My dog seems to get nervous when there are a lot of people around. Thursday being Thanksgiving we will be having family over and I want to know what I can give her to help calm her down.
Poor pup! You can try a DAP pheromone collar along with a natural calming supplement like Zylkene or Composure if you wish - these are very safe and can be purchased over the counter without a prescription. If you think that she may need something stronger, I would recommend talking with your regular vet about whether she might benefit from prescription anti-anxiety medication, such as alprazolam or trazodone.

I’m traveling with my pet during the holidays. Is It safe to fly? What should I pack to make sure they are comfortable?
The safety of flying with pets varies widely depending on an individual pet’s temperament, anxiety level and underlying health issues, as well as the duration of the flight and temperature both at the destination and departure location. Generally speaking, most pets do not make the best travel companions while flying, as they can become very anxious with the hustle and bustle of the terminal, loud noises on the airplane and handling during security checkpoints. Anxious pets are more likely to become destructive, vocal or have accidents. Larger pets need to travel in crates in the baggage compartment of the plane, where they are unsupervised and may be exposed to extreme temperatures for potentially prolonged periods of time while waiting to be loaded or unloaded from the plane. In addition, most airlines require a veterinarian to sign off on the health of the pet before they can fly in cargo. When possible, most pets will be more comfortable and safer if left at home with a trusted fri

My dog doesn’t feel comfortable with strangers, he tends to try to hurt them. How should we control when we have company over for the holidays?
Hi there and thank you for using pet coach. If Sherlock is fearful and aggressive towards strangers, it is going to be too difficult to train him before the holidays as training takes time. If you are going to have people over then I would keep him in a separate room or a crate. I would also recommend using a product called NaturVet Quiet Moments with Melatonin for dogs. You can find these at your local pet store or online. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi! My girl Aspen here has been having this bumps under her fur show up.. I dont know what it is and it worries me because she has 6 week old puppies. None of them have bumps like this except 1 has 1 small bump on her head. And it looks like it scabb
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! From the pictures it looks like Aspen has hives. This is usually an allergic reaction and I would suspect some kind of bug bit her causing the reaction. You can give her Benadryl every 8 hours for the reaction. If it’s not helping, you should take her to the vet for stronger medications. She should no longer be nursing but it is safe for the babies. Also, the reaction isn’t contagious so I wouldn’t worry about them. Good luck and kisses to Aspen and her babies!

Can you please list out Pet friendly indoor plants? Thank you!.
The ASPCA Poison Control Website is the best guide for toxic and non-toxic plants. When I filtered for non-toxic plants for dogs, there is a list of 587 plants. I am attaching the link below. https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/toxic-and-non-toxic-plants?field_non_toxicity_value%5B%5D=01 They do not differentiate between indoor and outdoor plants, but that list may give you something to search if you are trying to decide on safe indoor plants. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
