Flea Begone Bandanna

1 cotton bandanna
1 small vital rose geranium essential oil
1 small vital lavender essential oil

1. Sprinkle several drops of each oil on the bandanna
2. Roll the bandanna and tie it loosely around your dog's neck
3. Launder the bandanna, retreat with oil when the scent fades

If your dog won't wear a bandanna, dab oil between it's shoulder blade where it can't be licked off.

If nothing else it will make your dog smell better. You can try to mix 2 drops oil mixture with 1 drop almond oil.
