I use 2 tablespoons of borax to 1 tablespoon of dawn liquid soap.

borax is a salt and you can use a dog shampoo as the surfactant.

I like to make sure to scrub and rinse well.

try 3 times a week and see results

How can I use Borax to treat Fleas in Dogs and cats? Bathing? I would do love to know as I do not like to use the horrible and very toxic over the counter Flea treatments sold in Pet shops. My cat had a major reaction to the spot on neck treatment which burnt his skin where I had applied it.. days later the patch of hair had fallen out. I have 2 American Bulldogs with active Fleas and would love to also prevent the flea eggs from hatching and stopping the cycle

Is the protocol safe using 20 mule team borax? What is the directions for adult cats, to give them in their drinking water? I can't find where I read that. Thank you for giving me hope.


Borax Dosage

Can dogs take borax? I have a small dog that has IVDD and his disc is putting pressure on a nerve. From what I can tell this is because of calcification of the lining of the disc that ruptured and is stabbing the nerve. I know borax breaks down calcium deposits. Do you have a dosage for a 14 pound dog if they can take it?
