A FLEA-FREE SPRING

Does the arrival of Spring have you shaking in your boots about the arrival of "flea season?" Here on the coast in California we really don't have a "no flea" season, but as the weather warms they become more plentiful.

The truth is, if your pet is glowing with good health they will attract fewer fleas. Fewer fleas means you'll feel less of a need to apply the riskier treatments available now, and that you'll be able to manage them quite easily with safer, more natural products. A multi-level approach is the most successful, so here are some tips and product suggestions to help you and your pet lead a less scratchy life this Spring.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Spring is the season related to the Liver & Gall Bladder. This is why many animals will begin to scratch a bit more, eat a bit more grass, and in the worst cases break out in hot spots and other skin and ear inflammations. This is the liver struggling to filter the blood of a backlog of pollution like pharmaceuticals, herbicides, pesticides, and toxic cleaning agents. In order to help your pet start out the season right we suggest that you not only increase the percentage and range of fresh food they're eating, but use some herbal supplements to help their liver function better. Animals' Apawthecary Detox Blend is a safe herbal supplement that targets the waste removal organs of the body. Other supplements like Green Mush, Super Immunity and Sparkle help the body function better overall.

A flea comb is the easiest and safest answer to fleas. Just comb through, trap the the fleas on the comb, and wipe them off into a small amount of any kind of soapy water (any soap kills fleas). You can do a lot by spending less than a minute a day on this easy grooming task.

If your home is carpeted you should consider using Flea Busters Rx, or Eliminates Fleas in your carpet. Only Natural's All-In-One Flea Remedy is made of diatomaceous earth, so it can be used in more exposed areas under rugs and baseboards, under bedding and cushions, and even outdoors. Remember to wash your pet's bedding weekly to reduce flea reproduction.

If you're heading out on a trail walk or have a pet that spends a lot of time outdoors, apply one of our natural flea deterrent sprays as needed (they aren't longlasting, but they are safe).Flea Flicker, Scat, Flea The Scene,& Neem Spray are just a few of the choices.
