Love the fact that there are people out there that care for ALL pets and share the information. Thank you for that. I stopped years ago using common flea and tick medicines.
I used diatomaceous earth as well, for years now, and it works really good, with no side effects.
I use diatamaceos earth neem organic peppermint lavender mct oil and distilled water to spray my girls . The powers that be know there products are harmful to our animal family. Like big pharma they sell us things to make us sick food water everything toxins in everything soap powder toothpaste you name they been killing us for years the vet just the same for our animals 😢
How did you apply it to your dog ? I buy it in bulk but never used it in the dogs didn’t need it but curious how to do it
@@debvoltolina6143 , i just sprinkeled it over his food
My dog eats it , licks it off her
How do I apply this to huskys fur. Rose has thin fur she's a rodesian. No problem but the boys r huskys and they get soaked with the hose and it doesn't even wet the low level of fur. Do I need to spray the low level only
I went to natural flea treatment 3yrs ago quite successfully.
We live in TX & it had just warmed up. My husband treats the yard regularly but hadn't started yet since winter.
It was a super rainy week & we waited for a break in the weather to wash the dog & treat the yard. I have been on top of cleaning & all the things because my dog & I are both allergic to flea bites. I will get 20 bites & my husband has none😑 One beautiful afternoon, my dog spent a few hours outside; I had been spraying regularly & spraying +brushing him. I forgot about diatomaceous earth & the situation blew up. You MUST treat the carpets & do ALL the things or you will never be rid of them. It's like groundhog day- EVERY day is spring cleaning. My house is super clean. Stepped up my game today with diatomaceous earth. Seems to control it pretty quickly. I bathed the dog while my hubby did the yard... Im somewhere between - cut off my feet or burn down the house; neither are good options. Seems to be improving thsnk God😇
I love how much you love dogs Rachel plus you look like you have such a big heart. Love your channel
It ( diatemasous earth) doesnt repeal them, it dries them out once they get it on them ! We use that DE in our horse corrals too. It dries and actually cuts up the fly eggs and maggots.
does it kill ticks?
@@nybadboy5150good question
Can you actually show us what sprayer you use for the DE and let us see how much you put in your house.....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amber is also awesome for inflammation. I used the necklaces on my kids, I had no teething issues.
California (bay area)here 🖐 love that you give only the best to your pups and share the knowledge with us!
Whag have you used to protect your house and dog from fleas
Amber stone collars look nice on a dog, but didn't do a thing against fleas or ticks on mine.
Great tips here Rachel, will be trying some of these with my Pibbles
Rachel, thank you for sending me this link! 😃🐾💗
I have my new puppy, Pickles, a mini goldendoodle, and he's a lil black fluff ball. I have been really worried about ticks, thank you so much for this! I'm a herbalist, and when he's older I'd love to go foraging with him. This was make me able to!
Oooh! I definitely have to check out the shop link, the shampoos sound like really great products :D
Thanks for the video! Very helpful
For me, keeping my dog shaven close, has really helped
This is fantastic I am so happy I found your channel 😃
Hi Rachel! I’ve been looking for a natural alternative for a very long time so I was so happy to see that you did a video on this. Looking a little bit more into this brand the reviews are not that great… Does this brand really kill and repel fleas and ticks on your dogs?
Just pressed the subscribe button. Great content. Please continue with great information.
Love your approach. Have you done a video regarding vaccinations for puppy/dog?
I love the kin kind products . I use the flea and tick prevention spray it’s lavender scented
You can only stop treatments in winter if you live somewhere where it is below freezing consistently
Great info, thank you
I finally got my parents to want a dog and now I’m watching u for advice!😋!
Same 🌝
Dr Andrew has a tremendous one. DIY Flea Shampoo it really works
Do you have an updated version of this video? Any recommendations for yard treatment?
