Amazing description of how our dogs know what’s going down

03/12/2024

Our beautiful Lucy Lou passed away today. She was the mother of lots of our Wollydogs babies and the daughter Of Tasha one of our first Wollydogs we bred from. She was our million dollar baby because she ran into a tree when she was 6 months old and fractured her cervical spine, requiring very expensive surgery and rehabilitation so she was pretty special to us and will be sadly missed. We also lost Charlie her brother this year so a big gap in particularly Muz’s life.

Sounds like some good safe options

FLEAS
This is the time of the year with all the mugginess that the little buggers move in and make a home in your carpet!
Here are a couple of natural ways to get rid of them;

Citronella, eucalyptus, peppermint, tea tree, and rosemary will all naturally repel fleas. If your dog doesn't mind a spray bottle, dilute a few drops of your chosen essential oil into a 300ml-400ml of water and spray directly onto your dog's coat.

Vinegar
Vinegar also works great against fleas, and you can make a vinegar spray by mixing equal parts water and vinegar. Put the mixture in a spray bottle and spray it on carpets, furniture, and pet beddings. The acidic content of vinegar will kill the fleas. You can also add a few drops of vinegar to your vacuum bag to help eliminate fleas and their eggs.

Another home remedy that can be used to kill fleas is salt. You have to sprinkle the salt on infested areas and let it sit for about 24 hours before vacuuming. The process will dehydrate and eventually kill the fleas. Be mindful not to use too much salt as it might damage your carpets or furniture. Also, make sure to vacuum the treated areas immediately to prevent the salt from damaging your carpets or furniture.

Diatomaceous Earth
This natural powder is made up of fossilized algae, and it works by puncturing the exoskeletons of fleas, eventually leading to their death. You have to sprinkle it on affected areas. Similar to salt, make sure to vacuum the treated areas immediately to prevent the powder from damaging your carpets or furniture.

Baking soda works by dehydrating and killing fleas on contact. To use this method, sprinkle some baking soda on affected areas and let it sit for a few hours before vacuuming it up. You can also add some baking soda to your pet's shampoo to help eliminate any fleas that may be hiding in their fur.

Create a flea spray by mixing 4 liters of vinegar, 2 liters of water, 500 ml of lemon juice and 250 ml of witch hazel in a large spray bottle. Before applying the product around your home, you should vacuum properly, emptying the contents into an outside bin, and wash any bedding/cushions that could be infested.
