Pass The Zyrtec
Throughout the summer, many of the dogs here have had irritating
skin flare ups that we feel we can at least partially attribute to their
heightened exposure to pollen and yeast. Spending our days in this idyllic
environment can have its drawbacks, as many of your sniffles and sneezes can
attest to, and as these guys romp through the wilds of the sanctuary, who knows
how much of it they’re bringing back on their skin. So I wanted to let you know
one thing we’re doing to help that you can join in on. We have spray bottles of
a special vinegar and water mixture in both houses. Every day, before we leave,
we’re spraying that on a towel and wiping down the dogs to control the pollen and
yeast on their skin and coat. We’re nearing the end of the pollen time of year, but it’s
certainly not over yet, so hopefully this will help the dogs be a little less
itchy in the future.
