Skunks are often coming around your home in in search of food, so if there are skunks around, you probably have lawn grubs. Get rid of the grubs and you will probably get rid of the skunks. Paul Krebaum, a chemist, invented a new more effective formula for de-skunking a dog. Mix in an open bucket or bowl: 1 quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide ¼ cup baking soda 1 teaspoon of strong liquid soap such as dishwashing detergent. Mix the ingredients in an open bucket or bowl. The mixture will fizz. Keep your pet dry and apply and thoroughly massage the solution into the coat really saturating the areas that "got it".. Be sure to keep the mixture out of the dogs eyes, nose and mouth. If it is necessary to apply it to the dogs face, very carefully use a washcloth or a sponge. After applying the mixture to all parts of your dog , rinse your dog thoroughly with fresh water and rebathe with regular dog shampoo. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Warning - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This mixture can be explosive, as it will fizz and creates pressure if it is enclosed in a seal tight container. Never store unused portion, always discard. Be sure to only mix in an open container and do not try to store or cover it in any way. Do not get the mixture into your dog's eyes, nose or mouth. Also be aware that peroxide can bleach your pet's coat making it a lighter shade. |

| KEYS TO SUCCESSFUL FLEA CONTROL. 1.) If you see fleas on your pet, you most likely have fleas in your home. 2.) To successfully control fleas in your home, all dogs and cats in the house must be treated with their OWN dose of flea control. We recommend FRONTLINE Plus. This will kill existing fleas and break the cycle of flea production. It can take up to 3 months to bring a home flea infestation under control. For best results, apply monthly throughout the year. 3.) Treated pets can still pick up fleas. As long as you continue using Frontline Plus, any new fleas will be killed before they can reproduce. 4.) If you walk your pet outside, it may pick up fleas in areas where untreated animals (neighbors’ pets, rodents, rabbits, raccoons) have access. That’s why it’s so important to consistently apply it monthly. 5.) If your pet has access to areas under your house, remember that untreated animals such as raccoons and opossums may have spent some time there, leaving flea eggs behind. Continued use of Frontline Plus helps protect your pet no matter where your pet roams. 6.) Because Frontline Plus is waterproof, you can bathe your pet, walk your pet in the rain, and allow a refreshing dip in the pool or pond. Remember, your pet needs to be dry at the time Frontline Plus is applied and remain dry for 24 hours after the application. |
