How To Use Avon Skin So Soft On A Dog For Flea And Tick Control

Ever since it hit the market in the early 1960s, Avon's Skin So Soft bath oil has maintained a reputation for repelling ticks, fleas and other insects without the use of harsh chemicals. In recent years, Avon added effective bug-repelling ingredients to a special line of Skin So Soft products, providing extra protection against fleas and ticks. These dog-safe products are easily added to your dog's bathwater or can be sprayed onto his coat.
