Wesson Oil will kill ear mites in your dog or cat.
Simply add a few drops of Wesson Corn oil into their ears
Massage in and then wipe with a clean cotton ball.
Repeat for 3-4 days
The oil will soothe the itching, smother the mites, and accelerate the healing.

Oil combed through your pet's coat, with or without essential oils added, will smother fleas and other parasites, and you can use a flea comb and easily remove them. It is gentle to the skin, and non toxic as well. I find it easier than trying to give my cats water based baths.

I can imagine. We don't have cats, but my mother in law does, and Dweezel hates taking a bath.

That makes perfect sense to me. My puppy does not have ear mites now but people tell me that are miserable when they do get them. I need all the tips I can get when it comes to my puppy. Thanks so much for sharing this tip with me.

I know what you mean. Pet care is so expensive. My vet bills get higher ever time I have to take them in for something.
