    Well. Dogs aren't supposed to eat Garlic, so using it on the outside of the dog might not be a good idea. The following link has some info on home remedies.

    My dog doesn't get them much unless we visit friends whose dogs have fleas. I rely on the store bought powder and spray. They have carpet spray for fleas and I always use that on the carpet and furniture she sits on. A combo of these has been effective for me. Since she gets them rarely, she isn't exposed regularly to the chemicals.

    INTERNAL FLEA REPELLENTS: Garlic may not be your favorite cologne and it’s not the flea’s favorite smell either. When your dog eats garlic, the smell is excreted through the dog’s skin making your dog less likely to be the flea’s next meal. In case you think you might need to give your dog a breath freshener along with the garlic, less attractive to fleas because once again the smell is excreted through the skin.
    I have been doing this for years and it does work!!!
