Tea tree oil

Does anyone know if tea tree oil helps to fight flea infestation?

Don't know if it does that but it heals cuts etc-amazingly-I have used it on myself and recently when Rorie got a cut

Amazing and very toxic to dogs if they lick it. (edited - apparently even putting it on a dog can cause problems, cats too)
Please look that up on google. "tea tree oil dogs toxicity" should work.

Ok-will also ask the vet-but she is very alive and I am quite sure she's licked it...she's also eaten mms

A few M&Ms would not be toxic to a large dog, they are milk chocolate.

You need to look up how and why chocolate is toxic to dogs if you don't think it is, same w/tea tree oil

It does nothing for fleas. I use tea tree oil for a lot of things but never anywhere the dogs or cats could get into.

NEEM is very helpful against fleas.

...well I guess you are right-luckily my dog is very alive though
