Did you know a popular skin care product can also be used for flea and tick prevention? If you're looking for an economical and safe flea and tick control product for your dog, consider trying Avon Skin So Soft Original Bath Oil. The bath oil is inexpensive, and it will last a long time because you dilute it with water. Follow these easy steps to protect your dog from fleas and ticks using Avon Skin So Soft.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Avon Skin So Soft Original Bath Oil
  • Small plastic spray bottle
  • Dog brush
  1. Step 1

    Purchase a bottle of Avon Skin So Soft Original Bath Oil from your local Avon representative or at Avon.com. Also purchase a small plastic spray bottle from the store. If you already have a spray bottle at home, be sure that it is thoroughly cleaned.

  2. Step 2

    Fill the spray bottle with five parts water and one part Skin So Soft. Shake the bottle well to mix.

  3. Step 3

    Spray a small amount on your dog's coat, and gently rub against the fur so the Skin So Soft solution gets down to your dog's skin. Avoid getting any near your dog's face. Spray a small amount of the solution on your hands and rub it on your dog's legs and chest. Brush your dog after applying the Skin So Soft solution to help evenly distribute it.

  4. Step 4

    Repeat every other day during flea season and before taking your dog into a wooded area. Shake the bottle well before each use.

  5. Step 5

    When you give your dog a bath, add a small amount of the Skin So Soft Original Bath Oil to the bath water. Again, be careful not to get any near your dog's face.

Tips & Warnings
  • If your dog resists having his coat sprayed with the solution, try spraying a small amount into your hands and then rubbing it on your dog's coat.
  • If you spot any fleas on your dog while using Skin So Soft, try to spray the solution directly on the flea.
