Flea Prevention Dog Treats

Homemade Flea Prevention Dog Treats {2 Ingredients} - Say goodbye to toxic flea treatments!

WHAT ABOUT CATS??

http://www.healthstartsinthekitchen.com: I also give my cats some of this combination in a small bowl near their food and they lick it when they feel like it – I don’t give them a specific does at all because, well…. cats are fickle creatures. And I feel very strongly that animals instinctively know what they need! Sometimes our cats lick it up quickly, other times it will sit around for a couple weeks – regardless it’s astonishing that our indoor/outdoor cats are also FLEA FREE without using any other flea preventions or treatments!
Not to be confused with any other type of yeast, Brewers Yeast, is an inactive yeast that is a popular dietary supplement. Brewers Yeast has several uses for dogs. It is a source of B vitamins such as biotin, trace minerals such as zinc, proteins and amino acids. The amino acids and vitamins can help make a dog’s skin healthier and its coat shinier. Brewers Yeast is often recommended by holistic vets to help strengthen dogs’ immune systems.
She recommends LEWIS LABS BREWERS YEAST FLAKES PURE, 12.35 OZ

BENEFITS OF COCONUT OIL FOR DOGS

The coconut, also known as the “tree of life”, has been found to have many benefits not only for humans, but for our best friends as well. Many diseases and ailments, like yeast infections, smelly coats, hot spots, cuts that have been infected, and even cracked paws, can all be cured with just a jar of coconut oil. When all forms of diet remedies have failed, then it is time to try out this miracle natural medicine for your dog. Lauric acid, a medium chain fatty acid, can help prevent bacterial and viral infections. This is most commonly found in a mother’s milk and builds the immune system. Fortunately, dogs can benefit from the same kind of protection and health advantages it gives throughout their lives. (any high quality coconut oil is fine to give your pets – However we do exclusively give Tropical Tradition’s Pet Coconut oil because I trust their quality.)
Sh also says says it has anti-cancer properties.
The recommended dose is roughly 1 teaspoon of coconut oil daily per 10 pounds of body weight.
