Hello. I do not know what might be available in Canada, but I highly recommend looking at this website for the Veterinary Oral Health Council. Click on the Accepted Products link at the top, then on accepted products for cats. It will list everything that is truly tested to provide results. Thanks for using Boop by Petco. https://www.vohc.org
Great question! The Veterinary Oral Health Council is a group of veterinary dentists that investigates and reviews products that are marketed for dental care in pets. You can find a list of the products for cats that have received their seal of approval here: http://www.vohc.org/accepted_products_cats.html
You may benefit from contacting the company directly and asking for coupons or free samples. You might consider giving your local SPCA or discount clinic a call as well. They may know more about discounted options in your area.
This is probably due to a severe allergy, although it could also be fleas or mites. First of all, in order to rule out skin parasites, you will need to treat with a high quality flea treatment (advocate or advantage) and worming treatment. Ideally you should get her to the vet to perform a skin scrape - this might reveal an infection or a mite infestation. If all of those came back negative, the next step is to treat the allergy symptomatically and try discovering the cause of the allergy. Some medications can be given in order to stop the chewing and repair the skin lesions (steroids and antibiotics). Some shampoos can be used to improve skin quality and allow normal hydration (EPI-SOOTHE shampoo). There is also a nice topical spray available, it's called Cortavance. Hopefully you will see some results after all this, if not you and your vet should consider starting on a long term allergy treatment.
If it is available, my best topical flea treatment for cats is Cheristin. It is very effective and kills fleas before they bite, which is helpful for cats with flea allergies since it is the bite they react to. Comfortis is a tablet that is also very effective, but it can cause vomiting.
