Don’t Bathe Your Pet in Chemicals – Natural Flea Control

One of the least understood habits of our canine and feline pets is the tendency to “graze”. The ingestion of grass by cats and dogs is a major area of concern for pet owners and has raised serious questions, probably since people started keeping dogs and cats. Unfortunately, when it comes to answering specific questions about this behavior, there are dozens of conflicting opinions. The good news is that applying a little bit of “horse” sense (pardon the equine expression) will help concerned pet owners decide how to deal with this issue.

Insecticides for Pets are Full of Chemicals

As you know, there are many insecticides that you can buy at a pet store to treat fleas. Because of the growing resistance of fleas to these insecticides, manufacturers keep making the chemicals in these products stronger. This could very well poison your animal. There are many cases of even children getting poisoned after handling an animal treated with these chemicals recommended for the treatment of fleas in animals.

If these chemicals are hazardous for humans, as it clearly says on the labels, they are also harmful to your pets. Yet they are recommended by veterinarians and the health care industry. They tell you to bathe your pet in these strong chemicals which get into their blood through their skin. This is poisoning the animals! 

Garlic: it is highly wrong assumption that by giving your pet garlic in the food, you can get rid of flea. It can damage your pet digestive system but cannot damage fleas. So don’t try to use garlic in your pet foods.

Many of the medications that are prescribed by veterinarians contain harmful chemicals and ingredients. The animal health care field is not very tightly scrutinized and is therefore endangering and many times shortening the lives of our animals with medications which are not safe. They, as well as the drug companies, are making billions of dollars, so they would rather keep on doing what they have been doing.

Grooming/Bathing: you should comb your pet on regular basis and trim it’s hair. It will also reduce the risk of presence of fleas and you can easily control fleas

Quick Fact Guide – Gecko Pets

Geckos eat the following diet:

Crickets, Dog food, Meal worms, Wax worms, Pinky mice, some green foods, tropical fish flakes and orange slices. Insects however are the most abundant foods found in their natural habitat. You must supplement a the diet to insure the best optimal health. This is usually done with a vitamin powder that the food is dusted with.

Geckos when in captive will also eat meal worms and wax worms.

Wax worms should be given as a treat maybe 3 worms per week at most. Baby geckos will eat fruit flies. The species drosophila are the most popular.

Feed your gecko twice a day in the beginning months. Reduce to twice a week when they are over 7 months old.

When your gecko reaches adult size you can introduce a pinkie mouse into their diet to keep them at their healthiest.

Can a gecko change color?

Some of the gecko species can change color, like most chameleons do, to blend in with surroundings or adjusting with the temperature. You can find many different colors of geckos, some are brightly colored and display beautiful patterns across their bodies.

Are geckos easy to keep as pets?

Yes, when you take the time and get the proper information and education on how to keep gecko pets. Captive-bred geckos can be found in pet stores, at reptile shows and on the Internet. Many breeders have websites where you can learn about, select and purchase healthy leopards, which range in prices. There is a huge collector market worldwide for the rarer variations of geckos.

A final note about gecko care, when your pet lizard is big enough, it is best to sit on the floor, and let your gecko crawl around through loose fingers hand-over-hand for 10 to 15 minutes per day until accustomed to the touch. This process takes around seven days. Never, ever grab the gecko’s tail, or it might be dropped. though quite often it can regenerate in less than 45 days
