You will learn how to get rid of your pets fleas without using harmful chemicals that stay on your pet and transfer from your pet to your home.
I have had dogs ranging from Pit Bulls, German Sheppard to Terriers and you can see the fleas fall off dead down the drain. The Odor the soap leaves on the dog also helps keep the fleas from returning (only temporarily).

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Secure bathing area
  • Brush or washing glove
  • Dawn dish soap, must be original Blue dish soap
  1. Step 1

    Place the pet in shower or bathing area.

  2. Step 2

    Wet pets coat entirely. Top(back) under (belly) all legs.

  3. Step 3

    Apply dawn dish soap on your pets back (shoulder blade to tail) or the washing glove (then apply to the dogs coat)

  4. Step 4

    Work up a good lather. Avoiding the pets eyes

  5. Step 5

    Rinse and repeat Its always best to remove soap from your pet if you first wet the Top (back) and glide your hands around the pets side pushing the soap down. No FORCE is needed, Just easily glide your hands down, (personally I have only needed to wash 1 time)

Tips & Warnings
  • If you find your pet not wanting to bathe check water temp. If the water is cold or the pressure is to hard they will fight the bathing process.
  • make sure not to get soap in your pets eyes
  • If your pet has any open wounds do not use this article and take your pet to a Vet ASAP.
