Natural Supplements for Flea and Tick Prevention in Dogs

RawSnackSam

Hey everyone—I’m super excited to jump in here! I recently came across the idea that nutrition might play a role in keeping ticks and fleas at bay for our dogs. I read about some folks adding natural supplements like brewer’s yeast and even garlic (in small, vet-approved doses) into their pet’s diet as a complementary approach to traditional tick and flea medications. Has anyone tried tweaking their dog’s diet with these kinds of ingredients? How have you balanced dietary changes with standard tick and flea treatments? Any success stories or cautionary tales would be awesome to hear. I’m eager to dive deeper and learn what might work best for a holistic approach to pet health!

The idea of feeding our dogs to make them less delicious to fleas is honestly kind of hilarious—like a canine culinary deterrent! Truth is, while some swear by brewer’s yeast and even (gasp) garlic, the science is still a bit wobbly. If you do experiment, definatly keep your vet in the mix and don’t ditch the proven flea meds. Personally, I love the idea of my dog being too bland for a flea’s palate, but I’m not quite ready to toss the spot-on treatments just yet! Anyone actually seen fewer fleas after diet changes, or just smellier pups?
