Try sprinkling some Borax around the house.  It is safe for humans, but fleas and other insects don't like it.  Also, put some apple cider vinegar in your pet's water as it is a natural repellent.  When you bath them you can use a little dawn dish soap to kill/stun the fleas.  Finally, start vacuuming more often.

Lavender oil or a B supplement from your local vet will do the trick. this will not stop fleas from wanting jump on them, but once they figure it out they leave because hey don't like it one bit.

You can use Dawn original Dish Soap, or a dog flea shampoo with Neem oil on it! But if the fleas are really bad you need to Bomb the house with a flea & tick Bomb.

The way we got rid if flees on the farm was Sevin powder.  You can get it at a hardware store like True Value.You can also use it on vegetables Sprinkle the powder on the animal. They can lick it and it never hurt them. You can sprinkle it on the carpet and then vacuum . If the house is infested and they are indoor animals you'll need to bomb the house. The flees even get into the baseboard. Good luck.After the powder and a flee bath get a collar.You shouldn't get them back. Good luck.

Take a stanless steal flee comb and take your pen on your lay near the bathroom sink. Comb pet run water under fleas. Next take garlic and run it all over animal, some add a bit of vinagar to drinking water.

Take a fabric to make a loose collar add raw garlic roll and put collar on dog this is a dertant to keep fleas away. And read my book a collector delight containing tons of tips on saving money making most products cooking for animals and cutting your food bills in half remember cooked rice brown is good to add to animal.
