    I saw your other video with this recipe when you used your poodle to demonstrate. I had decided when I got my previous Papillion puppy that I was going to cook all her food and not use any harmful chemicals on her for fleas and ticks. This recipe is absolutely the best I've ever used! My pitsky named Amazing Grace had used the topical chemicals and the chewable, along with a very expensive dog food, she died at only 7 years ago and I truly believe it was a combination of all the above. The only good thing was that Amazing Grace never knew what it was like to ever have a flea her entire life. I love this recipe because it works and it's totally non harmful! I check my Papillion every day, she is always in my lap and I just love brushing her soft coat. Thank you Doc, you truly are a blessing to our furbabies and us too. 👑🙏🏻💞✝️🐾🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯

    Catnip and silvervine are also good pest repellents. Not sure if they're safe for dogs though. Fresh, non dried actually gives you the oil of the plants which is more effective. Or you could just buy the oils.
    Cat's don't just roll in it because it makes them happy, instinctivly they know it's multipurpose.
    Doesn't just work on fleas and tiks either, keeps mosquitoes away.
    Catnip is always talked about as the happy pill for our cats but it's other uses and benefits are often forgotten or overlooked.

My present dog is a dachshund Cocker Spaniel mix she will be nine years old next month. And I have use nothing but coconut oil on her she has no aches and pains. No arthritis so far.

With carrots shredded into it and the nutrients they need for homemade food. Her breath doesn't smell her poop isn't mushy. But I do hear her stomach growl growl at night and I'm hoping it's not because of the ground beef. I wish I could just give her the Science Diet food but so much junk goes into canned dog food it's so scary. Any advice? Priscilla

    Thank you SO much, Doctor.
    I desperately need your natural remedy because any other method is going to render my dogs into an early grave.
    Out here in the bush in Queensland, paralysis ticks kill so many dogs of such tender ages. Some of those paralysis ticks are minute and can easily elude detection; and as you understand, they burrow beneath the skin of our dear companions. It is heartbreaking and it is IMPOSSIBLE to recover from the loss of these beautiful and devoted creatures.
    I am so grateful to you for another timely and most critical video.

      I'm a Queenslander too and have recently started tuning in here. I'm terrified of paralysis ticks. I've had a few close encounters with my dogs over the years and they survived thank goodness. Two had to have the antiserum. I'm curious to know if you have used this natural repellent and how it went for your dogs in the Queensland paralysis tick zone but also for bloody fleas.
      I just lost my beautiful cairn terrier to hemangiosarcoma and I'm sceptical now of all the chemicals we are encouraged to use in and on our dogs, particularly Bravecto and the rest of the flea and tick treatments.

    I have been trying to use a flea spray from one of Dr Jones' previous videos but my dog runs away when she sees the bottle. I will try his new mix. Out of all the natural approaches I have tried, rubbing a good amount of organic coconut oil into my dog's fur at night has been the most effective so far. In combination with frequent vaccuming, washing all the bedding or putting it out in the sun, giving fresh garlic (don't do this if you don't know amounts - my holistic vet said I should give half medium clove of garlic per day for my 7kg dog). I mix it into 1/2 tsp local honey and with a bit of coercion she will gobble it up.

      My dog used to run away as soon as I pickup a spray bottle also, but then I put it beside the door and leashes - once dog is on leash about to go for walk, I spray her fur (she can't run), and then we immediately go outside for walk, which promptly distracts from the fact I just sprayed her. So now, she is finally used to it and doesn't bother trying to run away when I pickup the spray bottle anymore.

The reason I am asking is because I read a comment you made regarding another Neem Flea Remedy on July 2, 2021 where you stated this: "It is considered safe when used at 2% or less dilution topically - the issue is that cats are going to clean themselves and most likely ingest it, and this is why I do not recommend Neem for use on cats."

