FLEAS ON DOGWe're inclined to agree with the views expressed by one website author. See Fleas: Friend or Foe? so we do not recommend a particular flea shampoo.However, if your dog is covered in fleas, you can give him/her a lukewarm bath with or without using one of the mild shampoos on our Homemade Dog Shampoo Recipes page. If you immerse your dog long enough, you can drown a lot of the fleas off, which is what we did with F.B. You may choose to follow up with an application of Advantage or Frontline, making sure your dog is dry first. To get rid of flea eggs in the home, keep your dog(s) and and other furry pets, if you have any, in a bathroom or other place with non-carpeted flooring while you do some thorough vacuuming. Repeat as often as possible till you feel flea control has been established. There is a homemade recipe that may preclude having to vacuum as often as Jo did with F.B. (click on the link then Page Down to Fleas in the home DOG WAS SKUNKEDWe wish we'd thought to look up Dr. Krebaum’s skunk recipe when Comet tangled with a skunk some years ago. (Just go down the page to where the Q&A says, "Dog skunked? Here's the cure").Actually, this recipe sounds like a fun science project to do with kids! P.S. You may want to print out or write up the recipe and put it in a handy place if there are skunks in your off leash areas. DOG ROLLED IN STINKY STUFFDoes your dog like to roll in horse, cow or dog poop or dead animals? It's thought that this is an instinctive behavior inherited from wolves to disguise themselves when hunting.Of course that's no comfort if you're the unlucky owner! Mitsu would sometimes enjoy finding a pungent pile of horse or other poop to roll in, so a bath was the first thing she'd get. |
