Homemade Tick Repellent for Dogs with Essential Oils

Essential Oil Flea & Tick Spray

Author: Mama Z

Ingredients

2 tablespoons of Mama Z’s Oil Base or favorite carrier oil*
1 drop of Lavender Essential Oil
1 drop of Grapefruit Essential Oil (see note below if using for cats)
1 drop of Eucalyptus Essential Oil
1 drop of Lemongrass Essential Oil
1 drop of Geranium Essential Oil
8oz glass bottle

Instructions

Mix your four essential oils into the sweet almond oil.
Add your essential oil mixture into your glass bottle.
Fill the rest of the 8oz glass bottle with water.
Shake well before each use.

Notes

* No matter what allergies you may have, there’s a carrier oil that’s right for you. You can use any, or a combination of these: Argan, Coconut, Jojoba, Sweet Almond.

This spray is perfect for dogs that don’t have fleas yet to keep them repelled on walks and outside! Active infestations might need a bit more aggressiveness though. Also, cats are sensitive to oils high in d-limonene so rather than grapefruit, I’d recommend cedarwood oil for kitties.
