There are so many flee and tick preventions on the market, it can be hard to chose. I always try to approach health in a holistic way for both myself and Finn. So, we make a holistic mix of different ingredients you can find at a Grocery Store. We go to Whole Foods because I know they have all of the ingredients and its close to our apartment in NYC. That being said, while a holistic approach works for us, it may not work for everybody so please consult your vet before giving the below recipe for your dog. Try making the below recipe and sprinkling it on your dogs food in the morning and evening.
