Most of us experience it - your dogs shows affection, is trying to lick you, and his breath is just horrible!

Besides regular dental check-ups at the Vet’s office and teeth cleaning, some dog’s breath just does not smell like roses.

To protect his teeth, gums and to avoid bad breath, just sprinkle Coenzyme Q10 on his food. Small pets require about 10 mg, larger dogs 20 mg. Coenzyme Q 10 is available at health food and drug stores and not only helps gums, it’s also an anti-inflammatory and antioxident.

Usually cats neither need nor do they like a bath. Though they do a very good job to keep themselves clean, it can happen that they get overly dirty.

It can be a real challenge to give your Kitty a bath since most hate it, get really stressed out and aggressive. The gentle way to clean a cat’s overly dirty coat is to sprinkle corn starch all over (be careful to not sprinkle on the eyes and nose!), and then brush it through the fur. Corn starch traps the dirt and when your cat grooms herself, the dirt lifts right out.

Corn starch is not harmful to pets and much cheaper than some products available in pet supply stores!
