Hey everyone! So I have a quick question for all the pet parents out there. So this has been on my mind for a while and I just need to know if I'm overthinking it or if others have felt this too. My pet has been licking their paws a lot after I mop and I started wondering… is it the floor cleaner? Like they're literally walking on whatever I'm putting on the floor and then licking it off. That can't be fine, right?

I already deal with so much ,the fur, the smell, muddy paws, you name it. But this one is actually stressing me out because it feels like something I could be unknowingly doing wrong. Has anyone else noticed anything off with their pet after mopping? Sneezing, paw irritation, just acting uncomfortable? And while we're at it , what are the other things about having a pet at home that genuinely bother you on a daily basis that you wish someone would just fix?

Can neem and probiotic cleaning agents such as Bacillus species pluralis exist together in one solution?

Okay so I have a bit of a specific situation and I really need someone who knows their chemistry to help me out here. I'm working on a floor cleaner(specifically for pets homes) that's neem based, neem is already a core part of what I'm doing so that's not changing. But I also want to add probiotic cleaning agents (most commonly Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megaterium, and Bacillus pumilus) to it because I want it to tackle odor and bacteria on a deeper level, not just on the surface.

Here's where I'm stuck , I know neem is antibacterial. And probiotics are literally live bacteria. So… won't the neem just kill the probiotics and make the whole thing pointless? Is there any way to actually get these two to coexist in one solution without one cancelling out the other?

If anyone has experience with formulations or even just knows this space ,is this possible? And if yes, how would you even go about it? Like what's the trick to making it stable?

Would really appreciate any input, even if it's just pointing me in the right direction!

Hi please recommend a good paw butter or cream for my dog's crusty paw. Also she might lick it by mistake, so something which won't have any affect on her gut.
