Could you use Borax to bathe dogs?

Based on my personal experience and feedback from my readers, using borax for flea control really works. The powdered form has absolutely no smell and doesn't get absorbed by the skin when touched. It kills fleas by acting as an extreme dehydrate and by making tiny cuts in their exoskeleton which results in their eventual death. It can even be used to prevent small larvae that hatch but unfortunately will not help you get rid of flea eggs. (This I got from the web. Not my comment).

I wouldn't. Too harsh. Better: 1/3 apple cider vinegar, 1/3 fruit-fragranced hand dishwashing soap, and 1/3 water. Much better than any retail dog shampoo.

Yes, absolutely. Wet the coat, apply and lather it then wait a couple of minutes before rinsing. Works beautifully for my St Bernard who has lots of pure white on her coat, including all four of her paws. Smells nice too!

Though I not a veterinarian...I a pet owner...I truly wouldn't see a problem in using it on animals as long as the normal excessive rinsing method is done. Quite honestly I have used other human health csre products on my animals...and this cleanser is far more mild.. I hope my opinion helps...

I'm sure it would do a great job...this is superb stuff for my dog....I should bath him at least 2x/week to keep his delicate skin in good condition.

I really have no idea. I do know I've never had a problem and I have used it on two different labrador retrievers for over 6 years. My dog at the word of "bath" immediately goes to "his" bathroom and jumps in the tub and waits for his bath. I use a hand held sprayer & he gets totally wet, shampooed and rinsed well. He loves his bath & I love the fragrance.

This product is absolutely the wrong thing to buy for a Great Dane. First it is not really a bath, it is more a shower stall. It also would be much too small for a dog the size of a Great Dane. What you need is a small horse trough so that the dog can be completely immersed in water to give him a proper bath, and to rinse out any shampoo that has been used.

It doesn't lather like soap humans are used to. But it does lather and provide the necessary washing a dog should get. Mix it with water and apply to a dry dog to see where the soap has gone.

yes, worked great. However, as you know, sometimes you have to just clean it with water and soap. These wipes are like the ones for babies but for dogs:)I typically use them for that and also to clean the paws each time my dog comes from outside. even, when I know its about the time for me to bath her, I would use couple of these around the whole body and it gives me an extra couple of days!!!

Hello there! No, I don't think the tank will work for that purpose.... to give your dog a bath yes, but a "pool" no.

Not advisable. Use the Barkeepers Friend and wipe with sponge. Works great.

I use to have a ton fleas, and I tried taking using 20 mule team borax soap from the grocery aisle. I left it on the rug for about 5 days, and that worked! The reason for the 5 days, is that when a flea is dying it tries to hatch its eggs. They can't breathe with the boric soap, and when the eggs start hatch they are already dead

I believe so. I would treat it as any soap you would not want in your eyes yourself of course. I use it all over my dog including face, ears, etc. Haven't had any problems.

Borax has been proven to be ineffective against bed bugs. It works well for roaches but not bed bugs. The key to DE is to put it in places BBs hide and to only give a light dusting. Too much and the bugs will walk around it as BBs have excellent vision.

This is not big enough to be a dog pool. If you wanted to use it to bathe your dogs then I would certainly agree with that. I would recommend the uses for feeding large animals, holding water for drinking and to bathe dogs. It is highly durable as my horses have dragged it all over the place and it is still holding well.

I've never used pure boric acid except in Chem class in College. I wouldn't use boric acid near little ones or pets. Applying this product is dangerous around children, pregnant people, and pets because the powder can be inhaled however once it is fully applied it's completely safe around everyone and all pets it can be used on EVERY surface even hardwood flooring and tile. It lasts a year or so depending on how many pets you have and how bad of a flea problem you have. Hope this helps you out with the advantages of this product.

According to the manufacture's website, it is safe for puppies. Link: http://www.cloudstar.com/prodcat/buddy-wash.asp

Yes, however I suggest you bathe / groom your dog to remove mature ticks before putting a new tick collar on your dog.
