Which puppy activity tracker has no monthly subscription fee?
My personal (and totally independent of Boop by Petco or Petco) recommendation would be the FitBark2. It is small, durable and links to my FitBit. It is at the top of the list here too: https://www.caninejournal.com/dog-activity-monitor/

My dog sleeps with his paw on my foot. What does it mean?
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! That is adorable! I think it is natural for a dog to want to lay next to and touch a member of his pack when asleep. So I think it means he is bonded to you and wants to be near you when asleep which is when an animal is most vulnerable. Safety in numbers. But overall I think it means that he loves you! Have a great day!

My dog has red paws from allergies. How can I help him at home?
Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. I would recommend starting topical therapy in addition to what your vet previously prescribed. I would recommend starting a shampoo such as Douxo PS calm shampoo and bathe twice weekly. I would also recommend using welactin omega 3 fish oil and essential 6 spot on by dermoscent. Malacetic conditioning spray is a great option to treat localized irritation such as the paw pads and you can use this spray 2-3 times per day to manage the discomfort.

What's the best at-home treatment for my dog's paw hyperkeratosis?
Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach! I recommend using a product called BioBalm by Dermoscent. Bayer makes this product and you can find this easily online. For the long hair like pieces, I usually recommend having these trimmed (there are no nerves going to these pieces and it is painless to have these trimmed back). I would recommend having this done at your veterinarian's clinic where they can trim them there using clippers or a dremmel file. Once these have been made shorter, the BioBalm can be applied 3 times daily. It may take several months for this balm to work well but I have seen cases such as Allie's dramatically improve. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

My dog is biting his bumpy, hard back paws. What can I do at home?
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Based on your picture it looks like a rough paw pad and likely not the reason for the chewing. But if that is the only feet and pads that look like that it could be an injury. I would use an E-collar to prevent further licking and chewing. Soak his feet twice daily is an Epsom salt bath and start an antihistamine. The most common reason for feet licking and chewing is allergies. Good luck! https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/zyrtec/
