Here ae some tid-bits that I want to share with you that I've tried myself and have proven to be very useful. You know how when your pets goes outside and get their fur full of burrs how hard they are to get out!Well just put a dab of all vegetable shortening over the burr and this helps the sticker slide out of the fur easily. Also another tid-bit is if you want to keep your dogs and cats out of your flowerbeds or vegetable garden, sprinkle the garden beds with McCormick Black Pepper.
Dogs and cats have a keen sense of smell, and the scent of pepper repels them. AND to prevent cats from scratching wood furniture, by rubbing the furniture with a cloth dampened with Tabasco Pepper Sauce. The faint smell of the spicy sauce repels cats.
And the last tid-bit I have for you is If you clip your dog's toenails too short and it starts bleeding, pack cornstarch into the nail bed to clot the blood.
If you all are interested I have more tid-bits like this on my blog at PET BLOG: Tid-bits in PET PROBLEMS
Everyone is welcomed and their Pets too.