    I know you’re and other ppl will say I’m FOS BUT Akitas do not get fleas Dr. Andrew. In November1982 we were moving across the Causeway, Metairie to Folsom, LA. I had my 1st Akita puppy! We stopped at any vet back then 🤦‍♀️ to get Bolo is last round of puppy shots. The nurse came out and said, does your Akita have fleas? I became insulted and gave her an angry NO. She says excuse me, I was just wondering bc the doctor just got 2 Akita pups and they don’t have fleas either. - We did get them after a dog show. But, my dogs now are not isolated, we go to the park 5 XS weekly and most of all they get bathed at least every 7 to ten days. I look and look and look! NONE.
    I’m in the country. I have a friend that comes over through the woods. First thing she says when Spring started, oh Laura, the fleas😳. WTH!
    Maybe it’s the double coat. I just don’t know. - over the years other Akita ppl told me the same. I am flabbergasted! Lol.
    My girlfriend gets Trifexus. She has a Great Dane and a Standard Poodle. I told her you might as well dig their grave! She’s hard headed! ESP the old Dane, she’s killing her.

What would you suggest for long haired cats - they are chinchilla Persians and part Maine Coon. One of the boys (with the receding neckline!) has very dense undercoat. Or would you suggest a hair cut?

    I'm so excited that I came across your channel! My two kittens contracted fleas and the only remedy I know is food-grade diatomaceous earth. The issue is, no matter how safe it is for animals, it's a desiccant and can cause dehydration. I thoroughly rubbed my pets down with it last night and spread it all over my apartment. Thank you for sharing about this spray and I look forward to using it in the near future!

      Wondering how the diatomaceous earth worked in your apartment? Mine suddenly has fleas somehow and I''m really nervous that they'll become out of control! My cat is an indoor cat, she's been in here for her whole life (1 year), so it's confusing re: the fleas origin, but I certainly don't want to use anything toxic! Here's hoping you had good luck with the DE...

    I remember reading a research paper many years ago by one of the foremost experts on essential oils who had spent 5 years studying the effects and dangers of EOs on pets. He had said that cats lack the proper enzymes in their liver to be able to break down and expel EOs from their system. He said exposing cats to EOs is toxic and in some cases, such as with Tea Tree, it’s deadly.
    Research has also shown that of all the EOs, cedar oil is one of the most toxic when applied directly to the skin of humans and must be highly diluted to avoid toxicity. If it’s that toxic for humans who do have the proper liver enzymes, what would that potentially mean for cats who are so much smaller and lack the enzymes?
    In light of all this research that I’ve seen, in very hesitant to use EOs on my cats, even highly diluted. Do you have some research supporting this as a safe practice?

    The Clinically certified aromatherapist that I've followed for years advises AGAINST the use of essential oils on cats. She recommends hydrosols instead, as they cannot metabolize most EOs.

I gave him Manuka honey, after searching on the web and he could get up and walk to follow me to the kitchen and waiting on supper. I didn't have the oils on hand that you mentioned, but I will look into that.

      @hazmania4794 Hey just wanted to let you know that I don't know how many times my dog has had those seizures. But in the process, me and my husband pump his chest and give him breathe like cpr, and were always praying during the process and he comes back after a while. We give him a full dropperful of alcohol free black walnut and wormwood combination tincture, once everyday. I wash him with dawn once a week and I usually take off 1-2 fleas. Buy now I'm going to wash his bedding and do this concoction to keep them off. I also blend Papaya, pumpkin seeds, Turmeric, beets, bananas, and apples and put them into a baking mold for an everyday treat. It helps with paralyzing the worms from his ingesting them through biting. It's a continuous process but the black walnut definitely helps. He had this seizure/heart attack more than 10 times. But I give praises to Yahawah and he keeps him here with us 😀🥰

    Thank you so much for all you do Dr. Jones, you have helped us so much with our little sausage dog who has been suffering with allergies. Thanks to home cooking, we have nearly got his skin back to its previous healthy condition. Unfortunately though, we are still struggling with his little saddlebags under his arms which he finds intensely itchy, we are having a hard time trying to figure out whether they are a sign of a food related sensitivity/intolerance or an environmental factor. Every time they get better and we treat with creams, they seem to come back straight away and the poor little guy itches them so much he has a large excess of swollen bald skin on his leg. In your experience are underarm sores food or environmental allergies? We wonder whether to start him on raw food and would like to do it ourselves, but we are unsure how long you have to freeze different meats for dependent on what protein source it is, any future videos on DIY raw feeding would be great. Thanks once again Dr. Jones.

    Lavender contains a small amount of a compound called linalool, which is toxic to both dogs and cats. Linalool is found in such small concentrations, however, that toxicity is rarely an issue. Problems arise only if a dog ingests a very large quantity of lavender. Seems like this is a slight risk and may be worth just not including.
