....I would soak the dog in a warm (not hot) bath with a few drops of lavender and tea tree essential oil, then spritz its fur paying particular attention to under its leg areas and tail area with a home made lemon spray ( recipe below)
Lemon Spritz.
Cut a lemon into quaters and soak it in a jug of boiling water over night.
Next day pour the mixture into a spray bottle .
Cheap, easy, safe and effective....
REMEMBER: you will need to completely and thoroughly clean all the surroundings ...bedding , towels carpets etc.
When you are done with that. Get some flea shampoo and get rid of them. The lemon was a great last meal, but they have no business in your house!The above could be done later to make the dog smell nice.
PLEASE be very careful of your dog's eyes!

∙ 15y agoAre you crazy? If swollening the bleach doesn't kill your dog the fumes would! You absolutely cannot bathe your dog in bleach, and I can only hope you meant this question to be some sort of bad joke.

∙ 12y agoNot a great idea. The chlorine is not good for a dog's skin, and the solution will not get to all the places fleas hide. If you don't get all of the little critters, they will soon come back. Better to find a good flea treatment and follow the manufacturer's directions.

∙ 12y agoNO. They CAN'T drink BLEACH. Just buy a flea removal dog soap and give it bath, or use a spot-on treatment. After the bath let your dog dry a little and brush its fur with a metal brush to where it doesn't hurt your dogs skin and collect the extra eggs and such. If you don't want to buy your dog flea soap then try the natural way - home remedies like : olive oil, pour some on your dogs coat in the bathtub or yard because what dog wants to sit in a bathtub and just sit there, and let it soak in, let it drown all of the fleas. Also this will give your dog a good coat afterwards because of all the great oils in the olive oil. Please consult the vet first what the best flea treatment is for your dog.
