Ear mitesQ: I just got a pug/beagle mix puppy who is 2 1/2 months old. she was diagnosed with ear mites and has received one treatment of acarexx. we also have another dog in the house, a 2 year old black lab/sharpee mix, who frequently plays with the puppy. as of now she does not show the same blackish- grainy discharge typical of ear mites. what are the chances she could catch it and can she still catch it after the ppuppy has received her first treatment? also, are ear mites communicable to humans, and if so what is the risk? thanks! A: Not communciable to humans. also not likely other dog has problem if pup was treated once with that product

Cat doesn't like advantage or programQ: My cat does not like when i use advantage on him. he shakes it off and it ends up in his mouth. he also refuses to eat the program tablets. are there any other decent products out there that i can try? A: You could try topical frontline plus or simply use flea/tick repellant pyethrin sprays or shampoos/dips during season

What dosage to buyQ: My oldest son is allergic to flea bites so we keep our indoor cats completely free of insects. we just got a new puppy fully equipted with ticks. we are planning to take her camping in a few weeks and don't know what to get. she is just over 9 pounds at 9 weeks old and going to be a big dog. around 65 pounds. what type of product should we get for her and what dosage to look for, the current weight or the weight she will become? A: Any product you use would have to be for her current weight at the time of application. we suggest using frontline plus and a tick collar if you are going into an area known to have ticks.

Frontline plusQ: We have a 130 lb rottweiler, she is pregnant. we also have a 30 lb dog. i normally keep them treated with frontline plus. i had heard about advantix. i am wondering if that is the best thing? i had spoke to someone about the advantix and they said the frontline for our 130 lb would need 2 different weight ranges of product, that the largest one is only up to 100 lbs. due to cost, if this is the case, we may have to stick with the frontline plus. please advise me. thanks! A: I would check with 1800petmeds pharmacist about dosing. please dont use any of them if dog is pregnant

Red dogQ: Need to known if flea & tick dip is still avalible on the market , and if so were can i get a bottle to rid the problum . my vet tells me it's not used anymore. thanks A: We do carry a product called paramite dip which will kill fleas, brown dog ticks, and clears sarcotic mange. the effect will last for about 2 weeks. most people today do not want to go through the process every 2 weeks and use monthly easy applications of products like frontline plus.
