NATURAL Homemade Insect Repellent: Place the following ingredients into a large container.
~One fat juicy lemon with a heavy rind sliced paper thin
~One Tablespoon of crushed Rosemary sprinkled over the lemon slices.
Pour 32 ounces of near-boiling water over the lemon and Rosemary. Cover with a clean cloth and let the liquid “steep” for at least 15 hours After the “steeping” time, pour the liquid through cheesecloth into a clean quart size canning jar, cover and store in the refrigerator. Transfer 4-6 ounces at a time into a spray bottle with a fine mist applicator. Spray liberally over the skin and coat. Avoid contact with the eyes. Repeat the application as frequently as required. OK for both humans and dogs.

I like to heat up 1/2 slice of meatloaf then mix in a 1/2 scoop of NuVet. I add this to 2/3 cup of dry kibble for a days feeding per dog.
