Any safety tips to prepare for Halloween?
While Halloween may be fun for us, it can be stressful for pets. Before the trick-or-treaters start ringing the doorbell, be sure that your pet is safely confined in a crate or room so that they don’t escape amidst the chaos. Keep any candy or treats out of reach of pets. Chocolate is toxic to pets, and many other treats or candies can lead to gastrointestinal upset or pancreatitis. If your pet becomes excessively anxious when the doorbell rings repeatedly, discuss solutions with your veterinarian.

I have a pure doberman pinscher and he has sensitive skin. When he gets itchy he bites until he is raw and bleeding. What is a good food for this condition?
Hello, & thank you for using Boop by Petco. You can try switching Helios to a diet made for sensitive skin. Hills Science Diet makes a good one. Just switching to a grain free dog food will not cut it. If the Sensitive Skin Diet does not help, then I like one of the salmon based limited ingredient diets. Next, make sure you are using a good flea product on a very regular basis. Frontline Gold, Bravecto, Comfortis, or Nexgard I feel are the best out there. Start Helios on a fish oil capsule, human or dog quality. I would give him about between 1000-1200 mg twice a day. You can bathe him in a very mild oatmeal shampoo, using cool water. You can bathe him twice a week if it helps. If none of these seem to help, talk to your vet about the two newest & greatest allergy medications available to dogs now - Apoquel & Cytopoint.. I hope Helios finds some good relief soon. Take care.

Hi so rolo is scared of the christmas lights he shakes and hids but now hes scared to go in living room even when lights are off he shakes and when out for walks hes now scared of car lights police lights and is refusing to come in doors as hes that
Leave the lights on so he can acclimate and see they is no danger. Don't force him to go into the room or near the lights. If and when he does, praise and reward him. Consider a pheromone product such as the Adaptil collar or DAP plug in diffuser to decrease any anxiety.

What harness is the best and most comfortable for my dog. It would also have to work with a tie out stake. The one i have she just pulls right out of it. I think it might be a little big but the next size down is to small. It is the vest kind. Maybe
I would recommend that you take Halo to a pet store, like PetCo, so you can try out different types of harnesses. There are many different styles, and the best fit will depend on many factors, including the size and shape of Halo. If you use it with a tie-out, then make sure that it can't cinch down tighter when she pulls, since that could be uncomfortable and may cause breathing issues.

My dog has severe anxiety. What is some good products I can use to help during fireworks or grooming?
Poor Hachiko! Fireworks and loud noises can be really scary for dogs. One important thing to do to when your dog acts scared is not to reassure him. We think we are comforting him when we do that, but it's actually reinforcing the behavior and telling him it's ok to be scared. I recommend getting him a thundershirt to wear when there are fireworks or loud noises. These have been reported to help dogs with anxiety. At home, you can put him in a dark quiet room by himself to self-soothe. You can also turn on the TV or music to block out the sound. Finally, you can consider get a pheromone diffuser called DAP that helps dogs with anxiety. This pheromone diffuser can help with grooming him. I hope this helps!
