      My dog lost a lof of her hair from flea allergies with a couple of raw spots. A vet online recommended this recipe that worked wonders: 1/3 baby oil, 1/3 mouthwash (some say plain without the mint but I used the mint), 1/3 water. It really helped more than any store bought remedy. On the nutritional end I cut out kibble and gave her cooked chicken, bone meal chicken ( pressure cooked chicken bones and fat) small helpings, and used a dehydrated liver from amazon. This vet to the stars on one of the cable channels recommends organ meats like liver. She eventually beat the allergy with the food and I was able to stop the anti itch regimen. I wish you well.

    Thank you Dr. Jones for living in your light and sharing your truth. God bless you.
    I had something to share to the people,
    I had read a few articles on coconut oil that is liquid at all times even when cold, this is called "fractionated coconut oil". This process removes over 50% of the lauric acid in the oil. Lauric acid is what kills/repels the fleas. I highly recommend using regular coconut oil and melting it in a cup on top of warm oven just to make sure your getting the full benefits of the coconut oil. Thank you all and God please help us get rid of these fleas 😭

    Can you possibly do a video on diabetic ketoacidosis in dogs? It came on so fast in my dog it was the first sign she had anything wrong. A lot of other people tell me the same in various FB diabetes support groups. She passed away because no emergency hospital here would treat it. I tried on my own with sub Q fluids, insulin and a glucose monitor. But she still didn’t do well.I would like to know how this could be the first sign of diabetes. I fed her so well and feel awful she had to go through this. Perhaps it’s just age/hormones etc but shocking nonetheless. Or cushings? Your ideas on the subject would be profoundly appreciated.

      @@Hevynly1 It is a nosode and not meant to be used on a daily basis; it’s a remedy that is considered when there are chronic skin disorders, and it is usually used in a 200c. Psorinium is actually uprooting the genetic predisposition; it is getting right down to the DNA. A drawback to Psorinum is that it can be difficult for laymen to find; it is generally only sold to professionals. Staphysagria can be found at any homeopathic pharmacy and health food stores ~ even Whole Foods.
      That said, there can be several approaches in treatment, but using Psorinum for the prevention of fleas is not something I have experience with.

    When it comes to ticks, it's the only time I turn to the pharmaceuticals for my dog. We go hunting and bushwhacking deep in the woods, and had a whole ritual of pre and post journey natural tick treatments. I'd still find ticks on my dog alive and kicking days later, despite a thorough daily check. I honestly believe Bravecto saved my dog from catching Lyme disease.

    Hello! Do you have any videos on how to treat dogs diagnosed with heart murmur? I’ve just learned that carrageenan and grain-free diets which contain legume based carbohydrates are bad for a dog’s heart. I’ve always purchased affordable commercial dog food but now I’m trying to switch to healthier, natural food for dogs. On a Sunday a few months back she had about 10 seizure in less than an hour, the emergency vet, after giving her medication to control the seizures and making me think she’s ok because she just needs seizure treatment, offered to euthanize my fur baby because I couldn’t afford to pay all at once the treatments/exams/labs and my fur baby wouldn’t survive the night. I felt lied to; since the seizures had stopped I took my furbaby home and didn’t sleep at all. The next day I took her to a vet close to my home and with the stethoscope she discovered she has a heart murmur. I cannot believe the emergency vet didn’t perform a stethoscope exam. Something so basic. I felt robbed and she would have robbed me of my furbaby too because it’s been months and she’s doing well thanks to the seizure and heart medicine she’s taking. So if you have any other remedies for heart health please share them with us.

    May I recommend rotating the neem and the cedarwood oils separately. Ticks and fleas do develop immunity to toxins and pass them on to their offspring. Once they’re starting to not respond to one oil, switch to another. I’m sure there are other antiparasitic, pet safe liquids that can be rotated in too.

Saw this on one of your previous videos. My 5 pound toy poodle Khloe has very dry skin so I was skeptical that the lemon oil might be drying to her skin. However, it worked and also makes her smell great. Khloe is 11 months old and thus far her issues have been minor and all solved by your remedies. Thanks and please keep up the good work!!

    I had ordered some flea and tick spray that was all-natural, and it had cedar oil in it. I sprayed it on my cat and on the bed, where both of us slept. After the first night my cat wouldn't come into the room and slept downstairs. She always slept with me. She didn't like it when I put it on her, either. I switched to another brand that didn't have the cedar in it, but had most of the other ingredients. She didn't mind that. Something about cedar is not cat friendly, I think. Walmart has the product I use now that is pretty effective. It is called Natural Care Flea and Tick Spray and is made in the U.S. It is also good for mosquitos. I'm not sure who else sells it, as that is where I buy it. This company also makes a yard spray. Just sharing information of my experience.

      The topicals are not only hard on the dog, but don't kill all the ticks. Go with an oral or natural treatment. In our case natural was not enough, but if your dog just stays in the backyard and you cut the grass, natural may be the way.

      If you live in a warm climate like I do or the infestation is heavy, you cannot solely rely on this. You have to vacuum all surfaces and floors daily and dump in a trash can outside immediately after each vacuum. Wash all you exposed fabrics in warm water and Comb with a flea comb thoroughly regularly. unfortunately I still had to use otc flea meds just to get them under control but once you go through all of the steps you could potentially maintain with just this natural spray and combing as long as it’s exclusively an indoor pet. It takes approximately 3 months to break the life cycle so you have to remain diligent. I have 4 cats and a dog so I know it’s a hassle.

I wasnt Really crazy about her size but when we seen the condition that those babies, we basically threw the money at him and ran. I wish we could have taken all of them. We have easily spent $10,000 on her health care. We kept pressing for Allergy testing, so we would have a base line of what we were dealing with. Our Vet kept rejecting it. Finally they agreed and she's off the chart Fleas, dust mites & food mites. A medication was made specifically for her. It has helped, but 4 years in, we still have a ways to go.
