Pretzel bites are ok as well. Either is fine in this case. : ) Trifexis isn't the best smelling flea/heartworm preventative, so I understand the struggle with trying to make it more palatable for her. Best wishes with your pet Snowball moving forward! Take care.

Hello, thank you for using PetCoach. It sounds like PhatPhat has underlying allergies. That being said, it is not likely to be a true food allergy. If you play the odds, it is more likely to be an environmental allergy. The only way to know for sure if she has a food allergy is to have her allergy tested. I would really recommend you have that done. To answer your question specifically about dog food that is small bites and no red dye, I would recommend this one.

Yes! It definitely sounds like he needs some omega 3 fatty acids. These treats look like a good source. I also like vetriscience omega 3 fatty acid product. I’ll attach the link below. I hope this helps!

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! PlaqueOff is a great product to try. We currently use the powder formulation for dogs and cats but if they have treats for cats this should be absolutely safe to try. As with any supplement, there are no guarantees it will work but it is worth a try. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! A very good diet that is also accessible and not expensive is the Purina pro Plan shredded diets. You can get them at your local pet store. While it may not be an emergency, it is still ideal to have him checked for the bites and the itchiness. It is also very important to start a flea and tick preventative like Frontline plus. He may be itching due to allergies. It really comes down to figuring out what is causing his allergies so that they can be treated or the specific allergen avoided. A secondary infection is likely and also needs to be addressed. There are many things that can cause allergies though in most cases they can be broken down into 3 big categories: flea, food and environmental allergies. Allergies are usually worked up in a stepwise fashion starting with flea allergies as this is the easiest and cheapest to take care of. If not on a flea preventative, then it would be a good idea to get started on one. If already on one then it would be a good idea to change to something else (there are many new products out in the market). If not improved in 1-3 months then it is time to move on and check for food allergies by switching to a novel diet (new protein and new carbohydrate). If that does not seem to be the issue then you are left out having to check for environmental allergies which require blood and/or skin tests. Allergies can be very frustrating to deal with at first but so rewarding at the end when we are able to treat them effectively!
