Neem oil for dogs

Anyone tried neem shampoo or adding neem oil to shampoo to control fleas/ ticks?

Did it work for you?

Re: Neem oil for dogs

  • I haven't.  Our cat had fleas when we got her and combing multiple times a day (drop fleas in dish of soapy water), plus diatomaceous earth (carpet, upholstery) did the trick.  I don't think we used borax, but others have had success with it.

  • I believe some of the girls on the pets board have used neem. You might try a post over there.

  • Thanks for the tip. I saw this on The Lazy Environmentalist and thought some of you ladies might have tried it.

  • We chose not to Frontline this summer and instead used neem spray.  We had great results (no fleas/ticks) and I loved that we weren't putting chemicals on the dogs.
