[nagdu] dog expenses question

[Raven Tolliver via nagdu]

Hi,
The liquid castille soap is a natural, all-purpose soap. I have a
bottle specifically for the Golden Guy, but I have a separate bottle
for washing dishes, hands, and anything that needs washing.
Apple cider vinegar is used to remove odors, dirt, an antimicrobial,
and a natural pest repellent.
Coconut oil moisturizes the skin, eliminates itchiness, and is also a
natural pest repellent. It can be used for just about anything.
Here's a link to the coconut research center, just to
show you how versatile this oil is

Lastly, essential oils have a wide variety of uses. In grooming,
certain oils can be used as pest repellents or for calming a dog. Just
put several drops on a brush and give the dog a once over.
I use essential oils for far more than grooming, and really that is
not my primary use for them with my dog.
