My little guy started having seizures after taking an oral flea medication at 1.5 years old. He was fine before that. All vets have said it was just a coincidence, but I know in my gut it wasn't. He's now 2 years seizure free and is the happiest little boy 😊 (yes, that's him in my profile pic lol). Thank you Dr! I will try this mixture!
My sweet 10-year-old Tuxedo kitty died tragically from an over the counter Flea treatment in June 2024. It acted like rat poison! I will NOT use flea treatments unless it's natural. Dr. Jones has helped my kitties so much with life-saving advice! Can recommend him enough!!
I never had an issue with fleas until I recently moved to a small town that has a LOT of dogs that are walked daily, including mine, and apparently also has a lot of fleas. I tried SO many natural flea products, sprays, powders, topical spot-ons, collars, and even an energy field medallion, but nothing worked. In the meantime, a severe flea infestation took hold (it doesn't take long!) and my poor fur baby developed FAD (flea allergy dermatitis), losing all her fur on her legs and tail, thinning fur everywhere else, and red inflamed skin with sores. I bathed her weekly with Relief shampoo to try to mitigate the infestation and help her with the itching, but to no avail. I subscribe and watch Dr. Jones' videos faithfully and tried many of his remedies and products, like quercetin for her FAD, but I think our situation was too severe for them to have worked effectively. So unfortunately, I had no choice but to use the toxic flea products. My research indicated that Frontline was one of the safest options, but that didn't work for us. I called the vet to ask what I could use on her while waiting the necessary month for the Frontline to wear off, and she advised a collar. I bought the one she recommended, as that was the one she uses on her dogs, as do the staff in the office, so I thought I could trust it. Within a few hours after putting it on my dog, it paralyzed her back legs!! I removed it immediately and took her to the ER, and thankfully she fully recovered. I called poison control and was assured that there was no interaction between the collar and Frontline, so it was solely the toxins in the collar. So now I'm afraid to use any other toxic flea products and I don't know what I'm going to do in the spring/summer when flea season returns. I had to call in an exterminator, and I took her for a flea bath so a clean dog came home to a clean house, and so far we appear to be flea free. So besides all the suffering, and sleepless nights for both of us due to her constant itching and biting, I literally spent hundreds of dollars on ineffective flea products, both natural and toxic, and on the exterminator, the ER, the vet, and the meds. AND I still don't know what I'm going to do come the spring and summer months next year. I bought a sonic flea/tick repellent device, but I haven't tried it yet, as thankfully our flea infestation seems to be over. I'm praying it works to effectively repel fleas so we don't have to go through this again! Does anyone have any other ideas? Thank you so much in advance!! PS I'm sorry this is so lengthy. Thank you for reading it all the way through to the end!
@ I alternate between rose geranium, cedar wood, lavender and lemongrass. Never had any allergic reactions or skin issues with the dogs while using this. It kept fleas and ticks away. I did make a similar spray and added that in during flea/tick season.
I've been watching your videos since I found it you give me such interesting information about taking care of my dogs thank you. I would really appreciate a copy of your book🎉🎉
Hiiii I have a question, can this be applied the same way other topical treatments are applied, like near the the back of the neck, or does have to be sprayed on? My cat just doesn't like the idea of being sprayed. Or do you have any recommendations for a treatment that can be given like the other treatments are given?
@@thislilhomesteaderPsalms10414 I have found that if I pour a tiny bit into hands and pet or rub it into their fur (all over), it works better than spraying. My critters don't appreciate a spray either.
Hey Doc, I'm really curious about the neem oil. It sure works on my plants. But my critters are overgroomers. Ingestion wouldn't hurt them? I am Desperate for a non-toxic, effective remedy. Thanks so much! 🙏😊

I’m so glad to hear your little guy is seizure-free and doing well! Wishing you both continued good health and many more happy moments together! 😊
Oh my gosh, your dog is so cute!
Thank you! I love natural remedies. They tend to work just as good (if not better), cost less, and dont have all the negative side effects.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved cat.❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss 🙏
I powder with diatomaceous earth. Takes a few hours before you notice but I'll NEVER use flea treatment ever again.
We have four dogs and use coconut oil and OREGANO oil. The Oregano oil keeps ticks totally away!
Thanks for sharing! 😊

What about ticks? They are a horrendous problem.

I put it on my dog’s collar. On the outside it doesn’t touch the skin.
I thought lavender was bad for cats
