I got his book from the flea market, "Mary Ellen's Best of Helpful Hints", published in 1979. This is what it says about fleas on dogs:
*If you place some fresh pine needles in his doghouse or underneath his bed pad, fleas will flee;
*Or, salt the crevices of his dog house and wash him periodically with salt water, fleas will flee.
I think I'll try the salt option first.

Did you wash with salt water? I know salt worked wonders in the bathtub I wonder if bathing them in it would work?

Maybe that's why the book was at the flea market. I tried the salt thing around the dog house, it didn't work either. LOL

mmm... Our dog houses are under a pine tree. They have TONS of pine needles and also tons of fleas if we don't treat them every few weeks.
