Our pets are part of our families. If we’re living a more eco-friendly and natural lifestyle it only makes sense that our pets live the same way too. Here are some simple natural remedies for your pets.
#1 – Tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is a great natural antiseptic with many healing properties. Use it if your pet has a scratch or cut. It will help sterilize the area while fighting infection at the same time.
#2 – Aloe vera. Aloe has many soothing benefits and it’s good to use when your pet has irritated or itchy skin. Simply dab into the area and rub in gently.
#3 – Earl grey tea. This is a great natural remedy to get rid of fleas on your carpets or pets. Open the Earl grey tea bags and sprinkle over the carpets. Let sink in for a few hours and then vacuum. Repeat the process daily and you should see the fleas start to disappear within a day or two. You can also apply the dry tea directly onto your pet or place it on an area where your pet can roll around in it to help get rid of its fleas.
#4 – Natural Homemade Pet Soap. This is a great and easy recipe for washing your pets coat.
Ingredients:
½ cup 100% natural liquid soap (from your health food shop)
½ cup organic apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup glycerine
2 drops essential oil of your choice (optional)
1 quart of water
Spray bottle
Instructions:
Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl and pour into the spray bottle. Use for washing your pets as needed. This is also a great natural cleaning solution to use on your pets bedding as well as any pet items which need to be washed.
#5 – Bach Flower Remedy. Bach remedies can work for pets as well as humans. They are completely natural and help to harmonize your pets emotions. Bach flower remedy is particularly useful for dogs and other pets which are showing signs of aggression or hyperactivity. If you’re in doubt consult with your vet before using but in most cases it is very safe and natural to use.

I really read that part about the Earl Grey tea being used against fleas on the carpet, and even on your pet. It got me so curious that I wanted to try it out. What properties of the Earl Grey tea make it an effective flea repellent? Wait, does it work like a repellent, or does it actually kill the fleas?
