One of our cats has fleas (both do obviously, but one has more than the other) and we’re trying to figure out what to do since we used Sentry Purrscriptions Plus on them, and it hasn’t been effective. We don’t want to combine medications and make th
Over the counter Hartz and Sentry products do not work. I suggest you get prescription strength flea medications. You can easily get these medications from one of our VETCO clinics inside Petco stores. Here are the ones in your area: ( https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/?zip=77081 ) Take the cats with you. It is first come, first serve and there is no exam fee so just the cost of the products. The vet there can advise you when you can give the new product based on when you applied the other product. You also need to treat your house and yard (if you have one for fleas). I suggest these products: ( https://www.allivet.com/p-1389-knockout-es-area-treatment.aspx ) ( https://www.allivet.com/p-9065-vet-kem-yard-spray-32-oz.aspx?SearchTerm=yard%20spray+Auto ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.

My cat has fleas so I went to the pet store and bought Sentry topical flea and tick medicine for her then came home and applied it as directed. I didn't notice until after I applied it that she has a small open wound so I went online to find out if i
Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Samantha. Sentry is actually a pretty good product, it's one that I recommend, and I would not worry about reviews online. That is anecdotal evidence not scientific evidence. She should be ok. I hope this helps!

My cat is 10. Has diabetes and asthma.i used sentry flea drops. Once last month and now this month.he is scratching and pulling his fur out in wads. What can I do for him. He's going crazy!
Hello, thank you for using Boop by Petco. He is probably having a reaction to the Sentry. This is not the best product and I strongly recommend you stay away from using it. This product is known to have a high rate of reactions. If you are looking for an over the counter product I would use [Advantage II](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/advantage-ii-once-a-month-cat-and-kitten-topical-flea-treatment-over-9-lbs) but honestly, when a cat has other underlying health issues it is best to consult with your vet as to what the best product would be to use for him. At this point in time, the best thing to do is to bathe him in Dawn dish soap in an attempt to remove any residue from the Sentry and then wait two weeks before applying a different product. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Hello! My 3-year-old male cat has always had a problem with separation anxiety. I taking a 3 day vacation & nervous that he will cry the entire time I'm gone, causing a headache for my roommates. It's also important to note I will be gone over the 4t
Sully is adorable! Thanks for including a picture. I wish I could give you a simple answer to your question, but every animal is different and some require a combination of products. I would say that about 50% of the animals I try it with have a good response to Rescue Remedy, so that is often my first choice for cats (especially since it can just be added to the water). I have not used the other products, but both appear to have ingredients that could be used alone or in combination with Rescue Remedy. Don't forget that natural supplements are much more variable than medications and will not sedate, so they are sometimes not enough for a very anxious cat. I also recommend combining supplements with a Feliway Diffuser ( https://www.feliway.com ) or a Comfort Zone Diffuser ( https://www.comfortzone.com/ ) in your house. This is a calming pheromone that will work for a month. You could also consider calming music specifically for cats ( http://throughadogsear.com/tace/through-a-ca

Is Sensory the calming aid stuff as good as Feliway for calming cats or is Feliway better
I presume that you're talking about Sentry Calming Collar which is also a pheromone based product. I have not had clients use that because I have not seen any studies about it. Feliway has done a wonderful job of testing their products to make sure that they work, so I would recommend using Feliway since it is a proven product. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your question. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
