Flea/tick treatment for 8 pound dogQ: We have a year old chihuahua and he is about 8 pounds (7.70 lbs back in 08/03). we are looking at getting frontline plus and was wondering if it would be ok to get the small dog dosage for him. we also have a 24 pound pug we want to get on frontline plus as well but know which dosage to get him. what would you recommend? thanks. :-) A: We cannot recommend using a product in a manner that contradicts the labeled instructions; therefore you would have to use the frontline topspot item #3088 on the chihuahua. for the pug, the frontline plus medium would be fine.(item 10458)

My dog sometimes eats her feces.Q: I have a 1 and a half yr old rott/shephard mix and she occasionally is caught picking up her feces and eating it. why is she doing this and what can i do to get her to stop? thank you margo A: Deter is a safe and effective easy to feed chewable tablet. it is used to stop dogs and puppies from consuming their own feces. consumption of feces (coprophagia) is a common but disturbing habit in dogs. the cause of this behavior is unknown, but this product is formulated to stop this.
Zema collar with frontline; horses?Q: You recommended using a zema tick collar in addition to use of frontline to someone previously. i have two outdoor dogs and cats, plus a horse; and we live in tick country. (lots of deer and other wild critters too.) should i try using both these products together? and what do you recommend for horses? A: I am not a horse vet so will refer you to your equine vet for that one. as for collar, one i like for dogs is preventic collar. for cats a good ovitrol plus collar is fine. i find preventic collar is best tick product on market for dogs and works for up to 3 months as long as dogs dont get it submerged in water or swim with it on whihc will inactivate it. i usually use preventic collar with advantage topical for flea/tick control, but front line is fine by itself if used once monthly on all cats and dogs

GuarenteeQ: If i buy by hw prevention from you guys - who pays for treatment if my dog still gets heartworm disease. my friend bought sentinal from you guys and novartis says that they won't pay for the treatment because you guys get your meds illegaly. so who is going to pay for this dogs treatment? do you back to product or does the manufacturer? A: We have an unconditional guarantee on every product we sell. you can see it on our website or in our catalog. we get our products from licensed distributors and not "illegally"! |because we don't buy directly from the manufacturer they don't give us their guarantee, but we give you ours.
