| Re: Couple of ?'s about flea/tick control and nails
I am using frontline plus and have had great results with it. I use it on all of my animals now. I started off with advantage but it seemed my dog was still itchy. Once I switched all itchyness went away.
Stick with advantage, frontline, or revolution. Those are all medications that you usually have to get through your vet (although at some pet stores you can get them over the counter now). They are by far much safer than anything over-the-counter, work better, and is well worth the few extra bucks.
I trim my dog's nails once every week or two, depending on how much running/walking on the cement they have done. By keeping up on doing the nails you can keep them really short. If you let them grow out and only trim them once every month, the quick (vein) inside the nail also grows longer and in turn you cannot trim the nails as short as you would like them to. By trimming the nails more often you keep the quick short so the nails can stay short too. My rott's nails don't even touch the floor when he walks. It's nice!  |
