No, these supplements can contain ingredients that are not safe for dogs, and really have no proven efficacy. Urine burns on the law from Rufus's urine could be caused by a poor quality diet. Try feeding him a high quality diet that contains higher quality and more digestible proteins such as Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, or Purina ProPlan. You can also try to make his urine more dilute by increasing his water intake by feeding him canned food or soaking his dry food with water.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is a matter of patience and persistence. I would continue to carry him out onto the grass and keep him on a leash on the grass until he goes and then reward him with a treat. You might also consider purchasing a product called Fresh Patch, which is a patch of sod in a cardboard container that you place on the ground and is used as an area where Jasper can go to the bathroom in the house or on the patio. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!

Any typical grass found in yard landscaping is fine for dogs, like Kentucky Bluegrass. More important would be to consider what is best suited to your environment in terms of needing little watering. It's best to chose landscaping that is native to your area.

DermaForte is a product that contains essential fatty acids. By "essential," we mean these are fatty acids that the body cannot synthesize itself, and therefore they must be consumed. Omega-3 fatty acids have been clinically proven to improve the signs of atopic dermatitis, which is sounds like Benji has. Unfortunately, this product you are looking at purchasing contains evening primrose oil as its source of EFAs, and research shows it is not very "bioavailable" which means it is difficult for the body to use, so it has limited efficacy. For atopic dermatitis, I routinely recommend fish oils as a more bioavailable form of omega-3 fats. Good brands to look for include Welactin and 3-V. Both are available in capsules and liquid form. I will add that most atopic dermatitis patients need more than simply omega-3 FA therapy; as Dr. Macon has mentioned below they typically need hypoallergenic diets and/or immunosuppressive medications to control the itchiness.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You may need to feed the i/d stew for a few days in a row to appreciate a difference in stool. But Chloe's stool may look the same on both diets. The stool is normal in each picture, so I'm not sure what the goal with her stool is. I hope this helps!
