Talk about pets...baby

Lets talk about PETS baby....

If you've ever watched Good Morning Northwest or talked to me in person, you know I am an animal nut. I love animals. Unless you count bugs... anyway I love vinegar and I love pets so lets put the two and two together!


Taking care of any kind of animal can be very expensive even if you just stick to the basics. But what pet owner does that? Pets are part of the family, so why wouldn't you want to give your special animal friend the best? The problem is, all those little extras for your pet can add up. That's why I suggest grabbing some vinegar for $1 at the dollar store and give your pet the treatment it deserves... hey they don't know how much it all costs!


Lets start out with the doggies.


Boost your dogs confidence by giving them a glamorous, shiny coat. Mix up one cup vinegar with one quart water in a spray bottle. Spray your pets fur and rub it in. This can also work on horses! NOT the best idea to use on a cat. Cats don't really like vinegar.



Give your dog the help they need and keep those floppy ears from itching! Clean your dogs ears regularly and wipe them out with a washcloth or q-tips soaked in vinegar. This should keep Fido from scratching away.


P.U.!!!!!!!! Did fluffy get skunked?!?! You're pet may have gotten sprayed by a skunk, rolled around in a dead skunk...they might have done something... the point is YOU DON'T CARE WHAT THEY DID.... THEY JUST STINK!!!! Please get rid of that foul smell! Mix a 50-50 solution of vinegar and water and wipe down the animal. I suggest an overall vinegar/water bath. Rinse your pet with water and repeat if needed. I recommend holding your breath!


Here fishy fishy fishy! Cleaning aquariums can be a tedious process. Make it easy by removing mineral deposits and water lines by wiping down the empty take with vinegar. Make sure to rinse it out well. If some marks are difficult to get out. Give the aquarium a good over night soak.

Unless you keep flies for pets, you probably don't want them around. Keep those pesky flies away from your animals by spritzing a mixture of vinegar and water around outdoors where your pets play.

Sticking with bugs, lets kill fleas! Fleas are NO fun for your animal and they are more frustrating once they start hopping on your leg and biting you. Kill those fleas without harsh chemicals in your house. Just add a LITTLE vinegar (teaspoonish) to your pet's drinking water. The fleas will chomp in and get a taste of their own medicine. HAHAH!

You love your furry friend... but you may not love the smell they leave behind... say on your carpet! To get rid of that funk.... clean the area and cover it with baking soda. Vacuum it up the next day, then wash the spot again with some vinegar.
If cat litter stinky-ness, pour 1/2 inch of vinegar into empty box and swish it around- let is sit for about 20minutes. Rinse it out and stink should be gone!

If you want to keep your kitty away from sitting places, out of a special area, or scratching stuff.Spray area you want to protect with a vinegar water solution. CATS DO NOT like the smell of vinegar so they will stay away.


Keep fido and kitty looking good and staying out of trouble by using vinegar!
Have a great day!
