** HEALTH/HERBAL INFO **
FLEAS ON CATS
One method of controlling fleas on cats is to plant aromatic herbs around
your walkways and entrance to your house. The oils from the herbs rub on to
the cats' fur and act as a natural flea repellent. Varieties include tansy,
sage, catmint, lavender, bee balm, chives, and thyme.
Also try rosemary to repel rabbits.
You can read more about essential oils at

MANGE
There are various forms of mange, such as Demodectic,
Cheyletiella, and Sarcoptic. This article will give you an
introduction to the problem and information on each
type.

Tea Tree Oil has been effective in conditions of mange.
After you learn more about mange, and read about Tea
Tree Oil properties, you will understand why.

** BEHAVIORAL/EMOTIONAL TIP **
DOG TRAINING TIP
Do you tell your dog to sit and when he/she doesn't do it,
do you repeat it again? Now you're training your dog that
the command to follow is having to hear it twice.
Never say it twice. Here's a good article on dog training:
