a spray bottle. It smell like a lemon perfume. My cat would lick it off, but it did work pretty good. I recommend it🙂
I washed the cap from the dawn dishwashing liquid and it fits perfectly on the 32 oz bottle apple cider vinegar, now I can measure it easy on the tablespoon without loosing it or spilling it on the floor

I add a teaspoon of AcV to my dogs water bowls, they drink it fine and I rarely see anything on them. We live in a very rural area with lots of long grass.
@@chrstinedivinagracia7259 I would say about a pint of water in the bowl an a teaspoon of AcV, maybe 2, it’s very diluted. I put it in all the bowls, so they drink it.
I also add acv to my Goldens water and it cleared up his hot spots on his tummy!! I also stopped all store made treats and I dehydrate thin sliced sweet potatoes and a cheap cut of steak. Keep in fridge for his treats. It's so much cheaper then the processed garbage.
In Germany they use vinegar to keep bees away from seating areas, bugs off roses, and bugs away from grapes. The best part is, all natural and it works! Thank You !
Yes any spray sounds like hissing. When cleaning the lesions from fleas monkeys dropped I had to use cotton pads one uses to remove makeup & soak with Effivet spray in the other room then wipe my cat down. Took 18 months to clear & I'm so worried about these flea products. Was using Revolution plus & been sponsored Bravecto plus this month but scared to use it. My cats hate the treatment & they groom one another. My only question is about the lemon as I heard lemon isn't good for cats, any citrus actually. Especially using these store bought essential oils in our homes - not on the animals. I heard neem oil is good for fleas on dogs but can't use it on cats.
I've just tryed this remedy on Tuesday and I'm so very glad to say yes it works my cat is a lot more relaxed Thankyou i realized that this remedy can be used for Cats too ❤🐈⬛
@@laylamcgill7270 well as soon as I started to use it the fleas were getting killed. It dident get every single one. but it does help , my cat was a lot more relaxed. then she was in a while.
Thank you so much I have been watching you since I was 30 now 40 ..You are such a blessing to the RUclips community ..I turned to your channel because..I lost my dog of 5 yrs due to toxicity levels of flea medication..She died from toxic shock from Adams flea spray she had a seizure and died ..😢It’s obvious that you are very passionate and love what you do it shows ..☺️
I'm so sorry that happened to your beautiful dog.My older female King Charles' cavalier.Spaniel also has seizures with front line.So I hope this natural remedy works!!
I'm SO sorry to hear this. It's so hard when we lose them....I'm still grieving my girl and its been 2 years💔Advantage did it to mine,,the drops you put on the neck. We had fleas one year SO BAD it was like an infestation. I mean BAD. I tried everything and against my better judgement finally used the drops. Within 3 days my beautiful,beloved dog went from being full of life to deaths door. Including seizures. I almost lost her. Her eyes were glazed and it was like watching her dying right in front of me.She never regained the use of her back legs and for 4 years after I carried 60 pounds of pit bull EVERYWHERE~she thought she was a princess lol. She was❤ She's gone from old age now,and was the BEST dog I've ever known,,and I've known a lot~!! RIP RileyRooster.........❤ Sidenote.....my vet vehemently denied that it was the flea drops that caused her to become so sick~! I KNOW it was,and I'll never use that stuff on any pet EVER again.......I also take every opportunity to tell others about what happened to my RileyRoo so they don't go thru what she did !!
I made this with rosemary, lemon and a drop of tea tree oil and it really works like a charm if you see a flea on your pup. I look forward to trying the thyme and ACV with the lemon as may be gentler.
@@amitisshahbanu5642 I made a double batch as I had 2puppies... 2lemons, 4sprigs of rosemary cover with water about 2cups and 2 drops of tea tree oil. It was fantastic! Spray all around neck and back of ears and around and on tail their back and legs/feet. Places fleas love to hide.
@GypsyLil I honestly dont think a cat would lick itself with it on. It was fantastic! Spray all around neck and back of ears and around and on tail their back and legs/feet. Places fleas love to hide. I would spray my pups every day before walks and bathe in evening. They didnt lick themselves with it on.
I am going to make this for our 4 dog. One of our Labradoodles has Lymphoma (in remission) and we don't want to use harsh chemicals on her. I do have 5 Lemon Thyme plants so my dogs will smell extra-delicious! 🤣 Thank you so much! ❤❤
That's virtually the same as the fly repellent we used to use for our horses. Only we would use citronella extract rather than lemon . Used to work better than the shop bought stuff😊
Love your videos and love this concoction. I might suggest to put a lid on the pot when simmering. I know when making essential oil, some is lost in the steam when it is uncovered.
