3.De-Sting Bug Bites
Go old-school and make a poultice — a thick paste that can ease the pain. Mix about 3 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water, and gently smear it over the spot. Let it dry. You can even leave it on overnight to work its magic.
4.De-Tangle Rover’s Coat
It’s a shaggy dog story, but not the good kind. Many dogs get matted fur, especially if their coats are long or curly. Those tangles look bad and can also pull on the skin, causing pain. To help get them out before you have to cut them out, rub a generous amount of cornstarch into your furry friend’s coat, and then brush gently from the bottom to the top of the mat with a slicker brush.
