Yes, there are plenty of ways... Yeast and garlic wafers are inexpensive and easy to give. They make all-natural collars now also... Lately they've even developed a leave on (like frontline,etc...) that's all natural and you can get them in any larger pet store these days... You can use diamectous earth around your house to help with infestations too. All of mans development of insecticides is no help when a lot of them give bad reactions to the animals and some humans!

Try dabbing PennyRoyal oil and Eucalyptus oil on the dog at the ears, rectum area, under the legs front and back. These oils also work well when soaked into a piece of elastic wrapped around the dogs collar. The fleas flee.
Garlic is good for an internal remedy. The garlic makes the animal "taste bad" to the fleas.
Also wash the dogs bedding throughly and bug bomb the house to get any in the house that may reinfest the dog.
Good luck

The only good natural way to get rid of fleas is to give a good bath and use a flea comb. Use oatmeal shampoo that soothes itching skin and brush up to the skin with a flea comb as often as necessary. Also, they sell inexpensive flea medicines at Discount stores in the pet section that are cheaper than Frontline (About $8) and work pretty well if you want to go the medicine route.

A healthy diet helps minimize flea infestation on a dog as well.

i'm not sure of a way on how to get rid of them nartually but I have heard that if you give your dog one clove of garlic a day with his/her food that it can repel fleas...and keep them away.

Give you dog a bath and do not let the dog outside. You will have to litterbox train it.

Take fresh rosemary and steep it like tea, let it cool and pour on dog after he's been bathed and dry.