I getting a puppy soon so I am watching you I have been for a long time and you are so much help and I am so prepaid for a puppy thank you so much.I love you so much
Just don't use HARTZ
It caused chemical burns on my puppy
Don't use anything from them
They don't help when their product cause harm
I live in the country, and during the summer, fleas are relentless! I have an elderly dog with kidney disease, so she gets a monthly topical that takes care of fleas, heart worms, and all the other worms. My Boston Terrier pup gets Simparica Trio. I hate the thought of chemicals on them or in them, but I gotta admit the treatments are highly effective. When I was trying natural and holistic methods, my dogs were in misery being ambushed by fleas. I’m scared to take them off of something that is working so well.
Thank you for the great non-toxic options. I tried the amber. I thought it was useless. As for the diatomaceous earth...I will apply it directly on my dogs skin if I see some fleas nesting on her. Sheltie's have a lot of fur that gives them ample hiding spaces.
I covered my cat in it daily for 2 weeks, it’s pretty messy but my cat liked it. Unfortunately it didn’t work.
@@rebecca235 Diatomaceous earth food grade, applied for too long, can dry out a pet's skin. The dust cloud can also enter your airways, as well as your pet's, and irritate your lungs.
the doodle dog was scratching when you were discussing walking in the woods!
I love that you make this type of content I love that thank you I gave a question for like a video idea how many or much patties to give your dog if you choose to give raw meat patties
I think she said just one in one of her videos I might be wrong but I believe she said one twice a day🙂
very informative
This is so informative. Ive used Diatomaceous Earth for years successfully however, this year there is an epidemic of Allergies here in Australia. My dog had to get a dermatitis shot and a topical. Im glad I found your video. Thank You💚 Love the products are Cruelty free bc Im Vegan -( self defence comes into it though. When our companions suffer bc of the constant attack- we have to put a stop to it)
A tip for your yard if you have acreage, Guinea Fowl help a lot with ticks and other bugs in your yard.
Which out of these products do you recommend and will also work as a preventive for at least a couple more days!
I’ve used many flea shampoos it works but only works for that wash and that wash only! My dog goes outside the following day and guess what she has them again on her. Please I need something that would work good.
I bought that shampoo. One flew out of the tub. I thought that was it. Then I did a comb through and found out it was one out to the 15 that was on him after he dried. That shampoo didn’t too much for him
A friend of mine has 2 mini doodles. She told me the cost of their yearly check up. Over 900$! The main cost? The pill for fleas ticks and heart worms. Being a dog owner for decades I have never bought heart worm/flea/ tick pills or spent that much money at the vet. I am guilty of using the topical stuff and am now going all natural on what I use. Thanks for the info. 😊
Hi I have 2 dogs and 1 kitten, can I use similar methods for flea control?
A tip for your yard if you have acreage, Guinea Fowl help a lot with ticks and other bugs in your yard.
I appreciate.
Your videos
I’d like to know your thoughts on heart worm medication ❤️🙏🏼
These products might work in areas where fleas & ticks are rare, but in deep woods Alabama, we have so many deer that ticks are a constant problem. I keep my dogs on an oral flea/tick medication year round & have had no issues.
My friend just lost her dog yesterday. Gave her dog bravecto, started having seizures, convulsions, vomiting was hospitalized and died. Horrible
Awe I’m so sorry for your friends loss
For the collar that you use do you only put it on when going outside or do they wear all the time?
i just bought them thanks ! btw im gonna use it on my puppies is it safe for them ? they have 3 months !
