Pooping and peeing in house
Q: Hi, my family bought a dachshund in august of this year. as of today he is 4 months old, we bought him when he was 9 weeks old. he is the sweetest dog but we are having trouble potty training him. he won't use it in his crate while we are gone, which is great. as soon as we get home, we let him out to potty and he does and we also reward him with praises and treats, but he still has accidents in the house and whats crazy is that he has a favorite room to pee and another one to poop in! i can't never catch him in the act. he stays locked in his crate during the day for 8 hours with no accidents..and we take him out every hour and a half in the evenings. how can i get him to totally house break? i never used paper, i thought that by taking him out, he would eventually get the idea and he has somewhat. any suggestions? thanks
A: You may want to go out more often than every 90 minutes. try 60 minutes or 45 minutes.

Fleas that don't go away
Q: After using drops giving flea baths bombing house..my maltese cannot get rid of fleas they are always there. therefore attacking my other animals as well.should i put them on rimadyl? or what? i know that white dogs are magnets for fleas in our area ( north east pennsylvania) we have been infested. please advice.. p.s. i have 3 birds and must be careful with the products i use. thank you in advance, lisa m phillips
A: I would try oral progam for dogs as well as a few doses of capstar to kill the adult fleas from 1800petmeds. also treat house with good product like fleabusters which you can find on line

Fleas & itchy skin
Q: I have 4 cats. two of which seem to be reacting much worse to fleas. i have dipped them for the fleas using adams pyrethrin dip, but this seems to have irritated their skin even worse. their skin is very dry and itchy, and they are pulling out their fur around their back and paws. we want to try advantage or frontline but are hesitant to worsen their condition any futher. they still have fleas and are suffering, not to mention we are expecting a baby and would like to get rid of the flea problem as inexpensively as possible asap. thanks, kim parker
A: I would try a few doses of oral capstar as well as oral program for quick kill of adult fleas well as preventing future reproduction. also consider home treatment with very safe product known as fleabusters which you can find on line

2 dogs, 2 sizes, 2 different frontline products?
Q: Hello, my boys are both pretty large, my aussie/lab mix weighs 75 lbs. and my black lab/chow mix is 130 lbs. i have been buying 2 seperate boxes of frontline plus (very expensive) because i will not take a chance on over/under dosing either of my boys. is there possibly a happy medium or should i contnue as i have been? i want to be safe. thank you for your time & patience. sincerely, melissa
A: Judging by the weights you show in your question, you need to use different strength products for each dog.
