Happy Summer!
Naturally, Flea Free
The warmer weather brings outdoor fun and often pests like fleas.
Those chemical flea controls are powerful things. But they are a poison.
“Wash hands thoroughly after use”, what was this doing to my dog?. I used this stuff myself for years on Baggins and we hadn’t had fleas but I did feel I needed to reevaluate. After all, I was putting toxic chemicals on my dog’s skin month after month.
There had to be a better way.
I started to wonder, what did people do to combat fleas before these chemicals were invented?
How about making your own flea collar using a bandanna and some essential oils like lavender or even common apple cider vinegar?
If you're not quite ready to throw out the chemicals completely how about weaning you and your pet from them by applying less frequently. For example, every other month instead of monthly. Every bit helps...
Baby Food for Dogs
A reader recently asked me if she should use baby food in her dog treat recipes.I don’t have many recipes on my site that include baby food but there are a couple. If you use baby food to make dog treats, please make sure you use an all-natural, organic food without a lot of extra salt and sugar. Some baby foods are loaded with salt and sugar so make sure you read the label and choose wisely!
