he is getting his ears eat up by flys and their not just on his ears they like go alll around his body, is their anything i can do to help him,and if its possible could there like be anything tthats like cheap or something like vaseline i could use?
Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. I would recommend using a fly repellent collar such as ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/fly-free-zone-natural-fly-repellent-dog-collar ). For the ears, you can apply Sentry Wound Ointment, which can also be found at PetCo. If the ears do not improve, I would recommend having a veterinarian examine him so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

My 9 months old golden retriever is due for tick and fleas meds control , can I just buy it at any Petco store
You can buy those products at Petco for Beaux. I would advise to only purchase Frontline or Advantix. I would not get anything cheaper than that. Be aware that these are still your best over the counter products but fleas are developing immunity to them. In general, the oral products like Simparica and Bravecto are the best. Please post if you have any additional questions.

Is it ok to get flea and tick plus heartworm medicine from Dr. Foster and smith.com or is it best to go directly through your vet? Why or why not?
Hi and thanks for using Boop by Petco! Good question! In general it is best to purchase these medications from your veterinarian. When purchased through a veterinarian the company will most often guarantee the effectiveness. This is usually not the case with products bought online or over the counter. When sold through a veterinarian the company that manufactures the product will stand behind the product and often pay for medical treatment should the product not work for some reason. The veterinarian also knows how to properly store the product so that it does not get damaged or becomes ineffective. Finally, sometimes over the counter products or products sold online can be counterfeit or even dangerous to use. Your veterinarian also knows what particular products tend to be most effective for your location.

My dog has FLY bites what can I do ?
Poor doggie. Visit your local pet store, they sell over the counter fly repellent cream that will keep the flies away. And if there are sores on the ears apply a thin layer of Neosporin after cleaning them with a mild soap and warm water (i.e. Dove).

How can I get the Interceptor plus that I was given my dogs without having to take all 3 of them to the vet? I came from Puerto Rico and they all current in shots and everything
If you have proof that the dogs have a current negative heartworm test (current means a test within the last year) then you can get the product at any one of our VETCO vaccination clinics. If you do not have proof of a negative heartworm test, you can get the test done at the clinic and then you can buy the Interceptor (or any type of heartworm prevention).
