I also have used the borax water recipe on all our animals for about 5 years now both dogs and cats and they all are very healthy. Our lab is the only one that has the demodectic mange..He is 9 yrs old."

"Unfortunately, when pets get older their immune systems do not function as well as they used to, just like humans. When the immune system is compromised demodex mites can grow out of control. Use Davis Sulfur Benz shampoo to open your dogs pores, then do Ted's Remedy. It will work on you, too!"Posted By Wendy (Sarasota Florida ) on 06/23/2023
"Could someone let me know if it is safe to use the borax hydrogen peroxide spray on my dog for black spots and itchiness? Nothing seems to help. I have a miniature, short haired dachshund and he has little black spots starting on his chest. The doctor prescribed a CHG MOUSSE . I would appreciate the recipe for the spray please help.🙏🙏🙏"Posted By Maria (Florida) on 02/11/2026
"My dog was exposed to mold our previous house tested positive for 4 types of mold including black mold. We moved out & a month later that’s when this started for my 3 yr old 8 lbs toy poodle. He’s tiny but they’re eating him alive and he’s now pooping them and they’re alive when they pop out! I’m worried sick. The vet is NO HELP! I’ve spent thousands and have gone through 7 vets! Any advice?? And will this be safe for my little fur baby? He’s my heart!"Posted By BECKIE (OR) on 02/11/2026
"Go to pet remedies on this site and read through mange comments to find something that will help. Boric acid capsules in the bath water for one thing. Surely there will be some suggestions for the inside."Posted By Katzie (Cancun, Mexico) on 02/13/2026
"Maria, I'm sorry you're stressed but "Ted's Mange Cure" (recipe on this site) works, and I have found here at my dog shelter, that it works very quickly indeed (within 6hrs I always see positive results). Since your dog is small, I would 1/4 the recipe and give it vía sponge bath = same results!
For the ones in the feces, I would give a little Diamotaceous Earth, as on a microscopic level D.E. looks like shards of glass to parasites; no harm has ever been noted in our dogs. In fact, the use of D.E. has saved three dogs' lives over the years here from parasites (ie. they are not alive when they come out), parasites that almost killed them as they were so skinny. After consuming D.E. with the gravy on their food, they gained the weight back within weeks.
Seriously though, with Ted's Mange Cure and some D.E. (or Ivermectin, or Colloidal Silver, or Garlic, or Turpentine, etc) for parasites, "You've Got This". I also want to say that I am betting that just Ted's Mange Cure will work for your fur baby. You go, Mama.
