Has anyone tried Burts Bees dander reducing wipes and/or their dander reducing spray? I liked the reviews but when they showed up today, I read the ingredients list that show citric acid, aloe juice, Phenoxyethanol and potassium sorbate. I looked them up & freaked out. Gypsy has been doing a lot of licking and slight digging especially in her chest and urping up some hair balls that look like small mice! She gets wet food several times a day, Purina One Hairball Formula dry free feed, access to water, indoor wheatgrass and safe untreated outside grass, is brushed by both her dad and me multiple times a day using various brushes and combs (we get so much hair off we could make a lifesized cat doll) and has been eating, peeing & pooping just fine. It's difficult to get to her skin as she has a lush coat, sorta a double coat she has under fluff like a bunny but what I can see there's no irritation. Slight dandruff on her back at base of tail. She had a loss of hair at application site from her Revolution plus treatment on June 22nd. Hair is filling in very nicely but don't know what to do for flea etc... from now on. She's pouting now cause we aren't going as much as usual cause air quality has been unsafe. She refuses fish oil.

well now i have to make a ride appointment to get my rollator !
YAY! You're getting the roIIator! I'm so happy for you. It wiII change your Iife. It sure did mine!

I have a large thermos I keep in the fridge to put left over coffee in and just made a glass of iced coffee!
Do you make ice cubes with Ieft over coffee, to pour it over? They're great for keeping the coffee from diIuting!

Y'aII, I read a news story a coupIe of days ago where a woman in Texas baked a Ioaf of bread in her maiIbox, and it onIy took 45 minutes to be done! THIS IS NOT FUNNY!

The coffee ice cubes are a great idea . :thanks:
🍞 I saw a picture of the bread lady. The built in mailbox was part of the brick wall. It had a curved top and was like a brick pizza oven.🍕

Try Credelio ( monthly pill) instead of Rev-"all mine are on Revolution Plus( it is fantastic) but 1 -Doc prescribed Credelio and it's working great

That could be because citric acid is toxic to dogs and cats.
I would discontinue use immediately

I’ve done this! It was nice to have them on hand. DH is always so readable for his first big mug of coffee that he adds a few ice cubes and chugs it. :rolleyes2: The way our freezer is set up I only have a little space that works for making coffee cubes so I haven’t done it in a while.

What's on my mind is finding a quiet vacuum cleaner that won't terrify Timmy!
Gypsy was terrified of the vaccuum when she first joined us, and would hide for hours after it was shut down. I'm thinking she may have been tormented with one, vet guess she was 1 or 2 at the time and we don't know anything about her past except she has been in this neighborhood since she was a kitten. I researched quiet ones and decided on 20230719_190859.jpg 20230719_181404.jpg 20230719_190946.jpg 20230719_190924.jpg 20230719_193806.jpg 20230719_181555.jpg 20230719_181444.jpg
We had carpets at the time so that's why I got the upright corded one. All three are quiet especially the cordless two. Gypsy stays in the area most of the time and if she does leave she shows up immediately when they quit.
