Fleas can drive a pet owner to distraction. It’s not just your pet scratching. An infestation can quickly get to the point when the fleas are hopping on you too. But apart from using toxic chemicals in sprays and foggers, what can you do to get rid of the flea problem in your home? There are various natural alternatives to poisonous pesticides, some of which are more effective than others.
This Fleabusters treatment is based on borate powder, which dehydrates the fleas and larva, killing them without any chemicals. It has to be dusted and brushed into all the floor areas of your home, which can be a bit of a laborious process, and dusty too, but once you’ve applied it, the powder will carry on working for at least a year, preventing re-infestation.
It usually takes a few days to a couple of weeks to get rid of the fleas completely, as new eggs will still be hatching out, but the wait is worth it to be flea free in the end! It’s a bit expensive, but the 3lb container will easily treat a three bedroom home completely and shouldn’t need re-application for at least a year. There are many testimonials to its effectiveness from customers, but a very few for whom it didn’t work. If you are being driven crazy by fleas, this would be the first natural solution to turn to.

Behavioral problems in pets are often caused by anxiety or stress. If your cat starts to urinate on the carpet he may be upset about a change in his routine. If your dog suffers from separation anxiety he may chew and destroy the furniture when you are out.While training is the answer to many behavioral issues, if it’s a case of anxiety causing changes in behavior, then finding a way to calm your pet may be all that is needed.
This pheromone collar mimics the pheromone produced by the mother to calm her pups or kittens.Your pet can wear the collar all the time or just when a stressful situation is anticipated. Whether it works or not depends on the animal and on the reasons for the behavior, but the collar is fairly cheap, lasts for a month and is worth a try if you think your pet just needs a little soothing to deal with the stress in his or her life!
The Good Behavior Pheromone Collar costs $10.99 from Only Natural Pet Store
It makes sense that if we need probiotics to keep our guts healthy, especially after taking antibiotics, so will our pets. Dogs that are suffering from constipation, gas or diarrhea and even allergies can improve condition dramatically on a sustained course of probiotics.
This Probiotic Miracle blend comes in a powder form and has 360 servings in the tub. It can just be sprinkled on the food daily and will usually take at least a week to start making a difference. The powder format doesn’t suit everyone, but is tasteless and mixes well with food, so will work for dogs that are finicky about chews and pills.
Probiotic Miracle costs $39.99 at Amazon.com
If your faithful friend is getting old and incontinent, these re-usable dog diapers could make all the difference. You don’t want to spend your time getting irritated with him for those dribbles and messes he can’t help. This way they are contained and you can just wash the diaper and re-use it.
It’s not just old dogs that can use these. Pet owners also use them for dogs on heat, not just to keep the mess under wraps but also to keep their females safe from unwanted male attentions!
These dog diapers come in a variety of sizes to fit most dogs. They are machine washable and dryable so a 2-pack should be enough unless you have a severely incontinent pet.

Dog Diapers cost between $21.99 and 47.99 depending on size from Only Natural Pet Store.
The smell of wet dogs isn’t most people’s favorite perfume, but chemical air fresheners are often even worse. If you are looking for a natural way of getting rid of pet odors in the home, these Fresh Wave gel crystals do seem to work. They neutralize odors rather than covering them up with another strong scent.
All you do is open up the jar and leave it open in the room and it will gradually get rid of bad smells. The jar lasts for a few weeks of constant use before it needs replacing.
Eco conscious pet owners will like the fact that the gel is biodegradable and the packaging materials are recycled. Plus the gel is completely non-toxic. The only downside is that this product isn’t cheap, but probably cheaper than washing your pooches in sweet smelling shampoo every day!
Costs $18.95 from Amazon.com
