Natural Flea Prevention

Make Your Own Natural Flea Repellent

This European formula is a proven success and PON owners won't use commercial brands after trying this out !

Fill a quart size jar with a cup of dried calendula flower heads, leaving room for them to expand and add apple cider vinegar.

Seal and let sit for two weeks. Then drain the flowers using a cheesecloth. This is your base, which you can dilute with water.

This solution also works wonders on hot-spots and is a good general skin tonic ! Use naturally fermented apple cider vinegar with "mother" for best results. In addition, this solution may also be use to clean ears and has a nice cooling effect which will make your PON feel happy !
