Garlic and apple vinegar for dog to repel flea??

Hey BlueGhost - I read your response where you said you give your golden 5 cloves and your pom 1 clove. That concerns me. It sounds like a lot. Be careful - too much could be toxic. I know dogs react differently and your dogs sound like they can tolerate it but just be careful. I personally would decrease 1-2 cloves for the golden and 1/2 clove for the pom. Do the research - it's dosed by weight. I have a bottle of chopped garlic in my frige and add about a teaspoon to the food for our malinois and 1/4-1/2 teaspoon for our bichon. Neem is good and can be used as a supplement, made into a spray repellent and added to shampoo. My husband and I have had many different dogs for over 20 years and have never had a flea problem.

I've never heard of this home remedy for fleas..Do you feed it to them or apply it to them? I have a friend that swears by adding brewers yeast to her dogs food for preventing fleas. She sas it works as long as she does it on a regular basis.
