    Crucial Warning:<\/strong> Essential oils must always<\/strong> be heavily diluted, especially when applied to pets. Never use tea tree oil or citrus oils (like lemon or grapefruit) on cats, as they are toxic.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • 1 drop<\/strong> of Lavender Essential Oil<\/strong> (for soothing skin).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Application (The “3-Drop Trick”)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Mix:<\/strong> Combine the essential oils with the carrier oil in a small, sealed container.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Apply:<\/strong> Place 3 drops<\/strong> of the diluted mixture onto your fingertips.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Target Areas:<\/strong> Rub the mixture gently onto the base of the pet’s neck<\/strong> (where they cannot easily lick it) and at the base of the tail<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Frequency:<\/strong> Apply this blend every few days during flea season.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        \ud83e\uddfc Alternative: Natural Flea Spray<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        If you want a spray for bedding and carpets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
