Natural Flea Remedies for Dogs and Cats

September 22, 20253 min read

If you're like most pet parents, the thought of chemicals, sprays, and pills makes you wince almost as much as fleas do. And if your dog or cat scratches just one more time, you might lose it. I get it—because I’ve been there.

The good news? There’s a better way. A safer, cleaner, natural way to protect your pets—inside and out.

Here are 3 natural must-haves I use every season for my own pack (and pride) of furry friends:

1. Diatomaceous Earth – A Mineral Miracle

This fine white powder is made from fossilized algae and has become one of my most trusted tools in holistic pet care. It’s deadly to parasites and is a natural flea killer in carpet, but safe for puppies, kittens, dogs, and cats—which makes it a true staple.

It works beautifully:

  • Internally: Helps gently clear intestinal worms and support a healthy digestive system.

  • Externally: Kills fleas and ticks by dehydrating them on contact.

But did you know DE does so much more than just manage pests?

Other Benefits of Diatomaceous Earth for Pets

  • Detox Support – Helps bind and eliminate toxins, bacteria, and heavy metals from the body.

  • Better Digestion – Supports firmer stools, reduced gas, and less bloating.

  • Coat & Skin Health – Rich in silica, which promotes stronger nails, shinier coats, and soothed skin.

  • 🦴 Joint Support – Silica also contributes to stronger ligaments and connective tissue.

I recommend giving DE every other day or 3 times per week especially during flea and worm season.

Safe Dosage (Always use food-grade!):

Dogs:

  • Under 10 lbs – ¼ tsp

  • 10–25 lbs – ½ tsp

  • 25–50 lbs – 1 tsp

  • 50–100 lbs – 1½ tsp

  • Over 100 lbs – 1–2 Tbsp

Cats:

  • All sizes – ¼ tsp (mixed into wet food or broth)

Tips for Success:

  • Mix into wet food or broth.

  • Ensure plenty of fresh water (DE can be drying).

  • Use for 10–30 days, then take a break or rotate as part of a seasonal routine.

2. Parasite Dust – Buck Mountain Botanicals

This handcrafted formula is my go-to for topical protection.

Made with diatomaceous earth, neem, and yarrow, it’s gentle yet effective—and yes, safe holistic remedy for puppies, kittens, dogs, and cats.

I recommend applying it once a week during warm weather if your pet spends a lot of time outdoors or has other pet friends they visit frequently. Once per month will be sufficient for pets that stay indoors most of the time.

💡 Application Tips:

  • Dust under the belly, around the tail, back, neck, and behind ears.

  • Focus on areas with moisture and blood flow: mouth, neck, and anus.

  • A little goes a long way—just enough to coat without clumping.

🌲 3. Wondercide Cedar Spray – A Natural Shield

This plant-powered spray is a go-to for flea, tick, and mosquito prevention. It's made with cedar oil and smells like a forest—no chemical fog in sight.

And best of all? It’s safe natural remedy for puppies, kittens, dogs, and cats.

💧 Bonus: Keeping mosquitoes away = lowering heartworm risk. Prevention doesn’t get more peaceful than that.

Just spritz before walks or time outdoors, and you’re good to go.

🐾 Why All 3 Work Best Together as a Natural remedy for fleas, tick, worms and mosquitoes

Think of it as a layered defense system:

  • Internal Protection (Diatomaceous Earth)

  • Topical & Skin Support (Parasite Dust)

  • Environmental Shield (Wondercide Spray)

When used as a team, these three tools create full-circle protection—without toxins, without guesswork, and without stress.

💚 Because natural care should feel simple, safe, and rooted in love.
