Hi, My name is Chris, I'm new here, I work as a volunteer for an animal rescue charity in Cebu, Philippines. I rescued 2 dogs more than a week ago from a homeowner whose house got burned down in one of the slums here, she called me to collect her dogs but the poor things are riddled with fleas and their fur is all matted. Due to no budget I'm looking at ways to save money. Does anyone know of any cheap ways to remove fleas without buying materials or chemicals, maybe a home remedy or methods that can be used which are inexpensive, unfortunately 'Brownie and Fluffy' got slightly burnt in the fire also which is another reason I don't want to put any chemicals on them and Fluffy is also pregnant so I need to be extra careful. any thoughts or ideas please let me know, thanks

A bath is Dawn dishwashing soap might do it if they are fleas.

Ticks are harder to deal with. I had to ship in some "tick twisters" from England and they are pretty effective at removing ticks.

Try vinegar, it does work on my dogs. When my cousin gave me 2 puppies (his dog gave birth to 5 pups), I found out there's a lot of ticks on their skin. So I bathed them with vinegar in only just 1 time. And the ticks were gone completely. Now if I see any tick on my dogs, bathing them with vinegar is my best solution!

You can learn more how to bathe dog with vinegar here:

Hope that helps!
