| I use Witch Hazel to clean my dogs ears unless they have something going on in there - if there is any blood, even from a little scrape, then the witch hazel will sting. Dries them out keeps them clean. I also have Epi-Otic on hand from the vet - same principle, but doesn't sting like Witch Hazel...... |

Looking over the 150+ pictures that Doug took at a seminar last year, almost all of the ones that have my crates in them, you can see Neelah's tongue!
Jayda spins in her crate when over-excited...which is about 35% of her day! |

Never heard of it...easiest thing to use to protect against ticks, especially if in a tick endemic area would be Frontline, or better yet, Certifect. While Certifiect is more expensive, it kills ticks faster (6 hours) versus 12 or longer for Frontline.
I've used both on my dogs without any issues. |
