I sell essential oils, plus I make shampoos and soaps for dogs. If you would like my recipe for Rosemary dog shampoo, private message me. It stops the itch. My dog was biting his fur off due to an unexplained itch. I then developed the shampoo and it works for about two week before I have to rebathe him.

Here's another note I post on my blog:

Repellent for your pets:

For pets, add 1 cup of water to a spray bottle, followed by 2 cups of distilled white vinegar. Ticks hate the smell and taste of vinegar, and will easily be repelled by this ingredient alone. Then, add two spoonfuls of vegetable or almond oil, which both contain sulfur (another natural tick repellent).

To make a repellent that will also deter fleas, mix in a few spoonfuls of lemon juice, citrus oil, or peppermint oil, any of which will repel ticks and fleas while also creating a nicely scented repellent. Spray onto the pet's dry coat, staying away from sensitive areas including eyes, nose, mouth, and genitals. When outdoors for an extended period, spray this solution on two to three times per day.
NOTE: Never use essential oils on cats.
