FleasQ: I have 2 dogs who go out as well as inside. i have 3 cats that are strickly indoor. my dogs seemed to have brought fleas into the house after having been flea free for 6 years in several states. i have a 6 month old baby and am unsure how to treat all of the animals as well as the house without hurting my baby. i have only seen 3 fleas, but where there are 3, there is sure to be more. can you please tell me how to go about correcting this problem? A: You can give your pets, both dogs and cats, a product called program. this is given by mouth, once a month, instead of using a topical product.
Barf dietQ: Is the biologically available raw diet able to give my dog all the nutients that he/she needs? A: No. i suggest you consult your veterinarian for a diet that would be best for your dog.
Expiration datesQ: Does hearguard have a shelf life beyond the expiration date? after giving my dog his monthly dose of heartguard, i noticed the expiration date was 3 months ago! is he protected or should i re-medicate? A: Expiration dates are the point at which the manufacturer can no longer guarantee effectiveness of theproduct. you should not use any medication beyond it's expiration date. i would not re-medicate since there is a lingering effect if you have been giving heartgard each month. however, i would suggest you give in-date medication for the next dose.

Sores on both cat and dogQ: We have a 4 year oldyellow tabby cat (he is an inside/outside cat that does hunt) and a 6 year old bischon. they both get raised scab-like areas on their bodies. my dog has even chewed at one area so much that it is raw and bleeding. i think he may have some skin allergy, but i have already been giving him an antihistimine for this. both animals have been given shots for a skin infection in the past--what is that and could they both have the same thing? A: Tough to say. likely allergies but should have vet exam to rule out skin parasites as well as mange, etc fleas, etc.
Drug interactionQ: I haven't gotten the results i want from frontline top spot. is it safe to give my dog program pills (lufeneron) one week after treating with frontline? A: Yes, you can use program along with the frontline topspot
