| Pantry raid for common dog problems I was reading recently some common household fixes for common dog problems. Have any of you tried any of these? Mix a few drops of vanilla extract with vodka in a spray bottle to create a non toxic room deodorizer. Use the same mixture on carpet stains for pet odors. Sounds like a waste of good vodka but what do I know Fill a spray bottle with one part Listerine (original formula) and one part water to help remove bacteria and fungus. Fill a spray bottle with the mixture and after bathing your dog spray the solution on the coat (avoid the face), let it soak for 5 minutes and rinse. This spray can also be used on any surface for fleas. This can also be used on fresh or old hotspots as long as they aren't infected. You can also add 1 drop of unscented baby oil to the mix and use it 2 to 4 times a day on hot sots. MIx 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to 1 quart of warm water for an after bath rinse that helps ward off allergies and ringworm. Do not rinse the solution. I'm not advocating any of these household fixes but they sound interesting.

YT 1000 Club Member | I've used the Apple cider vinegar. I actually use it as a rinse for my dogs it leaves their coats really shiny and gives Rasta's coat a bit more of a "bounce". I also use virgin coconut oil for dry skin/ worn foot pads. A half a pinky amount will also add more luster to their coat. |
