<p>Fleas I regularly have to do as have 3 cats. But never in 22 years of having my own dogs I have never come across a tick ? </p>
<p>I do believe if you cover them in Vaseline then they can't breath and then just fall off. You can get from the pet shop a comb like thing which is designed to remove the tick.</p>

<p>I am liking the idea of Diatomaceous Earth for myself as well as my dogs (no...I don't have worms, fleas or any other little critters on me...well hopefully not anyway!!)</p>
<p>I have just been having a look on Diatomaceous Earth limited website Diatomx.co.uk and read the reviews for the human DiatomPure human codex grade product and am impressed.</p>

<p>There is also DiatomPure for animals but I prefer to give my dogs the finest grade of any products which are going to be taken orally or externally so I will buy the best grade and share it with them :))</p>

<p>Jennie,</p>
<p>Thanks! I will try the garlic press for Mac's food. I had cut the cloves quite small and mixed them through, but Mac would not go near that, but then he can be funny with food sometimes anyway.</p>

<p>Jennie, how much garlic should one use per meal? I put one clove in each bowl. Darwin ate everything, but Mac would not touch it!</p>

<p>Hi Geraldine</p>
<p>I would use 3 / 4 drops of each per 150ml of water....lemongrass has a very strong smell and can come out of the dropper fast (just a little warning) ...I also put one drop of each on their collars (not leather) when we go up the woods...dont forget to spray their legs (as a lot of people only spray their bodies) a lot of hoppers get on to the legs first...good luck....</p>
