Honey is so soothing, plus it\u2019s antiseptic, antimicrobial &amp; anti-inflammatory; great for reducing swelling &amp; preventing infection.<\/li>\n<li>Make a paste using <strong>baking soda<\/strong> &amp; a little filtered water; apply to the affected areas, leave to dry &amp; then rinse off.

The\u00a0D-limonene in lemons acts as a natural pesticide to send fleas packing. It\u2019s easy to make and so affordable.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>4 lemons, sliced<\/li>\n<li>Enough filtered water to cover the lemon slices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Method:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Simmer the water &amp; lemons for 45 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Leave the mixture to cool completely, then strain it.<\/li>\n<li>Transfer the liquid to a clean spray bottle.<\/li>\n<li>Spray the mixture onto your dog or cat\u2019s fur. CAUTION: Do NOT spray this on your pet\u2019s face as the citrus may irritate their eyes &amp; noses.<\/li>\n<li>Gently brush the spray into your pet\u2019s fur.