Thanks so much for this video! I will be watching over and over. My childhood dog had ticks all the time and lived a long healthy life... so it didn't completely freak me out. However, decades later I had a dog of my own and (my best friend choc lab) Puddle, had such a heartbreaking quick decline - she had a little less appetite one week, but still full of energy and joy. Routine vet check and we found out her entire system was failing due to lymes disease (it was a specific kind that is the most deadly. I forgot the name of it now). About 2 weeks later she passed away at only 4 y/o 😭😭😭 I still feel so guilty... but we DID use tick collars, though it terrified me because of the risks, I also used natural sprays and SO MUCH and yet it all did NOTHING! We now have her little sister, Dory, I am terrified of her getting lymes TOO, but also scared of the risks of putting chemicals all over her (esp since they didn't help Puddle anyway 😢). So basically saying I'm desperate for whatever I can do to keep my baby alive FOREVER (lol or as close to that as possible!) you definitely highlighted some extra things in this that I haven't tried, so here's to hoping and praying our evil Long Island ticks don't end my Dory's life like they did her sister 😭
It’s all about risk over benefit. Your dog died very young because of Lyme disease and you live in a high incidence area. Do you want to risk your dog’s life, or use preventive measures that might have some side effects, but it’s proven not to kill your dog by the age of 4, or very possibly sooner. Or walk the dog only on asphalt, don’t let it step on areas with tall grass, or bushes. Ever…
Whatever you do don't use bravecto. It has caused deaths in dogs. Altho mine didn't die thank God, she was stiff and getting around like a senior dog. She was 6. It just had to run its course and she was back to her playful self. Back to riding the 4-wheeler with dad.
I live in Florida what can I use for mosquitoes and noseethem ?? Thanks love you channel
I wish I saw this video and got the products so long ago! My puppy kept getting so many ticks form going outside. We live in a rural more wooded area so it’s hard to avoid them. She then tested positive for Lyme disease . Got her on meds and luckily no symptoms and is feeling good, but will definitely be using these from now on!
Because I live in a wooded area, do you suggest doing something more specific than just spraying around the house or yard and for a hike. Should I spray them once a day instead?
Also the tics this winter have been so bad where I am in the north east USA, maybe because it hasn’t been super cold, but still worse than usual, not sure what I can do to help.

@@MyName-zd9pe Thank you! Yeah that seems like the best option for me thanks!
My Brittany now has seizures from flea chews in Australia im trying natural products
Hi ;) I love your videos:) so my baby Nala started itching a lot more and we found a flea on her and took it out. What should I do next for a natural way to get them out? I really don’t want to use frontline. Any tips?
I have a question is tylees raw dog food good for dogs.
Hey Rachel! So I'm here in Texas. Where the weather is weird as you well know since you lived in Austin. I was using wondercide but my pup ended up having tapeworms each month so I felt like I was forced to start using advantage II... I felt so guilty! I literally cried putting it on her. With that being said, I'm happy that I found this video. I am going to order kin and kind and use that all 12 months and the advantage II topical during our flea active months. Thanks for all that you do for us pet parents!
Oh have you ever used four-legger in between bath sprays? There is a lemongrass and a lavender... Since those are natural pest repellents, i was wondering if I could also have those in rotation?
Apple Cider Vinegar is great as a repellent too!
I also heard this. I was told to do a Tablespoon for every gallon of fresh water. @rachelfusaro I really need to know if this is okay and if it helps
Also lemon peel and juice boiled with water and fresh thyme then strained well and added to a spray bottle and spray your dog before going outside
What do you think about wondercide?
Hi I listen to you all the time. What do you think of furlife flea and tick dog collar ?? Thank you
What is the safest conventional medication though? Heartguard? Interceptor? Sentinel?
Thank you for this info. I am having such a hard time with fleas in FL this year especially. I really don't want to give her the standard tick and flea prevention. I had a friend with a doodle who ended up giving that dog a lifetime of seizures. My dog does have the little amber neckless that my holistic vet recommended as one part of prevention but I'm not really sure how well it works. It is pretty though and people comment on it. I've bought so many sprays - Wondercide and Scout's Honor...they are nice products for sure and if I see a flea and spray it right on it, the flea does die and it does work but just spraying it on her before we go out doesn't seem to work to keep them off. I'm going to try Kin and Kind.
so how did it go? did Kin and Kind work for you?
wow i never heard of hollistic vet, learn something new every day
Love Love and learn a lot from your incredible advice and multitude of subjects. This looks like a great product; however I checked the ingredients and although all good, Rosemary is a no go with our Standard poodle. A word of caution our std poodle is allergic to the Rosemary ingredient; I avoid all treats with Rosemary in them. She actually gets seizures!! It could be unique to this pure breed but I try to replace rosemary with other herbs like peppermint or green tea. Do you have a suggestion for a flea/tick spray without Rosemary?
