How to Make a Homemade Tick Remedy for Dogs

How to Make a Homemade Tick Remedy for Dogs

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup filtered or distilled water
  • 1–2 drops of dog-safe essential oil (optional – think lavender, cedarwood, or lemongrass)
  • 1 spray bottle (glass preferred, but BPA-free plastic works too)

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 cup of apple cider vinegar and 1 cup of water into your spray bottle.
  2. Add 1–2 drops of essential oil, if using. Lavender = calming + pest-repelling
  3. Cedarwood = great for fleas/ticks
  4. Lemongrass = smells fresh, ticks hate it
  5. Shake it up. That’s literally it.
