Dog Training Full Advice

Use Lemon in Two Ways to Help Repel Mosquitoes…

• Cut a fresh lemon, (lime, orange, or grapefruit) in half and rub the cut fruit onto your dog’s fur.
• Avoid the area immediately around your dog’s eyes and do not apply to open wounds/cuts - citrus stings!
• Make sure you pay special attention to favourite/vulnerable spots like ears, nose, under the tail and tummy.
• Lemon is non-toxic to dogs so, unlike most commercially manufactured mosquito repellents – your dog will not be harmed by licking/ingesting the lemon juice!

• 6 lemons, or you can use a mix of citrus
• 1 quart of water (.95 litre)
• 1 pot
• 1 spray bottle

• Cut the lemons and/or other citrus fruit in half;
• Place the cut fruit and 1 quart of water in a pot;
• Bring to a boil and then allow too steep for two hours;
• Allow the resulting liquid to cool;
• Once cool, strain the liquid to remove any pulp;
• Pour the resulting liquid into a spray bottle;
• Spritz your dog’s fur - remember to protect your dog’s eye from the spray;
• To apply the spray to your dog’s face:
• Spray the palm of your hand with the solution;
• Rub your hands gently over your dog’s nose, around their eyes, behind the ears, around the base of the tail, under your dog’s legs, etc.
• If your dog is going to be outside for a good portion of the day - repeat the spray application every 2 to 3 hours.

Adding fresh lemon to your dog’s daily diet is simple…

Preparing the Lemon

• Freeze a whole lemon and grate a little over your dog’s food;
• Add fresh lemon juice to your dog’s water bowl – remember to change the lemon water on a daily basis.
• Add fresh-finely minced lemon to your dog’s food.

• Peel the lemon and slice it into 4 to 6 pieces;
• Remove the seeds;
• Finely chop/mince the sections of lemon - I use a food processor to do this;
• Add the finely minced lemon to your dogs’ food once a day;
• Store any remaining minced lemon in an air tight glass container (in the refrigerator) for several days.  

Adding The Lemon to The Daily Diet

• Start by using the half the recommended lowest dosage in your dogs size range - see Daily Dosage below;
• Over the space of a week to 10 days gradually increase the amount of lemon to the lowest recommended dosage for your dogs size range;
• You can then increase to the higher dosage in your dogs range if you would like to do so.

Daily Dosage (non-therapeutic)

• X-Small dogs - 1/16 to 1/4 tsp/day
