Palmerosa, a cousin of Rose Geranium, is also effective. I put just a drop or twoâno moreâof pure essential oil of rose geranium on each dogâs cloth collar every week, and it really. keeps the ticks away. Check with your vet before using essential oils on cats. Iâd still check the pets daily for ticks.

A variety of apple that has a creamy yellow flesh with a sweet and slightly tart flavor. The skin color is a warm red with areas of golden yellow. Jonagold apples are juicy and crisp and excellent for most cooked apple recipes or for eating as a snack.
