Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! At 14 weeks of age Hamilton should be almost finished his puppy vaccine series. At 14 weeks of age, if he has never had vaccines, he would need two DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parvo and parainfluenza) vaccines 3-4 weeks apart. The 2nd DHPP is good for 1 year. He can also receive the rabies vaccine. You should bring a stool sample and be sure he gets dewormed. He should be started on heartworm prevention and flea and tick medications. He doesn't need to be bathed often unless he smells or is dirty. Once a month is probably fine. I like a moisturizing oatmeal based shampoo (http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=19244). I like Purina Proplan puppy, Hill's Science diet and Royal canin brands. I hope this helps and I wish you and Hamilton the best!

I'm sorry but it looks like your question got cut off. I'm not sure if I will be actually answering you correctly. If not, please post again with more information and photos of your pet's skin if you would like some product recommendations. Petco offers low cost vaccination, deworming, flea/tick/heartworm prevention, nail clipping, etc. through their weekend VETCO clinics inside their stores. It doesn't appear that there are any close to you though - the closest one is about 40 miles away. If you are willing to drive this may be your least expensive option. They do not charge an exam fee. Tractor Supply also has a similar program. ( https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/?zip=66095 ) ( https://petvet.vippetcare.com/find-a-clinic/ ) I found this housecall vet in your area. You can certainly contact them to check their pricing: ( http://vetsonwheels.website/mobile-vet-services-in-williamsburg-ks-we-come-to-you-in-kansas.html ) This is a link with resources for people that need help with vet bills. Scroll down as there are some Kansas specific organizations. ( https://www.dogingtonpost.com/need-help-with-vet-bills-or-pet-food-there-are-resources-available/ ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.

It is very difficult for us to recommend products when we don't know what is available to you in your country. Here in the US we would recommend products like these: ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/kaytee-timothy-hay-baked-apple-small-animal-treats ) ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/oxbow-15-oz-oxbow-alfalfa-hay ) ( ) I don't think dog biscuits are the best option.

Hi and thanks for posting on PetCoach! There are LOTS of pet insurance providers out there- all with different plans and monthly premium prices. You may obtain pet insurance for Jada by going online to any of the insurance company website and applying online or by calling their customer service number. Some great pet insurance options I'd recommend are below: 1) Embrace Pet Insurance 2) Figo Pet Insurance 3) Trupanion Below I have included a helpful website where you can compare companies and plans: https://lendedu.com/blog/best-pet-insurance/

The commercially available DNA tests I am familiar with are Wisdom Panel by Mars, DNA My Dog based out of Toronto, Paw Print Genetics out of Spokane and Embark out of Austin, Tx. Wisdom Panel® Canine DNA Tests determine the breed ancestry of a dog by determining the genotype of the dog, at hundreds of individual sites in its DNA. The results are then compared with the genotypes of the more than 12,000 breed samples in their database. Similarly, DNA My Dog tests for 85 of the most common breeds that make up approximately 97% of the common North American mixed breed population. Paw Print Genetics is designed to assist breeders and has the advantage of testing for several genetic diseases. The breed-specific panels offer a comprehensive service at a discounted rate, and you can choose genetic diseases you would like to test for. Embark tests for over 150 breeds including wolf, coyote, and village dog ancestry (feral dogs) - accounting for 98% of dogs in America. Additionally, Embark screens for over 160 canine genetic diseases including MDR1, degenerative myelopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, PRA blindness, exercise-induced collapse. It is certified by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), partnered with Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine. All tests require taking two samples of cells from the dog’s inner cheek on swabs, which are then air-dried, sealed, and mailed off to the lab. The turn around time varies from 2-8 weeks. As far as the cost, DNA My Dog is the most economical at about $60, followed by Wisdom and Paw Print at about $80 and Embark at $200.
