Today in America, a large number of pets are exposed to chemicals that can be harmful and even deadly. These chemicals can be found in local flea and tick medicines, which are sold by veterinarians, sold in pet stores and promoted online, and can be found in flea soaps that can be found on grocery store shelves. If you read the fine print, you’ll see a warning: don’t apply it to your skin. Even the foam.

Like humans, some animals are well versed in chemicals, while others suffer from severe reactions. Once my dogs had fleas, our vet cured all three of them – and although two of them were fine, Blue Heeler itched until he bled for a month. What a relief when this thing finally came out of his system.

To prevent fleas from appearing in cats and dogs, plant mint and/or catnip in places where they walk and lie. The simple rubbing of this plant gives it a repellent layer. However, be careful when you plant it. It grows and spreads like a weed. Both plants help to scare away mosquitoes, so they are useful if planted near the patio.
