My diabetic cat's insulin is expensive. Any OTC human alternatives?
I’m assuming you meant ProZinc insulin and if so there is unfortunately not a cheaper alternative. While less expensive human insulin can on rare occasions be used successfully in cats it usually does not provide good control of diabetes. You also need to start over with dosing and frequent monitoring when switching from one insulin to another which would increase cost. It’s probably best to stick with ProZinc if Mikey is well regulated.

My dog has bladder issues. Can Petco prescribe Proin for her?
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear about Brittany's troubles. I am not sure if Petco has full veterinary services, as that is the appropriate avenue for eventually prescribing proin. When I see a dog for urinary incontinence issues, I start with a full blood and urine panel and a culture of the urine to rule out infections or any other health issues. I also will check the urinary bladder with an ultrasound and take a few xrays to make sure we don't have bladder or kidney stones, or cancer of some kind causing the incontinence. Once I've ruled out any other causes, and I know I need to use proin, I check a blood pressure to make sure that's normal too (because proin can cause side effecrs with that). I'll start a patient on the recommended dose and then recheck to make sure it's working. A couple weela after starting I'll usually check blood pressure, and then once more 4-6 weeks out. At that time I'll often check a mini panel and just double check some blood values. If all is well, i will just do periodic blood pressure checks throughout the year and labwork as needed for senior pets. I hope this answer is helpful!

My senior spayed dog wets the bed. Is PPA (Proin) a good option?
Hi there. PPA (phenylpropanolamine, or Proin) is a very common first-line choice for urinary incontinence in female dogs, and often works well in my experience. So it's likely that this could be a good option for Sofi, depending on whether she has any other underlying health issues to consider. Unfortunately, we cannot provide a prescription over the internet, as legally this has to be done by a veterinarian who has physically examined your pet. So I would recommend making an appointment with a veterinarian in your area to bring Sofi in for an exam. He/she can discuss medication options for urinary incontinence with you, and should be able to provide a prescription for whatever medication the two of you decide to try.

How do I order my dog's vet prescription meds online from Petco?
You would need a current prescription from a veterinarian who has physically examined Duke. You can then place your order and submit the prescription. The pharmacy will then contact the veterinarian or clinic to confirm the prescription then fill the order.

How do I prepare my sick small dog's vet-prescribed medicine?
Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Unfortunately you didn't provide your dogs weight so we can not give you doses. I recommend calling your Vet when they re-open. In the US it is not legal to prescribe medications with out a label and the medications not reconstituted (made in to a liquid from the powder form). Are you in the US? Also in the US we do not prescribe Acetominophen ( https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/tylenol/ ). I recommend calling your Vet regarding that medication as we can't recommend giving it to dogs. I am sorry but if you want to re-post with Ringa's weight we can probably help with the Amoxicillin).
