Remedies for Ticks on Dogs

RE: Remedies for Ticks on Dogs Post By Rachael. (Guest Post) (08/11/2008) My Shar pei is 11 months old last week I found a tick for the first time and pulled it off with tweezers. I then gave him a bath. I thought all was well. Then tonight my daughter ask what was on his neck - there were 3 more. He is not an outside dog. What do I do?

I think it was a waste of money.

Before I was pulling off 4-5 ticks a day off of each one of them. It takes a while for them to adjust to the taste but once they do then it's worth it.

I know that alcohol kills the ticks instantly when dropped in it. Please advise Editor's Note: I wouldn't advise it. A little alcohol in a spot won't hurt but pouring it on his coat may poison your dog. The skin will absorb it.

It didn't even work. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Remedies for Ticks on Dogs Post By Sway (Guest Post) (03/03/2007) Garlic is poisonous to dogs. It's very toxic and it causes serious cases of anemia. Onions as well. Ask a veterinarian. · Neem Oil: It's a natural insecticide and has antibacterial and antiseptic proprieties. It also repels mosquitoes which is the leading cause of Heart Worms. · Organic Goat's Milk Soothes skin from previous flea infestation. · Eucalyptus acts as a natural pet deodorizer. I actually do this remedy on my dogs. I have eight dogs and I'm seriously into organics. I even grow my own herbs. Peace, love, and good luck.

I poured directly onto tick (It was thick and remainded where I put it). I waited about three minutes and the two ticks there werent even bothered.

You can also get the Brewer's yeast in bulk food sections or in "Natural Food" sections at major supermarkets, and sprinkle it on. My sister says it tastes good on popcorn, but I save it for Charlie! Also, you may want to consider just keeping them out of your wooded areas. After a problem with ear mites, my dog has been leashed to stay out of thick flora, especially woods and dense shrubs. In our neighborhood, we have a small "hay field" filled with chiggers and fleas. I have not seen one on Charlie or in my house since we've contained him to areas by the road and changed his food.

A cotton ball soaked with liquid hand soap is used to remove ticks. According to reports, it only takes a minute or two of holding the ball on a tick before the tick will release and can be removed on the cotton ball. Report Spam or Abuse