Thank you, Dr Jones. Your natural remedies helped my labrador live an extra two years with a heart mumir and lung complications. You are the BEST! Holistic remedies are the path to health and vitality for animals and humans.
laffing I thought the same thing and this is even healthy enough for us to drink if you can take the taste when I cook some up I will taste it, I just have to get some fresh thyme
Ok so what I did was use the lemon and thyme essential oils I had on hand instead of boiling etc… used 1 cup of water and used 4-5 drops of each oil, then added the Apple cider vinegar. Quick n easy ! Worked better than any chemical rap I’ve ever used!
Love this, I do have all ingredients and I used these products after bathing my dog who got fleas and ringworm from a cat. After bathing her i rinsed her off with Apple cider vinegar dried her then dabbed apple cider vinegar on her visible spots. I then mixed thyme and lemon into coconut oil and rubbed onto her skin. A few days later after repeats ( not bath) and she was all good in less than a week. I used diamatious dirt on her bed and her beautiful coat. No drs for us.
Yay I finally have a better kitchen utensil then someone lol I’m a first time home renter and still getting stuff for my kitchen 😅 I have a netted strainer 😅😅 But ima deff use this I took in a cat that was a stray and I didn’t think about fleas😭😭 hope this works🫶🏼🫶🏼 Thank you!!!❣️Will update❣️
Here in Norway we have only ticks. Lots. And I used lots of repellants on my Tibby mix as we are out a lot. I found out Coconut oil was very effective. But I always check her fur. TX for exellent tips dr.😊
I love all your videos DR. I always tell my friends and family about your channel . Tula is so cute! She is in a very good hands ! She is lucky to have you as her Dad . Thanks doctor ! We love you in these house 🥰❤️🐶
My little booboo recently passed and did not struggle with fkeas as I treated her with all natural effective prodicts like this plus an amber necklace sewn onto the inside of her collar . How ever now I live next door to a few sweet cats a mother and son whom visit daily and have fleas. I did put their gaurdians onto your channel but still have not treated them , even after encouragong them on 2 different occassions . I keep them out now but will treat them myself as they still come sit on my door step where yhwy both scratch 😂🤣 thank yoo Andrew 🥰
You can probably use a coffee filter as a fine strain . This is the recipe I was looking for . I believe my dog has flees because he has less hair groin area and armpits . He also scratches. Thank you ❤
We live near a creekbed and every time we go outside, I have been brushing my Catahoula with a wire brush and then spraying her coat all over (including ears, belly and paws) with pure coconut oil….no ticks or fleas all year and we had a ton of rain this year. She’s in the woods daily. Plus she smells great! I think it keeps her coat too slippery for them to hang on?? Or maybe the fleas and ticks don’t like the smell? Also, no more scratching anymore 🙂
@@journeythegoldenretriever No flies, no fleas, no ticks…and I rub it in her coat and in her ears and even on her paws…which she licks off. But my Catahoula is short haired and this breed can be sensitive to ornamental grasses and plants. Honestly her fur absorbs it and no issues if I keep it up daily.
We started using the flea preventive Bravecto... the chewable for my little dog and the topical for the bigger guy. Unfortunately, the bigger dog has developed a horrible, smelly, itchy skin condition, despite being on Bravecto. The commercial products recommended by the vet haven't helped (mousse, anti-sebbhorea shampoo, etc.)., and i came to RUclips looking for help. I found Dr. Jones' other videos. I just prepared the apple cider vinegar, green tea & lavender oil spray, and I'm about to run out and buy Selsun Blue. I have a good feeling about this!! Thank you Dr. Jones!🙏 P.S. One of my cats gets a bald patch when i give him the flea prevention. I tried the diatomaceous earth powder but i feel it's hit or miss with that.
@Onelove313 Yes, the Selsun Blue shampoo has made a difference! The DIY spray seems to be helping him because he doesn't "flee" when I try to spray his nether regions and the folds of his legs (doggie armpits). His constant scratching has greatly diminished too!
Ooh I am so going to the store. I live in Florida & the sand & heat is like a flea get in free all u can eat restaurant. My poor fur babies. I put salt on the rugs and vacuum so much. I'm so excited to try this thank you ❤
Dr Jones you remind me of the movie Easy Rider. Free Love, Anti War and Give Peace a Chance. One of my greatness honors has been buddies remember me by my dog's name. Thanks.

