1. Get ready for a bath: Fill a bathtub or a large bowl with warm water. Ensure the water is deep enough for your pet to be fully covered and comfortable.
2. Get your pet wet: Put your pet in the water and make sure their fur gets completely wet. This helps to make sure fleas can’t get to the head area.
Take a little bit of blue Dawn dish soap and create foam in your hands. Gently rub the soapy foam on your pet’s fur, making sure to cover all areas, such as the belly and legs. The soap kills and stops the fleas from moving.
4. Leave the soap on your pet’s fur for a few minutes. This allows the soap to act on the fleas.
5. Rinse well: Wash your pet’s fur completely with water to remove the soap. Make sure there is no leftover soap on your skin.
6. Applying Salt: Dry your pet with a towel after rinsing. Next, put a generous amount of table salt on your pet’s fur. Softly massage the salt onto their fur. Salt dries out and kills flea eggs.
7. Brushing and Drying: Use a flea comb or a regular pet brush to go through your pet’s fur and get rid of dead fleas and eggs. Let your pet dry naturally.
Repeat if needed: Depending on how bad the flea problem is, you might have to do the process again in a few days to make sure all fleas and eggs are gone.
