Clean Your Dog's Bedding

 One of the best ways to combat the flea problem naturally is to thoroughly wash all pet bedding frequently. Fleas are reported to lay up to sixty eggs per day, so the more you wash your dog's bedding area, the better. We recommend washing the dog's bedding at least once a week. When washing and drying your dog's bedding, use the hot water temperature setting on your washing machine and set the dryer to hot. It is recommended to pour borax powder in your washing machine detergent. Borax is a very effective and common natural remedy for fleas. Depending on the size of your dog and the size of his bedding, you may not be able to fit the bedding in the washing machine. If this is the case, take the bedding outside and soak it thoroughly with a garden hose and soap. Fleas will drown in the water because they are unable breath in soapy water. No matter what technique you use to clean your beloved canine's bedding, you are certain to eliminate some or most of the fleas in that particular area.
