This useful spray repels fleas, ticks & mosquitoes, as well as keeps
the coat in good condition.
2 cc - Eucalyptus globulus Oil
1 cc - Citronella Oil
1 cc - Cedarwood Oil
10 drops - Peppermint Oil
1 cc - Coconut Emulsifier (available from Time Laboratories) OR other natural emulsifier.
4 oz. Sea Dew Tangle Tamer (by Time Laboratories) OR other moisturizing spray without artificial fragrance.
Blend the essential oils and coconut emulsifier in a glass cup. Add
moisture spray. Stir well. Return to spray bottle. An injectable syringe with the needle twisted off is useful to measure the oils. If fleas or ticks are a problem, use this blend daily to mist your dog's coats. It is also very useful to place a drop of pure Eucalyptus, Cedarwood & Citronella Oil on your dog's bedding each day. Add some pure of the pure oils to your cleaner as well. When insects are not a problem, use Sea Dew Tangle Tamer without the additional essential oils to mist your dog's coat.
* Added note, Time Laboratories now offers a ready product called Aromatic-Pest Away Mist.

The best way to get a puppy is to beg for a baby brother - and they'll settle for a puppy every time.

If you routinely take the elevator with your dog, you need to be cautious of the closing doors. Dogs, especially small ones, can become seriously injured by the compressive force of the automatically closing doors. If possible, carry your pooch in your arms in and out of the elevator and, if not, be sure to hold the door open until your dog is completely in or out of the elevator.
