hi ..im having a hard time getting rid of the fleas on my dog..Im so worried, we tried all kinds of medications to apply on him but they seem to keep coming back, we transferred him out of his dog house, and called an exterminator but gosh they cost so much just to exterminate.. is there anyone who knows any home remedies for this..

You could try natural oils like lavender,lemongrass, peppermint and citronella. Put a few drops between their shoulder blades. Other natural repellents are lemon, cedar, eucalyptus, myrrh, neem, rosewood.
If your dog lives outside in your yard, treat your yard. If the dog goes into your house, you need to treat your house too. Go to the hardware store and ask someone in the garden department to direct you to something that would treat the area. There are outdoor sprays & inside "flea bombs" that are much less expensive than calling an exterminator.

Garlic and brewer yeast very effective but need a time to be effective,, Other is apple vinegar 1 or 2 spoon for large dog and 1 or 2 tea spoon for small dog