In Germany they use vinegar to keep bees away from seating areas, bugs off roses, and bugs away from grapes. The best part is, all natural and it works! Thank You !
Do they use white vinegar? Apple cider vinegar gets a bit funky by itself, but I think lemon would likely help with that.
Now for me to get all my cats to cooperate with this treatment plan. Thanks, Doc!
Good luck! I have 4 cats, and understand the struggle.
I’m doing it today. I’m scared of feline hostility! How did it seem to work for you?
Instead of spraying it on the cat, I spray it on my hands and then rub it into her coat. My cat spooks at the hissing sound of the spray bottle.😺♥️
Yes any spray sounds like hissing. When cleaning the lesions from fleas monkeys dropped I had to use cotton pads one uses to remove makeup & soak with Effivet spray in the other room then wipe my cat down. Took 18 months to clear & I'm so worried about these flea products. Was using Revolution plus & been sponsored Bravecto plus this month but scared to use it.
My cats hate the treatment & they groom one another.
My only question is about the lemon as I heard lemon isn't good for cats, any citrus actually. Especially using these store bought essential oils in our homes - not on the animals.
I heard neem oil is good for fleas on dogs but can't use it on cats.
Is this safe for babies? Kittens I mean
I've just tryed this remedy on Tuesday and I'm so very glad to say yes it works my cat is a lot more relaxed Thankyou i realized that this remedy can be used for Cats too ❤🐈⬛
@@Tiger804 how long did it take to start working by chance?
@@laylamcgill7270 well as soon as I started to use it the fleas were getting killed. It dident get every single one. but it does help , my cat was a lot more relaxed. then she was in a while.
Thank you so much I have been watching you since I was 30 now 40 ..You are such a blessing to the RUclips community ..I turned to your channel because..I lost my dog of 5 yrs due to toxicity levels of flea medication..She died from toxic shock from Adams flea spray she had a seizure and died ..😢It’s obvious that you are very passionate and love what you do it shows ..☺️
I'm so sorry that happened to your beautiful dog.My older female King Charles' cavalier.Spaniel also has seizures with front line.So I hope this natural remedy works!!
@@audraconnors8568 Thanks sorry for your loss as well ..I wish there was more awareness about these deadly flea medications ..
I did not know this about Frontline or other flea meds. Thanks for posting!
I'm SO sorry to hear this. It's so hard when we lose them....I'm still grieving my girl and its been 2 years💔Advantage did it to mine,,the drops you put on the neck. We had fleas one year SO BAD it was like an infestation. I mean BAD. I tried everything and against my better judgement finally used the drops. Within 3 days my beautiful,beloved dog went from being full of life to deaths door. Including seizures. I almost lost her. Her eyes were glazed and it was like watching her dying right in front of me.She never regained the use of her back legs and for 4 years after I carried 60 pounds of pit bull EVERYWHERE~she thought she was a princess lol.
She was❤
She's gone from old age now,and was the BEST dog I've ever known,,and I've known a lot~!!
RIP RileyRooster.........❤
Sidenote.....my vet vehemently denied that it was the flea drops that caused her to become so sick~! I KNOW it was,and I'll never use that stuff on any pet EVER again.......I also take every opportunity to tell others about what happened to my RileyRoo so they don't go thru what she did !!
@viviennetclarke2421 this is horrible 😢
Youre a gift to this world! We love you 😭
I recommend coffee filters inside a funnel for straining your homemade preparations, especially w a spray bottle.
Oh that’s brilliant! Thank you. Mine always gets clogged with the tiny herbs.
He's honest
I can never resist watching this gorgeous man. 🤩
I'm so glad I found you and your natural flea and tick repellent.
I’m Italy I use so much thyme for my arthritis pain have it as a tea. This is good what you are making for my cat ❤❤❤
I made this with rosemary, lemon and a drop of tea tree oil and it really works like a charm if you see a flea on your pup. I look forward to trying the thyme and ACV with the lemon as may be gentler.
Tea tee oil is poisonous to cats.
Same proportions?
@@amitisshahbanu5642 I made a double batch as I had 2puppies... 2lemons, 4sprigs of rosemary cover with water about 2cups and 2 drops of tea tree oil. It was fantastic! Spray all around neck and back of ears and around and on tail their back and legs/feet. Places fleas love to hide.
