How can I take care of pet's hair. How can I increase them
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! To help the hair coat reach it's potential (you can not change genetics) feed a high quality commercial dog food (no people food), supplement with Omega 3 fish oils, brush the coat daily, deworm regularly if exposed to the outdoors and bath with a moisturizing shampoo as needed. I am not sure if Bee is losing hair, has balding areas or if you are just hoping for something different but you can always post a picture or provide details on what is going on with his coat. Have a good day!

Doctor Jessica. I meant products like paw protection and shampoos and probably toys that could be useful and refreshing for her during the summer months and protection from bugs and mosquitoes and such. Thanks for the help!
For days where it is very hot, you do want to avoid taking your dog for a walk at the hottest parts of the day (mid-day) especially on paved areas as your dog's feet can get burned. They do sell dog booties that you can put on your dog's feet to help protect them. There are many different companies that make these, one example is https://www.amazon.com/HiPaw-Breathable-Dual-Boots-Protector/dp/B01HS2M7FI/ref=sr_1_7?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1496836452&sr=1-7&keywords=dog+boots. If she has no skin/coat issues, just a gentle oatmeal shampoo is fine for bathing when needed. Most dogs do not need frequent bathing unless they are getting very dirty and bathing too often can dry their skin out. I wouldn't bathe more than every other week unless needed. You can follow this with a creme rinse. I like https://www.amazon.com/Virbac-Epi-Soothe-Shampoo-8-oz/dp/B002CZHYPA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496836697&sr=8-1&keywords=virbac+episoothe+shampoo and https://www.amazon.com/Epi-Soothe-Cream-Ri

Do you have any advice on grooming the dog at home? Our current situation is not really well and we can't afford to take her to the groomer. Sadly,we cannot afford to buy bird sand for our lovebird. I feel like I have failed them. Please help me. I
You can brush your dog at home with a dog brush or human hair brush. If you truly cannot afford to feed your bird, then you are going to have to find someone who wants to adopt it or surrender it to a shelter, as you can't allow it to starve to death.

Are the puppy shots at a pet store or feed and seed stores safe for a puppy....I was told by a vet that it wasn't but I also think they just wanted me to spend my money with them
They are likely safe, however it is difficult to say definitively. If the vaccines are not stored properly, they will be ineffective leaving your pet open to infection. When vaccines are shipped to a veterinary clinic from a supplier or manufacturer, they are shipped and stored under refrigeration properly until use. Furthermore, depending on sales, the vaccines in feed stores may be at or past their expiration date which may also affect efficacy. Lastly, it is always recommended to have your vet examine your pet prior to vaccination to ensure good health and proper administration of vaccines. A sick pet should never be vaccinated.

I got my puppy from a puppy store. She was 2 months and started vaccines at 7 weeks. My vet gave her another vaccine at 10 weeks and instructed me to give another vaccine at 13 and again at 16 weeks? Is this correct? I go to a local animal feed store
The ideal vaccination series should have 2 combination vaccines given after 12 weeks with the final vaccine between 16-20 vaccines. I would also recommend having these vaccines given by a veterinarian or at least purchased from a veterinarian. Vaccines from a feed store can be mis-handled and therefore not be active when given. This would leave Violet susceptible to contagious and possibly fatal diseases.
