Working in the garden and growing herbs, vegetables, fruits and flowers is what I do as well as being creative around the house.
The plants I have used in the flea collars are Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare), Wormwood (Artemesia absinthum) or you could also use Mugwort, (Artemesia vulgare) and Lavender (Lavendula officinalis).

π What a sweet video, Terri, and excellent herbal advice! π₯³ππππ I love hearing about your pups. Have a wonderful day! π
Thank you. So lovely to have this. Best wishes from Western Australia.
Absolutely enchanting, two of my favourite four-legged YouTube stars! Loved the puppyhood flashbacks. xxx
Good morning to you, the pups and kitties! I love the idea of natural pest repellents for the dogs! I did have tansy in my herb garden on my farm place. I remember that smell! We don't have a huge tick or flea problem in Wyoming as it's so cold and dry. The insecticides put in manufactured flea collars and topicals are so poisonous! They can't be good for the animals. Thank you for the great video! Looking forward to seeing the greenhouse! Blessings π β€ π πΆ πΊ π
So sweet to see your pups over the years! Thanks for sharing, it made my day
I love seein your sweet pups & thank Terri for this cool natural recipe for an alternative to buying flea resisters! But what about kitties?? What herbs would be useful for felines?
I loved seeing the dogs as puppies, thanks for sharing those memories. Blessings xx
Thanks for the video, which I enjoyed, as always! How often do you change the herbs in the bandhana, or give them a new bandhana? Given the smell is qute strong, how do the dogs react? They seem totally fine in this video.If I may, it would be nice if you would make a video on the moth repellants you make for the cupboards and drawers and also something that smells nice for the clothes. . Thanks again. I love your videos!
Great way to help the dogs. I look forward each Sunday whilst I sip my tea.This might be good for their bedding pad as well π thank you Vikki in New York
β Winter, 2022! β
Thank-you for this important information on Natural remedies for animals in our care.
Jazz… when he/ she looks directly into the cameraπππ and Brock and Jazz playing together, so heartwarming. Love this idea Terri. Is it common Tansy you used… and just the leaves?
I love watching your scenes of your dogs, as well as of your cats. They always make me smile.
So sensible Teri! Nature provides for all our needs! Blessings to you, Lol and the doggies.
How Delightful Terri, You Know Jazz & Broc Are Such Wonderful Companions & Never Fail to make Me Smile. I'm An Avid Knitter with very Natural Yarns (Wool Alpaca Mohair ect) & I'm Always on Moth watch…Thank You πππ
So Beautiful β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ Thank you Terri β€οΈ
Love those doggies! This is a great idea … I have tansy and wormwood in my garden, so I need to get busy!
Awe I just love Jazz and Brock! What a great idea for a natural repellent for dogs! I lost Nora my beagle in April. I would of made this for sure, I was always looking for some kind of natural way instead of all those costly chemicals. Thank you for another great video and seeing the cute puppy pictures of Jazz. Enjoy your week Terri and Lol xoxo β€
Just curious someone once told me that tansy was toxic to cows. Is this actually true?
π π₯²
Pure joy when I see those two friends hanging out together πxxxx
Thank youβ€so cute dogs:)
Being in California there are many eucalyptus trees, would that be good to use?
Lovely dogs, and they look very happy companions! π
grinning from ear to ear-thanks
Jas and Brock are just so adorable. They are obviously so happy and living their best life. Were they rescues? β€πΆ
Your dogs are so cute but don't let my cats here me say that! Here in Wales we traditionally hang up tansy in our cottages to repel flies
This is so beautiful! π₯°
how about the cats, yours seem a bit cold and not so happy in the video:-) I love your dogs BTW. Brock is such a lovely little man, mine suffers from a intestinal problem alas, he is a stray from Spain and i adopted him years ago.
Lovely to see your two dogs getting such good care,the bandanas are a great idea.Thanks for the video,I always enjoy them so much.Happy Sundayππ₯°π
Cedar, is wonderful too never had fleas, unless someone brought a dog to my parents house, I'm going to gather some cedar trimmimgs, to have around my house this winter.
thank you for sharing. love the dogs, and also the kitties.
Hi Terri, have you any good tips for natural flea remedies for cats? I hate using the chemicals and find they dont work much anyway and I have 8 cats to treat.
Hi,
This is so wonderful. Do you have a recipe for cats? Thank you
So thoughtful and caring of you to use herbs instead of toxic chemicals. It's better for the animals and the environment. What do you use for the cats? -Cheers, Sherri
Very interesting and informative episode. I love your dogs–they always look so happy. Blessings. πΏ
Hi Terry: I'm sitting here today as our first snow is softly falling and feeling very contemplative and thankful. I love the winter as a time of rest, reflection, regrouping, reenergizing and preparing mind and body for Spring and a new year of cycles. Winter is truly a gift (as are the other seasons) that nature gives us and she's such a generous giver (not sure we deserve her gifts the way we treat her, but even more proof what a giver she is!). It so happens many of my favorite people on YouTube dropped videos today (you always drop on Sunday) but it is another thing I am grateful for. People of all different types with their varied interests on different continents who I connect with for whatever reason and who generously share their interests/passions with others over an internet video platform. In a troubled world I am just that extra grateful for the many good things out there. Wishing you a wonderful winter season this year and that you too get recharged, reenergized, rested, regrounded, etc and ready for the equally wonderful natural cycles to come in the coming year! β€ππππ²πππ«Ά. …..and yet another gift she gives us…furry companions who in turn gift to us as well. How nice!
