Nikki is adorable! Thanks for including pictures! Yes, PetSmile is expensive, but it is one of the only toothpastes to actually be approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council. Here is a list of their approved products. http://www.vohc.org/VOHCAcceptedProductsTable_Dogs.pdf PetSmile is what I use with my dogs. (Last year they ran a 25% off sale before Christmas, so I stocked up!) Yes, it is fine to use Dawn on Nikki's feet daily, but I suspect any gentle cleaner would be fine as well. You may have to experiment to find the best shampoo for her. I have been very pleased with EarthBath products, so you might want to try their Oatmeal and Aloe shampoo for itch relief. https://earthbath.com/product/oatmeal-aloe-shampoo/ There are also prescription itch relief shampoo and conditioner products if needed that you can talk to your vet about. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your questions. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Harry. If he is eating, drinking and acting otherwise normal, then it is fine to wait until your appointment on Wednesday to bring up your concerns. You may consider bathing him twice per week with a medicated shampoo if he has been prescribed one. If not, try a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as an oatmeal or fatty acid based formula. This can physically remove some allergens and help to soothe the skin relieving the itchiness. He may have an upper respiratory infection causing the vocal change or it could be related to the allergies. I hope this information helps you!

Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. I would recommend using corrective collars like a pinch collar or gentle leader. These can help stop the pulling behavior. You may also look into the low voltage shock collars. These collars emit a small shock that is similar to being snapped by a rubber band. You can use this to correct the behavior and these collars can all be found online or at your local pet store. 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.

Hi and thank you for using Boop by Petco. I would give Harvey a bath and make sure that he does not itch or lick the area. He may need an Elizabethan collar for this. Sometimes benadryl may help dogs if they are itching.This will keep him comfortable in the meantime until you can get him into your vet. Your vet will performa full physical exam and determine if Harvey needs antibiotics (for a skin infection) or any medicated shampoo. Here is an article on benadryl that may be helpful for you: https://www.petcoach.co/pet-medication/benadryl/ Good luck!

Hello. Petco carries a number of products that might help. Zymox makes a spray & a salve that contains hydrocortisone, that can really help with the itching. On-line, you can find many more products such as shampoos & conditioners that also contain hydrocortisone. Topicals only work for short periods of time. Longer relief can be obtained with immunostimulants such as Apoquel & Cytopoint, both available from your veterinarian. Your pet may also have additional issues such as skin mites, fleas, bacterial & yeast infections in the skin, & your veterinarian can certainly help to sort some of these issues out. If the over the counter products do not seem to be controlling her symptoms, then please consider checking Chancla out with your veterinarian. Thanks for contacting Boop by Petco.