Is the shampoo safe for puppies?
I will like to try diatomaceous earth food grade de- diatomaceous for my backyard but is big. Any recommendations?!
Thankful for this info. I hate using those pesticide products on my dogs. My vet pushes their use and heartworm prevention. Do you use a heartworm preventative? Also what's your opinion of Lyme vaccine?
I personally don’t give my dogs Lyme v@ccine
Hey I really need to know if kind+kin can be used on puppies and if so like what’s the min age they can use it
Where can I buy diatomaceous earth ? Never heard of it before. Thanks!
Do you recommend applying diatomaceous earth topically on your dog?
I really wish that Baltic amber necklace came in a larger size. I'm having a hard time finding one that's 17.5".
I love your videos. I never actaully had a dog until 2 days ago and I been watching your videos for years because I love your dogs and learning of what you do in your videos. Now I have a question, could you make a video on how train my dog to know its name I didn't realized that until today hahaha 😅😆... thanks again !!!
You can hold the treat to your face and call there name then when your dog looks you can reward them with a treat hope I helped this worked for my dog overtime she or he will realize what he or she’s name is hope I helped
Dr. Karen Becker says that feeding some fresh garlic in your dog's food would repel fleas , tics and bugs .
Why would she recommend that when garlic is known as being toxic to dogs?
@@AwesomeMan2696 she explains in more detail on her site, but it's basically because the garlic is toxic if taken in extremely large doses. I haven't tried it, but it sounds like they can eat it in smaller doses.
I spray my dogs with citronella oil also to help repel.
Hello! Where can I buy Amber necklace? Thanks 💕
I'd love to have that info too!!
Kennel or crate?
Do u recommend wondercide for ticks too?
What do you do to prevent heart worm?
I have heard ivermectin or black walnut helps
Do you have any suggestions on finding a good vet and what a good vet would be like? I don’t like when a lot of vets push products on you and you aren’t comfortable with them
Local reviews
Do these products work for Cats as well?
whats an effective and safe heartguard treatment? :)
I have a question we are feeding my 13 week old golden-doodle 3 times a day and sometimes she won’t eat all of her food should I be worried about it if she does not eat her food every time? Love your videos so much!💕
How long have you had her? From what I’ve researched if you just got her and she’s still getting comfortable then yes that’s normal. You also could try feeding a little less 4 times a day. It’s recommended to feed puppies younger than 6 months 4 times a day, then 3 times after 6 months and I think you can go down to 2 after a year. I don’t have a lot of experience but from the research I’ve done that’s what everyone says. Hope I helped if not I’m sorry!
thank you Jensen is better than you you helped me!
I have had her for 6 weeks
Please tell us whats GOOD and not spend so much time telling us whats bad.
Well , many people STILL do not know about just how bad them topical ones are. So just bare with us. Or, speed through !!
Sometimes it takes a while to work out for a multitude of reasons
I’m one of the ones who didn’t know!
I believe that's what she did.
Any Natural Fleas & Ticks collar
Have fleas at the moment
Doing all the cleaning and natural products etc never had fleas before I have four dogs and struggling to get rid of them
How long does it normally take
I’m in Australia
My teacher's dog died from ehrlichiosis a few months ago, and since then I have feared for my own pet's safety against fleas and ticks. I'm guilty of using some of the products that you called pesticides because I'm so scared of my baby catching them. I live in a tropical country and these pests are indeed very common in our location. I definitely would keep your tips in mind and find products that are safer and more natural.
Can you please give advice on how to prevent heartworms. My pet just started his monthly heartworm preventatives and I'm currently using a chewable tablet which is very popular, the brand's name is Heartguard just so you would know. Being in a tropical country is really a struggle because mosquitoes are also very common. I hope that you would touch upon this topic because it isn't a very common one.
PS. I love your videos they're very educational. 💕
Seresto collars are responsible for killing THOUSANDS of dogs and cats.
