Dog Days of Summer: Natural Ingredients to Help With Fleas
If your pup is unlucky enough to have bites from these yucky blood suckers, make a switch to an eco-tastic shampoo to offer relief during the Summer months. If you're not up to making your own herbal flea powder, here's a couple ingredients to look for on the label of store brands (recommended by you in the comments!):

If your meds include Permethrin, keep them far out of kitty's reach!

On the Ball: Make Eco Dog's Eco-tastic Herbal Flea Powder
When I first welcomed North into my family, I knew that I wanted him to have the healthiest lifestyle possible. Whenever I can, I make his food and treats from scratch, read all the labels on his shampoos, and try not to use too many chemicals around the house.
