What are some effective home remedies for fleas on dogs that include the use of apple cider vinegar?

One effective home remedy for fleas on dogs that involves apple cider vinegar is to mix equal parts of apple cider vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution onto your dog's fur, focusing on areas where fleas are most likely to hide, such as the neck, back, and tail. The acidity of the vinegar can help repel fleas and soothe your dog's skin. Be sure to avoid spraying near your dog's eyes and mouth.

What part of a dogs body do they have fleas?

You should mostly check in the most hairy places on your animal, such as the neck, back, and underside. Another great place to check is near the animals tail; fleas love to hide in areas of dense fur, so be sure to comb these areas with a flea comb, if possible. Fleas are not easily seen by the naked human eye so using a flea comb is a quick and painless way to check your dog's coat for fleas.


What if your dog has developed bumps on the inside of her back leg and her neck which bother her and she wants to bite them could this mean she has fleas?

I don't know, but if the dog has fleas, you should be able to see them, or at least the "flea dirt" they create. If you see dark colored "stuff" on the dog, wet it. If it turns dark red, it's flea dirt, and the dog has fleas. Maybe all it needs is Frontline or Top Spot, or Advantage.

Will fleas jump off a dog after flea drops are applied?

Yes. They jump off and into the carpet, etc. furniture. One way to eliminate fleas on the dog is to bathe them, neck down, then do the head. You may see the fleas going down onto the nose or into the ears. I use Eucalyptus soap, but as long as you use soap and water it will drown the fleas. Vacuum a lot, and dispose of the bag immediately to the trash. Soap works faster and more safely than pesticides with fleas. Be sure to lather up the dog or cat and don't hurry to rinse off... let the fleas absorb into the lather, then rinse. Shampooing will eliminate the live fleas, pesticide will not; it weakens them (and your dog).