My Vet has my baby on Simparica Trio, I stick to it in the summer but in the winter I don't give it to her....what is your opinion on this product?
It does work.... In all honesty, I use Simparica Trio also. I do it year-round with no issues. I came here to find other alternatives but in all honesty, if something has to be added daily is it really practical? My dog travels with me and tends to stay inside.
Where is the shop link???
What's the name of the fleas an ticks shampoo you use
Please make a video for Picky eaters
I’ve heard that adding a splash of Braggs apple cider vinegar to their water bowl can also help as well as giving them brewers yeast
@@zanniezanner6217 Can you tell me what exactly it was that you used for him? :)
@@Valerie-MomofanAngel I guess I was looking more for the brand he gave his dog :) I get garlic is a good deterrent but I don’t really want to mess with it even in small doses as it’s toxic to dogs in bigger quantities. I found a product without it :)
@@Genesis2091can you tell me the product please
@@bombchellez_24kt54 Guardians Choice Pet chews! It uses apple cider vinegar instead of garlic
@@Genesis2091 thank you so much
Did anyone else dog start to have behavior changes. My Aussie was sweet and got along with other dogs. We hike a lot so my vet recommended Nexguard. She started getting more aggressive im kinda worried i ruined her now. PS we train everyday and exercise a lot it really was after she started taking the medicine
Can you review Wondercide?! It's supposed to be an organic flea and tick spray for dogs. I want to make sure it's safe for my dogs.
It’s totally safe and works but you have to apply literally every day so it’s not great
I dont see a link for the Amber Dog Collar
What about heartworm prevention????
I’ve been using frontline for a year and a half for my now 2 yo labradoodle. It stopped working and we’ve had a flea problem for a month now. The vet prescribed simparica trio. I’m reluctant to give it to him after reading all the warnings and opinions. Most reviews are good though. How do you feel about this product? Thanks.
I was told to give my two month old golden doodle k9advantix 2. I gave him one of the two doses (next is given in one month). How soon can I switch to these natural products? Should I wait until the next dose is due? I comb him daily. I just got him a few days ago and want to give him the best life! ❤😊
Where can I find a amber collar?
Question:
I've bought the kin + kind flea and tick spray. I'm reading that peppermint oil is toxic for dogs when applying and ingesting a large amounts.
What are your thoughts??
That's what I'm concerned about too.. many essential oils are toxic to dogs. Did you ever find out any more information?
@@bethany4379 unfortunately just a lot of mixed information.
I bought the Lemongrass KinKind & use it right before going into the woods lease free
I can't use cedar oil on my pets I am allergic to cedar sadly and it is in most natural flea/tick shampoos is there anything good without cedar oil?
Why I can not see the stuff you use in the video. It is not in your site.
I couldn't find any of the featured products on the link provided
I have literally tried everything natural under the sun for my dogs with regards to fleas and the only thing that works is a butt bath every other day with Castile soap mixed with citronella essential oil. We've never noticed dry skin or loss of hair with frequent baths, and again I only do their butts, it takes about 5 minutes or less. Occasionally we sprinkle DE or all natural flea spray, the summers are the hardest.
What do you think of Wondercide? Be helpful if you named the item when you talk about it instead of just “this”. Very helpful video. ALSO: how often do you spray the inside of your home?
I tried it for my puppy, and she hated being in a cloud of that smell - the smell of the essential oils. And it seemed like I had to apply it every day for it to work. She still got fleas; we ended up giving her the chewable from the vet and that worked right away! (Just my experience.)
One of my dogs is allergic to it, so we’re not using it at all. About to mix my own concoction with some neem oil.
Where did you get the Amber collar from?
Fostering a dog that was given flea pill and two topical meds. He was matted and shaved his fur. Didnt see fleas, but he did his neck. So what else can I do.
❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰your so beautiful love your information thank alot 💪🏾💪🏾👏🏾✌🏾
I've heard that baby shampoo is good to use on dogs. does anyone know if this is true/ false?
I used that with vinegar as flea wash and use washing up liquid
