Q: Bathing your Golden Retriever is an important component of treating CAD, since it will remove allergens that may have settled on your dog's fur. If your Golden Retriever has scratched its skin so much that it has become infected, a medicated shampoo will help treat those infected skin lesions. Medicated shampoo will contain either an antimicrobial or antifungal ingredient. Medicated shampoos often contain oatmeal or essential fatty acids to keep the skin from drying out. Purchase the medicated shampoo at your vet's office. Do not use a human shampoo to bathe your dog. Dog skin and human skin have different pH levels. Because of the pH differences, human shampoo could irritate your Golden Retriever's skin. To help your Golden Retriever feel less itchy, bathe it either once a week or every other week. Even if your Golden Retriever feels really itchy, do not bathe it too frequently (more than once a week)this could strip its skin of essential oils, causing dry skin. If your Golden Retriever still seems uncomfortably itchy with weekly or bi-weekly bathing, talk with your vet about how often you should bathe your dog. Consider rinsing or wiping down your Golden Retriever each day. This would remove the allergens in between baths. However, this may not be practical if you have a busy schedule. You could also use a topical anti-inflammatory product between baths on the itchy spots. This product, which would contain a steroid like hydrocortisone, would be available at your vet's office. If your Golden Retriever has skin lesions, wash very gently around those areas, since they may be very sensitive to the touch. When you finish bathing your Golden Retriever, apply a leave-in conditioner to the skin and coat. This conditioner will not only soothe the skin, but also serve as a barrier to keep allergens from contacting the skin. Apply the conditioner according to the product label instructions. Use a pet-safe conditioner.
A: Use a medicated, pet-specific shampoo. Bathe your Golden Retriever regularly. Apply a conditioner after the bath.

Q: Maybe your vision and your prescription haven't changed at all, but your lifestyle has. For instance, have you changed professions and are suddenly spending more time outdoors or more time in front of a computer? In short, there are many types of glasses or lenses that are specifically useful for people who spend lots of time in one particular environment. Tell your eye doctor how you spend most of your time. This will allow them to help you choose the best glasses for you, considering your lifestyle. If you're in love with your frames but worried that you might need to strengthen the lenses, don't worry! You can often simply get new lens, as opposed to a whole new pair of glasses. You'll need to visit your optometrist to specify your ideal prescription, and then mail your glasses off to a company that will measure and replace your old lenses with new ones. Many eyeglasses retailers will help you work through any issues with a new pair of glasses. For instance, you may find that you new glasses are too heavy, or that a new prescription is especially bothersome. In order to make sure you are not liable to additional expense, always ask something like, "If these end up not working out, will I be able to exchange them for another pair of glasses or lenses?" Note that there will be a short adjustment period after getting a new prescription. In fact, you may experience headaches for a short time, as you eyes and brain acclimate to the new glasses. If discomfort persists, however, don't hesitate to contact your optometrist.
A: Account for lifestyle changes when choosing new glasses. Get new lenses in your old frames. Ask about satisfaction guarantees.

Q: Don't do it. Just don't. There are hidden costs that can deter you from financial success. You're paying for the service, for the location, the effort of cooking, and the establishment's profit. You don't know what goes into it, either, so you can't control the amount of sodium, sugar, and other nutrition factors the way you can when you're cooking at home. Buying in bulk doesn't mean you have to buy a lot of it. The "bulk" aspect of it only refers to how a store presents it, not how much you need to buy. Buying only as much as you need ensures you will keep your pantry items fresh, wholesome, and less likely to wind up in the trash. Because it is whole food, you are packing your family's diet with nutrition. Take advantage of the discount you'll receive due to the lack of packaging, labeling, or advertising.

You don't need pine nuts for pesto. You can easily substitute cheaper and healthier walnuts. Pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds are economical and can dress up a salad healthier and tastier than croutons. Don't buy soda. If you don't like plain water, splash a little juice in it or throw a fresh slice of fruit in it. This will save on calories as well as money. Take inventory and plan your meals in advance. Doing so will help eliminate last minute runs to the store, where you will inevitable spend money you could have saved. It will also reduce the stress and chaos that can occur during mealtimes.
