Mix baking soda with water before using on pets?

No, baking soda should never be mixed with water before being used on pets. Instead, baking soda can be used in its dry form to absorb unpleasant odors on pet fur or surfaces. However, it's important to keep in mind that not all pets may react well to baking soda, and it's best to consult with a veterinarian before using any home remedies on your pet.
