Cider vinegar: Diluted with water, cider vinegar can be used as a spray to repel fleas. However, it doesn't kill fleas, but can help keep them away.
Diatomaceous earth: This fine powder, made up of microscopic fossils, can be sprinkled on the dog's coat. It works by drying out fleas and killing them, but should be used with caution, as it can be irritating to the lungs if inhaled.
Brewer's yeast: Some dog owners use brewer's yeast as a dietary supplement. It is thought to make the dog's blood less attractive to fleas.
Herbal bath: Bathing your dog with infusions of herbs such as lavender, rosemary or mint can help repel fleas.
Regular Brushing and Cleaning: Regular maintenance, such as brushing and bathing, can help eliminate fleas mechanically.
Environmental Cleaning: Regular vacuuming and washing of your dog's bedding helps control fleas in the environment.

What's more, some natural remedies may not be suitable for all dogs, especially if they have underlying health problems or allergies.