@GypsyLil I honestly dont think a cat would lick itself with it on. It was fantastic! Spray all around neck and back of ears and around and on tail their back and legs/feet. Places fleas love to hide. I would spray my pups every day before walks and bathe in evening. They didnt lick themselves with it on.
Tea tree oil is toxic for cats.
Yes natural is best my vet is a animal holistic she’s so lovely she does all herbal and natural meds for animals ❤
❤❤❤amazing - I ddnt have to wait a hour with nonsensical commentary

THx Dr Jones! Will make this tomorrow for my Beagle. Kind Regards from Ontario.
your the absolute best Dr. Jones
Doctor jones thank you for your demo.gbus always
Thank you for sharing!! We here in Maine need these recipes for flees .
I am going to make this for our 4 dog. One of our Labradoodles has Lymphoma (in remission) and we don't want to use harsh chemicals on her.
I do have 5 Lemon Thyme plants so my dogs will smell extra-delicious! 🤣
Thank you so much! ❤❤
Sounds great!
Thankyou for this great natural idea! Lucky Tula to have you as a dad!
Love your videos. Thank you for you do for our fur babies 💕 🐶
That's virtually the same as the fly repellent we used to use for our horses. Only we would use citronella extract rather than lemon . Used to work better than the shop bought stuff😊
Thank you I have 6 cats and all these apply😊❤
Love your videos and love this concoction. I might suggest to put a lid on the pot when simmering. I know when making essential oil, some is lost in the steam when it is uncovered.
Thank you for bucking the system and providing truth in animal care!
Why not put the lemon, thyme and water in a blender before simmering it? This might break down the oils faster.
Thank you, Dr Jones. Your natural remedies helped my labrador live an extra two years with a heart mumir and lung complications. You are the BEST! Holistic remedies are the path to health and vitality for animals and humans.
We came here for vet secrets and got cooking secrets.
Dr. Jones you have thrown us a curve ball!
laffing I thought the same thing and this is even healthy enough for us to drink if you can take the taste when I cook some up I will taste it, I just have to get some fresh thyme
Dr Jones. Thank you for all your wonderful information about natural things to use on are pets to help them. God bless you!
I see my Instant pot full of those goodies simmering! I'll bet the house will smell delicious too. ☺
I Love it Dr. Jones a flea spray that doubles for us older Gentlemen as a Prostate shrinker/urine flow enhancer .
😂😅😂
He’s the best! Share, share, share 🤗🙏
Thank you DEAR Dr. JONES you are the best, love and admiration from Madrid Spain ❤❤❤
Great stuff here! I worked very well on my little Jagd terrier. Thank You for sharing!
🍀💕THANK you again to our one and only dr Jones from🇩🇰🍀
Ok so what I did was use the lemon and thyme essential oils I had on hand instead of boiling etc… used 1 cup of water and used 4-5 drops of each oil, then added the Apple cider vinegar. Quick n easy ! Worked better than any chemical rap I’ve ever used!
Thank you for sharing your method - natural remedies can be so effective and much gentler on our pets. Well done! 🌿🐾
Awwhhh cute choc colored puddle poodle‼️🌹🌹🌹🌹
Love this, I do have all ingredients and I used these products after bathing my dog who got fleas and ringworm from a cat. After bathing her i rinsed her off with Apple cider vinegar dried her then dabbed apple cider vinegar on her visible spots. I then mixed thyme and lemon into coconut oil and rubbed onto her skin. A few days later after repeats ( not bath) and she was all good in less than a week. I used diamatious dirt on her bed and her beautiful coat. No drs for us.
I’ll try that today😉. I had treat the dogs , it got really hot and I got attacked by fleas. The flea bites lingers on my body for over 2 weeks.
Thank you for all you do for us and our pets😘
Any time! 😊
Thank you so much for what you do!❤
Yay I finally have a better kitchen utensil then someone lol I’m a first time home renter and still getting stuff for my kitchen 😅 I have a netted strainer 😅😅 But ima deff use this I took in a cat that was a stray and I didn’t think about fleas😭😭 hope this works🫶🏼🫶🏼 Thank you!!!❣️Will update❣️
I would love a copy of your free book. Thank you, Tina
Yes and can be found here:drjonesnaturalpet.com/
Here in Norway we have only ticks. Lots. And I used lots of repellants on my Tibby mix as we are out a lot. I found out Coconut oil was very effective. But I always check her fur. TX for exellent tips dr.😊
I love all your videos DR. I always tell my friends and family about your channel . Tula is so cute! She is in a very good hands ! She is lucky to have you as her Dad . Thanks doctor ! We love you in these house 🥰❤️🐶
Thank you! ❤️
@@VeterinarySecrets Is this spray ok for kitties too?
