FLEA-BEGONE
- 1/4 Cup Cottage Cheese
- U Vitamin E 1001
- 1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Tbsp Bacon Grease
Mix all the ingredients and add to food daily. Not only will it keep the fleas away, the dog will love the way it tastes.
--------------------------------------------------------------
TICK PREVENTATIVE
- 1 part powdered rosemary
- 1 part powdered rue
- 1 part powdered wormwood
Mix herbs in a shaker top jar to combine. Store in a dark, cool place. Before your animal goes into a tick-infested area, groom its coat, removing loose hair and mats. Dust the coat with this powder, working it in thoroughly with your fingers, concentrating on the neck, back, and legs, and underneath the tail and ear flaps. After the outing, remove any ticks which may have attached themselves.
DO NOT USE THIS POWDER AS CONTINUOUS PREVENTION. AVOID GETTING INTO PET'S
EYES OR NOSE.

UPSET STOMACH REMEDY (for dogs and cats)
- 1 C. distilled or spring water
- 1 tsp. slippery elm powder
- 1 T. honey (for dogs)
Place water in a small saucepan and mix in powder, stirring with a whisk to remove all lumps. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. After mixture reaches a boil, turn down to simmer and stir a few more minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat. Allow to cool.
Mix in food at mealtime. Give ½ teaspoon three or four times a day to a cat. Give 1 teaspoon to 3 tablespoons (depending on your dog's size) three or four times a day. If dog or cat will not eat, you can give it with a teaspoon, syringe, or baster.

CANNED PUMPKIN TREATS (Helps with the diahrea)
Cover cookie sheet with waxed paper, spoon out individual sized portions of canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) directly from can and freeze for 30 minutes. Peel frozen portions from waxed paper, place in plastic bag or other container and store in freezer until needed.
---------------------------------------------------------------
RINGWORM TREATMENT
Clip hair around the ringworm patch. Once a day dip a cotton swab into tincture of goldenseal and paint the entire affected area. Limit the treated area to a dime size spot in cats and small animals and up to a quarter-size spot in larger dogs. If there is more than one spot, alternate daily treatments
from one spot to the other.
Oh and one more thing... listen to your friends. Their advice could save you a lot of grief and expense!
