While spending my usual hours on the computer looking for a natural flea product, I found Neem Oil. I just bought several products and talked to the company today....They are safe and Neem oil is a natural insect repellent.
I bought the Outside Herbal Spray, Neem oil, and the Supercritical Extract supplements..

Hi Kobies Mom,

Thanks for doing research on this topic. I have been going back and forth on which flea and tick prevention to use.
I am with you on it cannot be healthy for our fur babies. I even question all the vaccines that they need... I think
down the road it has to have some affect on them. Just my opinion. I am going to try the Neem oil also.

Please keep us posted once you have used the product and see how it works. I would love to find a natural flea preventative that actually works! I am going to keep my fingers crossed for you and if everything goes well I will be jumping on the Neem Oil wagon as well.

Thanks for posting this information!!

Hello everyone,

Saw this topic and just wanted to add, that I've been giving my boys yeast tables for the last 4 years and not a flea in sight , I do not use any of the commercial flea and tick products.

What kind and strength of yeast tablets?

[Napi'smom]

brewers yeast, you can find them at any healthfood store, I give Napoleon one daily

I googled brewer's yeast for dogs a little bit and came across this. See link below:


Flea-Repellent Claims Disputed•Several controlled studies have been carried out to determine the efficacy of brewer's yeast in repelling fleas and have found that when compared to dogs receiving no brewer's yeast, there were no differences in the number of fleas on the dogs. At best, brewer's yeast may be somewhat effective when part of a broader regimen of flea control as described by Dr. Fox.

Precautions•Some dogs are allergic or intolerant of yeast. If your dog has frequent ear and skin infections, consult your veterinarian before supplementing with brewer's yeast. Adding more yeast to the diet can increase yeast overgrowth in the ear canals and hair follicles, exacerbating skin irritation and ear infections.

it works for my guys and no side effects have been noticed, every dog is different so you need to do whatever works best for each, mine love the pills and I, happy to be flealess for years Napoleon even rolls all ver the back yard and not a flea in sight.

One of my cats had fleas a couple of years ago and they sleep on the same bed, Napoleon and Sammy never had a flea and I used to comb them daily for a few weeks until the cat had none.
