Pantry Raid Grooming Article
 

In the October, 2012 issue of Cesars Way magazine is a page on grooming items from your pantry to help with fleas and to help keep your home smelling sweet. Has anyone seen this yet? One of the articles was using Listerine for fleas, making a room deodorizer using vanilla extract and vodka and cleaning up accidents using club soda and dry baking soda. Has anyone seen this yet. I thought the Listerine use was surprising.

I have not seen it but I would be very leery using Listerine because I have seen it on the toxic list for dogs if they ingest any of it and the way it burns my mouth I would be worried it would burn there skin the same way.

OK I need to get my eyes checked. When I first looked at the subject line, I swear it said PANTY RAID !! LOL

I will have to check out the article.

Haha I thought it said panty raid too! :)

I thought the same thing

Ha! I thought the same thing!

After all the comments on panty raid I had to go back to the thread and make sure I didn't type in panty raid instead of pantry raid.

This article has all kinds of common household fixes for common dog problems. One I am going to try is rubbing baby powder on my hands and rubbing it into Macy's fur. You are supposed to brush your dog after rubbing it into the fur. The article also talks about different uses for baking soda, cider vinegar and peanut butter.

I'm not sure people under age 30 even know what a panty raid is anymore do they?

Where can we find this article?

It's in the October issue of Cesars Way magazine. It's a magazine by Cesar Millan from TV's Dog Whisperer.

There is also an article on Gluten in dog food.

Me too PANTY RAID, guess we are giving up our age !:eek:

What does the baby powder do?

I thought baby powder was a breathing hazard?

Don't feel so bad. I did too lol I think I know where our minds are lmao

Ok I wear glasses and I thought i read Panty Raid as well....the October issue? I will have to check ans see which issue i just bought.

Did Somebody say Panty Raid ? Hm . . . . :eek:


Better yet did someone say Cesars Millan ? (Damn he's HOT ) :D

It's too bad this article isn't on line anywhere... might be worth the read.

I would drink the vodka.... Probably not good for a room deodorizer lol. But you could do vanilla vodka and vanilla extract, or my favorite, sugar cookie vodka!!!

However I did drop a bottle of moonshine on my kitchen floor and i am pretty certain it cleaned my floor better than any household cleaner ever has!!

I would think using straight Listerine would burn but mixing equal parts Listerine and water would work. The article said it's also good for yeasty or oily skin and it helps remove bacteria and fungus along with fleas.

Article also mentions using 2 T of cider vinegar to a quart of warm water as a final rinse and not rinsing off the solution. This is supposed to ward off allergies and ringworm. I am going to try this next bath time in a few days.

OMG this thread is so funny! I have no idea where to get that magazine, but I'd love to know what's in it.

About Listerine...when we were kids, it was one of those 'whatever ails you' things. We always used it on our hair after a shampoo...no creme rinse or conditioners...and it was lovely. It didn't burn and your hair did not smell like it after you rinsed it. But, it was squeaky clean and shiny. I know they have added colorings to it, where it was not colored when I was a kid, and I am not sure if the formula is the same today as it was then. Bit, if so, I can see it's usefulness. I am curious about the Baby Powder...especially since the thread title said "Pantry Raid" and "fleas" since my Yorkie-Poo always insisted on having baby powder put on him after his bath and blow dry, and snubbed me the one time I dared to slip in a little flea powder when I moved and he go a few fleas at the new place. It was the only time he got fleas, by the way...when we first got there...before his first bath...but he always got baby powder when he lived with me...I had just picked him up from Mom and I don't know if she baby powdered him or not before we went cross country. If there is a way to read the article online, I'd be real interested in the link. Thanks for the info, though. :D

hahahahahaha I was thinking I'd be standing in front of the person spraying the vodka air freshener

my friend started cider vinegar in her dogs diet as it helped clear up allergy hot spots
