Regarding my question about : Blood in urine I was suggested by the pet shop to try out this herbal medicine from Himalaya. Nefrotec tablets. Review seems to be very positive and helpful. What would be your thoughts?
No, I don't recommend it. I don't ever suggest owners take recommendations from people who work in pet shops. They are not vets, they have no veterinary training. Only use supplements recommended by your vet.

My 6 months old pug puppy is suffering from ticks all over his body, have tried tick shampoo, powder and spot on.. But only little improvement not competely cured. Please advise
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Charlie! I recommend the following products for ticks: Nexgard, Bravecto, Simparica or the Seresto Collar. The spot on treatments, bathing and powders do not work well anymore. Hopefully you can get one of the above products from your Vet. The Seresto collars can be found online but I have heard of counterfeit ones being sold on amazon so be careful of online sources. It is best to try to get them from your Vet. I hope this helps and I wish Charlie the best!

I was curious as to what is the best inexpensive brands for flea and tick treatments. We used to use Hartz, but I've been seeing a lot of horror stories surfacing the net about how people have been losing their pets due to something used in this bran
Most licensed flea and tick treatments are safe when used in accordance with the guidelines - most importantly the species (many cannot be used in cats), age of pet (some are not recommended even at 16weeks), weight of pet and most importantly frequency of reapplication of products used. It is vital to never mix flea products unless clearly marked on the packaging or advised by your vets office - many shampoos, sprays, spot ons and household products comtain very similar ingredients and using multiple products at the same time can rapidly lead to overdose and toxicity. The cheapest product off the shelf is often not the most economical as it may be short or poorly acting, only kill adults on your pets and not repel new infestations or may not control the rehatching of eggs laid in the environment. A good quality household insecticidal spray such as acclaim or indorex is vital to inactivate eggs and prevent hatching and reinfestation. Monthly oral tablets such as capstar or comfortis ca

My dog has been scratching alot and I just noticed she has hot spots and shedding she is 48.5 pounds do you carry anything for her comfort and healing as shampoos and salves thanks
Hello. Petco carries a number of products that might help. Zymox makes a spray & a salve that contains hydrocortisone, that can really help with the itching. On-line, you can find many more products such as shampoos & conditioners that also contain hydrocortisone. Topicals only work for short periods of time. Longer relief can be obtained with immunostimulants such as Apoquel & Cytopoint, both available from your veterinarian. Your pet may also have additional issues such as skin mites, fleas, bacterial & yeast infections in the skin, & your veterinarian can certainly help to sort some of these issues out. If the over the counter products do not seem to be controlling her symptoms, then please consider checking Chancla out with your veterinarian. Thanks for contacting Boop by Petco.
