Essential Oils

Essential oils like lavender, peppermint, and cedarwood can help repel fleas. You can mix a few drops of these oils with water and spray it on your pet's fur (make sure to avoid their eyes and mouth). You can also add a few drops of these oils to your pet's shampoo for extra protection.

Diatomaceous Earth

Diatomaceous earth is a natural powder that can be sprinkled on carpets, furniture, and pet bedding to kill fleas. It works by dehydrating the fleas and their eggs, ultimately getting rid of them. Just make sure to use food-grade diatomaceous earth to ensure it's safe for your pets.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar can be added to your pet's water or sprayed on their fur to help repel fleas. The acidity of the vinegar makes it difficult for fleas to survive on your pet's skin. Just be sure to dilute the vinegar with water before using it on your pet.

Regular Grooming

One of the best ways to prevent fleas is by regularly grooming your pet. Brushing their fur and giving them baths can help remove fleas and their eggs before they become a problem. Plus, it's a great way to bond with your furry friend!

This is a simple, no-sew DIY kennel bed project that anyone can accomplish.  I timed myself when making my pooch this DIY kennel bed. It actually took me about forty-two minutes from start to finish. My almost eight-year-old boxer has to be placed in her dog's kennel during thunderstorms, or else she simply goes loco. We purchased two different kennel mats for her, but for some unknown reason, she doesn't like either of them.
