Nikki is adorable! Thanks for including pictures! Yes, PetSmile is expensive, but it is one of the only toothpastes to actually be approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council. Here is a list of their approved products. http://www.vohc.org/VOHCAcceptedProductsTable_Dogs.pdf PetSmile is what I use with my dogs. (Last year they ran a 25% off sale before Christmas, so I stocked up!) Yes, it is fine to use Dawn on Nikki's feet daily, but I suspect any gentle cleaner would be fine as well. You may have to experiment to find the best shampoo for her. I have been very pleased with EarthBath products, so you might want to try their Oatmeal and Aloe shampoo for itch relief. https://earthbath.com/product/oatmeal-aloe-shampoo/ There are also prescription itch relief shampoo and conditioner products if needed that you can talk to your vet about. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your questions. Thanks for using PetCoach.

He is quite handsome. It looks like he is due for his distemper/parvo vaccine and Bordetella vaccine. He will be due for his rabies at the beginning of March. In order to keep all of his vaccines together, I would go ahead and have all of his vaccines updated before having him groomed. I hope this helps!

Petco requires animals in our care to meet certain vaccination requirements based on age and type of animal. All required vaccinations must be up to date. See the table below for required vaccinations. Required vaccinations for grooming: ----------------------------------- ### Dog - **Under 16 weeks:** Puppy Starter (Parvovirus, Hepatitis, Distemper). Puppies must have completed at least 2 sets of shots before being admitted into the Grooming Salon. - **16 weeks and older:** Rabies: All dogs must wait 24 hours after receiving any vaccination before being admitted into the Grooming Salon. - **New York City:** requires that every dog sheltered, maintained, harbored, fed, watered or groomed be vaccinated for rabies, distemper, hepatitis, para-influenza, and parvovirus within past three years and for Bordetella within the past six months. - Due to vaccination limitations with Wolf hybrids, these pets will not be accepted for any services/events in any Petco facility. This includes, but is not limited to, Grooming, Dog Training, Pooch, Adoption events, Veterinary Clinics, etc. ### Cat - **Under 16 weeks:** Parvovirus (Panleukopenia), Herpesvirus-1 (Viral Rhinotracheitis), Calicivirus, First Year Boosters - **16 weeks and older:** Rabies **Required Vaccinations for Dog Training:** - Under 16 weeks: puppy starter (Parvovirus, Hepatitis, Distemper) - 16 weeks and older: rabies - Note: puppies must have at least their first set of Puppy shots a minimum of two weeks prior to the start of the class. **Acceptable Proof of Vaccinations:** - Vaccination Record from the Veterinarian's office, rescue group, or breeder - Typed letter on Veterinary Clinics letterhead. Letter must state the vaccination(s) given to the pet and must be signed by the Veterinarian who administered the vaccination(s). - If the pet parent cannot provide proof of vaccinations, ask for the Veterinarian's phone number and call them while the pet parent is present and request that they fax a letter (on Veterinary Clinic's letterhead ) or a copy of the pet's medical records showing current vaccinations. - A rabies tag on the pet's collar is not acceptable proof of vaccination. - Petco does not accept for any reason any pets where the pet parent administered the rabies vaccination themselves. All vaccinations must be administered or supervised by a Veterinarian. - Proof of vaccinations is not required for use of the Self-Service Pet Wash - Petco does not require vaccinations in our Hawaii stores. The state of Hawaii does not require pets that live on the islands to be vaccinated. **Petco Vaccination Clinics** - Our vaccination clinics offer a variety of preventative care services for the health and well-being of your pet. - For more information on Vetco services available at our clinics visit their website [here](https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/).