I still love the Neem Oil spray!
My little booboo recently passed and did not struggle with fkeas as I treated her with all natural effective prodicts like this plus an amber necklace sewn onto the inside of her collar .
How ever now I live next door to a few sweet cats a mother and son whom visit daily and have fleas.
I did put their gaurdians onto your channel but still have not treated them , even after encouragong them on 2 different occassions .
I keep them out now but will treat them myself as they still come sit on my door step where yhwy both scratch 😂🤣 thank yoo Andrew 🥰
❤❤❤❤thank you thank you 😊 doctor you are the best. Sending you love 💕 and hugs.
The TICK FIGHTER SPRAY has worked wonders on my dog. It’s effective and doesn’t cause any discomfort.
You can also peel a lemon and get just the skin so cut up like you showed and add a couple handfuls of just the lemon skin for good measure.
Thank you Dr. Jones keep the help coming appreciate honest help!
You are so good. I love watching 👀 your videos. Thx for sharing this with us all. ❤😊
You are so welcome 😊
Great stuff, and simple to do.
Love the New Way you done your Video.
It was Very detailed too. 🐶💛
Glad you liked it!
@@VeterinarySecrets 🙂
Always super helpful videos! Thank you for all you teach to us for our fur babies💞
You can probably use a coffee filter as a fine strain . This is the recipe I was looking for . I believe my dog has flees because he has less hair groin area and armpits . He also scratches. Thank you ❤
We live near a creekbed and every time we go outside, I have been brushing my Catahoula with a wire brush and then spraying her coat all over (including ears, belly and paws) with pure coconut oil….no ticks or fleas all year and we had a ton of rain this year. She’s in the woods daily. Plus she smells great! I think it keeps her coat too slippery for them to hang on?? Or maybe the fleas and ticks don’t like the smell? Also, no more scratching anymore 🙂
How does it work with black flies? Also do you clean off the coconut oil each evening or just leave it on?
@@journeythegoldenretriever No flies, no fleas, no ticks…and I rub it in her coat and in her ears and even on her paws…which she licks off. But my Catahoula is short haired and this breed can be sensitive to ornamental grasses and plants.
Honestly her fur absorbs it and no issues if I keep it up daily.
Can you tell me do you dilute it with water? I have a jar of organic coconut oil & I used it when my furgirl had matts.
💖Thank you so much💖
We started using the flea preventive Bravecto... the chewable for my little dog and the topical for the bigger guy. Unfortunately, the bigger dog has developed a horrible, smelly, itchy skin condition, despite being on Bravecto. The commercial products recommended by the vet haven't helped (mousse, anti-sebbhorea shampoo, etc.)., and i came to RUclips looking for help. I found Dr. Jones' other videos. I just prepared the apple cider vinegar, green tea & lavender oil spray, and I'm about to run out and buy Selsun Blue. I have a good feeling about this!! Thank you Dr. Jones!🙏
P.S. One of my cats gets a bald patch when i give him the flea prevention. I tried the diatomaceous earth powder but i feel it's hit or miss with that.
Hey there do you have an update? Thanks 👍🏽
@Onelove313 Yes, the Selsun Blue shampoo has made a difference! The DIY spray seems to be helping him because he doesn't "flee" when I try to spray his nether regions and the folds of his legs (doggie armpits). His constant scratching has greatly diminished too!
Tula says “I might look like a dog, but I’m really a Guinea pig!” 😊
That's funny, that's really funny 😁
😊
😅
Thank you Tula!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
Wonderful!!!! Not crazy expensive and wow it works!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
2 seconds in I will trust everything this man says
I’m gonna try this recipe. I’m always fighting fleas on my cat not my dog, but my cat isn’t that weird
Thanks, Doc.....you are wonderful!
This work on ticks too?
Ooh I am so going to the store. I live in Florida & the sand & heat is like a flea get in free all u can eat restaurant. My poor fur babies. I put salt on the rugs and vacuum so much. I'm so excited to try this thank you ❤
Dr Jones you remind me of the movie Easy Rider. Free Love, Anti War and Give Peace a Chance. One of my greatness honors has been buddies remember me by my dog's name. Thanks.
What is your dog's name?
@@pamanderson1417 I have 2 K9s now. Sweet Polly (courtesy of my stepdaughter) and Purebred... She followed us home when we were patrolling the neighborhood.
