Pooping outside litter boxQ: I have 7 year old and 2 year old cats. my 7 year old came from a somewhat neglectful home and will not poop in a dirty litter box. my husband and i have tried scooping the box several times a day and he still poops out side of the box. my 2 year old is constantly spraying out side of the box when he is mad at us. other then these problems they are pretty good cats. i just dont know what to do about the peeing and pooping. A: Try adding additional litterboxes and using different litter types such as everclean which i have found helpful sometimes. also consider feliaway from 1800petmeds which can sometimes act as deterrant and make sure cleaning soiled areas with nonammonia based product such as natures miracle

Oxydex shampoo & advantage flea controlQ: We have to shampoo our small dog with oxydex at least one time per week for control of demodex. does this remove the protection of the advantage we use on him? we also have to give him a small amount of liquid ivermectin every other day. our vet said since he is on that, he does not need heartguard. true? do you also carry that product? thank you. A: If you wait 24 hours after applicatioin of the advantage you will not have any problem bathing your dog. ivermectin is the active ingredient in heartgard and you would not need both. we have ivomec solution, 1%, our sku # 10097
