Title: Seeking a better way to make a sulfur & calcium hydroxide dog/cat “flea dip”
Post by: Leit on December 04, 2019, 07:21:06 PM

At home on my kitchen stove I occasionally boil ordinary tap water in a pot and then add two parts sulfur powder with one part calcium hydroxide to create a dog/cat “flea dip” which can later be diluted with water and then rubbed on cats/dogs to rid them of mange, fleas, etc.

This process takes a couple/few hours and requires frequent stirring. I’m looking for a quicker and easier method. Is there some easier yet similarly inexpensive method of creating a dog/cat dip at home?
