I am a new puppy pet parent, what tips can you give me to raise them right?
It can be easy to get caught up in the new puppy cuteness, while forgetting that your job as a new pet owner is to raise your little bundle of fluff into a well-mannered, properly socialized and trained adult dog. Good for you for being ahead of the game! The first thing to remember is to set boundaries now by only allowing your puppy to do things now that you also want them to do as an adult. For example, if you don’t want to have your dog on the couch as an adult, don’t allow them on the couch as a puppy. Teaching basic leash skills and focusing on crate training will also be important to start from the very beginning. The key to having a well-adjusted dog is to socialize them from an early age. Once finishing your puppy’s vaccine series, be sure to expose them to a variety of different people, other dogs, noises and environments. Puppy classes can be a useful arena for socialization as well as learning basic training commands. Puppies also require frequent visits to the veterinarian

Hello, 1-toothpaste:using petsmile,no complain,but pricey.Other enzymatic toothpastes like sentry petrodex,virbac cet,nutri vet are good too? Or petsmile is the best of the best? Having greenie daily too. 2-itch relief shampoo:vet suggested wash paws
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.

Doctor Jennifer. Do you think they sell K9 Advantix for small dogs in Bosnia and Herzegovina? It'd be great if they did because I want to protect the little goof of mine. Thank you once again.
I'm not sure if they do or not - in the United States, it's available at most pet stores and even some large, "general" type stores like Walmart. I would suggest calling or visiting your nearest pet store and/or any large grocery stores in your area to see if they have it :)

Hi Boop by Petco. I really need help asap ! This puppy lost his mom and is only 1 month old, a friend of mine have it to me and I bought the milk formula so it can drink from it. A major problem I have is taking care of it when I work ! I don't know
Hello and welcome to Boop by Petco. The first thing to note is that you want to not bring the kitten into your home until about 8 weeks of age, it is important for the kitten to stay with it's mom (as long as she is able to nurse well and is doing well) until that age. Getting a "Feliway" collar (one of the calming collars) and other products with this brand can help. Also, feeding them separately is a good idea as well, until they are used to one another. Having a separate area where Junior can 'escape' from the kitten, or a 'safe zone' for Junior is recommended. Three litter boxes in different areas are recommended as well, so there are no territory disputes over the litter boxes. Otherwise, you will have to see how they do with one another, and will have to adapt based on what you are seeing occurring. Best of luck with Junior and your new kitten!

How much is it to get a cat at Petco ! And what should I do if I have to leave my cat at home will it mess the house up??And what’s the basic things to get for your cat ? What’s a cheap cat and a easy going cat for kids
Hello. The cats & kittens offered at Petco are actually managed by individual rescue groups. Prices will differ from rescue to rescue. All cats can do well if they are played with & fussed over once you get home. Can they get into trouble & sometimes make a mess? Absolutely. If you do not want hair & dander & kitty litter tracked all over the house, you should not have a pet. Cats may need to have their claws trimmed ( NOT REMOVED ) & plenty of opportunities to exercise their claws, otherwise they will scratch your furniture, moldings & walls. You will need different types of scratching surfaces, plenty of toys, a water & food dish, litter box ( or 2 ), & lots of patience. All cats are individuals, so when you go looking to adopt a cat, take your family & give yourself plenty of time to spend with your potential pet, & ask lots of questions about them. Good luck & thanks for using Boop by Petco.
