A Facebook connection contacted me to get information on how to help her family dog with hot spots that were extremely painful. I suggested she try mixing baking soda with some water and making a paste and applying it to the spots. She tried it and told me that Joyclyn immediately relaxed, felt better, stopped licking the spots and by the next day they were nearly gone. Another way to use this remedy is to mix with a light oil like olive oil to keep the paste from drying out as fast as it does with water.

If you share your home with a dog it can be hard not to share your snacks, and it may seem a kindness to give your dog a share of your tasty meal.
However, just because it is good for you does not mean it is good for your pet and in fact you may kill your pet with kindness.
