Your Pets Stink


Out, damned spot:Treat spots on carpets with half a cup of white vinegar mixed with one-and-a-half cups of lukewarm water. Squeeze on spot, let stand a few minutes and blot with a damp cloth. Apply clear water and blot with a clean, dry cloth. Repeat till clean.
Paint in Fur: Water soluble paints like latex should be washed out of the fur immediately using warm, soapy water. Do NOT use turpentine or varsol, and do not allow your dog to chew it out.
Paw solutionIf your dog has to wear a bandage on a paw and keeps chewing the fabric off, spread soap on it and he'll leave it alone.
Pests - Snail cemeteryKeep snail pellets away from dogs, lizards and children by putting them in an old ice-cream container and taping the lid down. Cut two small "snail doors" in either side. The snails will shelter inside, eat the pellets - and die tidily in the container.
Pet bed odours:Eliminate odours from pets beds by liberally sprinkling with Baking Soda (Bicarbonate of Soda), wait 15 minutes (or longer for stronger odours), then vacuum up. Baking Soda is non-toxic and safe to use around pets.
Pet hair removal solution:To remove pet hair from carpet or furniture: mix 1 part fabric softener to 3 parts water in spray bottle and spray on carpets and furniture. Wait 2 or more hours, then vacuum. Hair will pick up much easier.
Pet Urine & Sour Spilled Milk Odors:Neutralize urine and sour spilled milk odors from mattresses and mattress covers by dampening the spot and sprinkling 20 Mule Team® Borax over it. Rub the 20 Mule Team® Borax into the areas and let dry. Brush or vacuum to remove the dry Borax.
Pet Urine on Carpet:First, blot up what you can with paper towels. Mix one teaspoon mild dish-washing detergent in one cup warm water, dip a clean towel in the liquid and, working from outside in, dab at stain. Do not overwet. Rinse with fresh water and blot dry. Next, add on-third cup white vinegar with two-thirds cup water and dab on stain. Rinse with water; blot until dry. Once area is totally dry (after at least 24 hours), sprinkle entire carpet with baking soda or rug deodorizer. Vacuum after a few hours.
Poop Eating:A definite solution to this problem, and in order to break the habit, is to sprinkle a teaspoon of MSG over their food. They will not touch !any droppings and it doesn't hurt the dog
Puppy chewing no morePuppies don't like the smell of oil of cloves, so dab a little onto legs of precious furniture you don't want chewed.
Rainy day cure for dog odour:Next time your dog comes in from the rain, simply wipe down the animal with Bounce or any dryer sheet, instantly making your dog smell springtime fresh.
Removing Pet Hair from Clothing:Just put the item in the dryer with a damp towel and run it for about 20 minutes. The dryer will pull the fur off .
