Best Hacks for Pet Owners
Our pets are just like part of the family. But sometimes caring for them takes a bit more time than we have. What we need are things that will help make caring for our furry friends a bit easier. Here are some of the best hacks for pet owners.
Protecting Their Paws– When the temperatures outside are very hot or very cold, you want to be sure you protect their paws. You can do this by rubbing a layer of petroleum jelly to the paws before going outside.
Getting Rid of Bad Breath– Dogs seem to have the absolute worst breath around. An easy trick for freshening their breath is to add a tiny bit of fresh parsley to their food once per week. This will help treat their bad breath.
Prevent Stealing– To ensure that your pet will not be stolen, don’t put their name on their dog tags. This way, no one else knows their name and you can prove you are the owner if needed.
Caring for Bee Stings– If your dog has been stung by a bee, get the stinger out by using a credit card. Then, spread a baking soda paste over the area.
Slow Down Fast Eating– If your pet has a habit of eating their food too fast, just put a small tennis ball in their food dish. This will ensure that they will have to move the ball around the dish in order to get to their food.
Cheap Dog Clothes– If you like to dress your little dog up, but cringe at the prices for pet clothing, dress them in doll’s clothing like those from Cabbage Patch Kids.
Hide Pet Medication– If your pet needs to take medication but hates the task of doing so, here is a homemade recipe to hide their pill. Combine 1 tablespoon of milk with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of white flour. Then, create 12 pockets and store in freezer.
