Protect Your Dog From Ticks

I spoke with a friend of mine that uses only homemade or herbal items on her cats to prevent fleas. She uses brewer's yeast (not bakers yeast), on her cats.

She rubs some into their fur once a week, and when they clean themselves, some of it gets digested.

She thinks the fleas don't like the taste of her cats blood because of yeast. Anyways, her cats are flea free.

For dogs you could try mixing some in their feed, or rubbing some into their fur and see if it works.
