stormfaery5 asked: I was doing research in order to make a homemade flea repellent spray for my dog, and came across a few articles about using diluted citronella oil. But I also came across articles saying to use citronella oil on your lawn to repel unwanted dogs… And I know they make anti-bark collars that spray citronella oil into a dog’s face when they bark because they don’t like it. So is it ok to use as a flea spray or will my dog just freak out because he doesn’t like the smell of it???
The point of using natural flea repellent was to avoid products like frontline. Frontline puts a chemical in the dogs blood that paralyzes the flea when they bite them… it makes the dogs blood toxic. It has been linked to cancer and organ damage over time, and can cause seizures after only one dose. This product is DEADLY to kittens. If a kitten rubs on the dog and gets a small amount on them, they can die. It says right on the instructions to wash your hands immediately if you get any on your skin. If this product is dangerous to get on my skin, why would I put it on my dog!! This is true for all spot-on treatments, and I will not subject my dog to such harsh and dangerous chemicals.
