| Laundry Way Back When |
"Spring Fresh" "Mountain Breeze", "Lavender Fields"...You know these well. You probably have laundry detergent with just such scents now, but did you know that these may be harming your pets? One of the biggest looked over allergen for pets is laundry detergent, carpet deodorizers and dryer sheets.

One way to be sure your pet isn't suffering from unnecessary allergies, is to use dye free, fragrance free laundry detergent. You may not think that your laundry would effect your pet but think of this:
1. Does your pet sit on your lap?
2. Does your pet sit on the couch?
3. Does your pet sit on your bed?
4. Do you wash your pet's bedding or blankets?
5. Does your pet wear shirts that you wash?
These are the places that the new "Spring Time Rain Fresh Fields of Lavender" scented laundry detergent you just bought is going to effect your pet. So the next time you are at the store getting laundry supplies, try the fragrance free, dye free kind or move over to natural laundry detergents like borax, soap flakes, and even soap nuts (my personal favorite).

So often tormented pets scratching and clawing and biting their bodies are from either food/treat allergies or....laundry detergents and household cleaning agents. Back to nature is truly the best. Think of it as if you had a toddler crawling and lying on the floor. They often have direct skin contact thus, the outbreaks as seen in the above pictures. Those alternatives are terrific suggestions. I definitely want to try the soap nuts. Also, for floors a solution of apple cider vinegar and water is a great disinfectant and leaves the floors sparkling.
