[net.pets] Dogs and Fleas

stanwyck@ihuxr.UUCP (Don Stanwyck) (10/15/84)

The best solution I have ever seen was one our vet put us onto when we were
living on a small farm in OR.  B1.

It seems that large quantities of B1 (vitamin) cause an odor about the mammel
(e.g. it works for people, too) that is undetectable by the human nose, but
seems to be obnoxious to small insects (e.g. fleas, mosquitos ).

We used to feed Brewer's Yeast to our dogs and cats, all of whom lived in the
great outdoors on our farm, and we never had problems with fleas or ticks.
