Yes, you can put vinegar directly on the dog. In fact, it helps to repel flees!! Vinegar is a natural product, so safe, but is also slightly acidic, so keep away from the dogs eyes.

You cant wash your clothes in cold water because of the germs? In order for the water to kill the germs, it would have to be boiling temperature. So, warm water in your wash doesnt kill germs-what it does do, is help the soap to disolve better. Its the soap that is doing the cleaning-not the temperature of the water.

Just like brushing your teeth-you brush them in cold water--but, you use toothpastem which does the cleaning.
