It’s flea and tick season again. If your dog or cat comes home with some hitchhikers, give this remedy from Greenpeace Canada a try:

Add 1/2 cup (125 ml) of fresh or dried rosemary to a quart/litre of boiling water. Steep 20 minutes, strain, and allow to cool to body temperature. Spray or sponge evenly onto pet and allow to air dry. Do not towel down as this will remove the residue. Make sure pets are dry before letting them outside.

Your pet will have a fresh rosemary scent and you won’t have to use any harsh chemicals.
