It is that time of year again. You know, it starts with just one little itch. Then the next thing you know you have begun the battle of every pet owner... the flea war. Get ahead of the game!

Flea and tick preventatives, are full of chemicals that could pose harmful side effects. Since I work with animals and have four fur-babies at home, I have to be on top of flea issue year around. I prefer to use natural solutions instead of synthetic repellents on my pets.

My friends and family are always asking me for my advice. I have recipe cards that I keep on hand, from Everyday Roots. They offer great all-natural DIY ideas for preventing and eliminating fleas for dogs & cats. I have tried most of these remedies and they work wonderfully.
