Use Brewer's Yeast As a Flea Treatment for Dogs

If you own a dog, you probably understand what it's like to have to keep on top of your dog when it comes to fleas. No matter whether you're currently using, brewer's yeast is always an alternative to keep your perfect pooch happy, healthy, and flea-free!

Steps

To Use During Feeding

  1. At your dog's normal feeding time, prepare the normal amount of food for your dog.
  2. For every 5 pounds your dog weighs, add one milligram of brewer's yeast to the dog food.

To Use During Grooming

  1. Before you groom your dog as normal, prepare a bowl filled with soapy water, and also add brewer's yeast to a jar with a sprinkle cap.
  2. Comb your dog with a flea comb, and drop any fleas you find in the bowl with soapy water to drown.
  3. Continue to groom your dog as normal. After finished, sprinkle a little brewer's yeast on your dog in substitute of a flea powder.

To Give To Your Dog as a Pill

  1. Buy some over-the-counter flea repellent pills that contain brewer's yeast.
  2. Wrap the pill in food (cheese, lunch meat, meatballs, etc...) and give the pill to the dog. Watch to make sure he/she swallows.

Tips

  • If used continually, results should show within 3 weeks to a month.
  • You can also add garlic to the brewer's yeast to repel the fleas to an even further extent.
  • While grooming, if the dog licks the flea powder off it won't make him/her sick.

Warnings

  • Check with your veterinarian before using on the dog, since some dogs are allergic to brewer's yeast.
