Could Bayer Advantage Multi and Elanco Interceptor Plus be given to my dog at the same time (or will using both cause an issue)? The rescue recommended keeping my greyhound on Advantage Multi. It was also suggested that a Heart worm med be added.
Yes, you can give both products at the same time and Charlie will likely do fine. If you want to be extra cautious, separate them by two days. Neither product had activity against ticks. If ticks are a concern where you live, you can switch the products to something like Simparica for fleas and ticks and the Interceptor for heartworms and intestinal worms. There’s not really a reason to use three different products. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

What’s better ? Hartguard or interceptor ? Bravecto or frontline ?
Heartgard and interceptor are equal. It is personal preference for your dog and you. Heartgard is a larger, chunky chewable which some smaller dogs may not like to where interceptor is small pile that can be hidden in a treat and raiser to give pickier dogs. Bravecto is a better product as it is a pill form and last for 3 months but frontline is a topical that last for a single month

Trix was just diagnosed with small cell lymphoma and since she started Leukeran she no longer wants to eat her Royal Canin selected protein foods(rabbit duck venison) or hydrolyzed food. I spoke with Boop by Petco earlier and is was suggested I try n
Hello. I would stop the Cap Shield Plus because it contains lufernon & so does the Sentinel. Lufernon is useful for flea control, but does not kill adult fleas. You can use a similar product just called Capstar, & this can be used daily, if necessary to kill adult fleas. Or, you can administer it as needed if you see fleas. It is safe to give with the Sentinel. You can also use something else to kill your adult fleas & get ticks, such as Frontline Gold, Advantix or even a Seresto Collar to compliment the Sentinel. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

I am raising a dog and a cat together. Since the dog goes out constantly, should I apply pest treatment on my cat monthly? If I need to, what kind of treatment should I use?
Hello. You have asked a very good & very important question. Many times people think they do not need to treat an indoor pet for pests & parasites, but things can come into the house, like fleas on the dog before they have a chance to die from any treatments you use on the dog, to mosquitoes to even a tick coming in on you clothes. There are many very good products for cats. My personal favorites are [Bravecto]( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/bravecto-plus-topical-solution-for-cats-63-138-lbs-single-2-month-dose) topical for cats & [Revolution Plus](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/revolution-plus-topical-solution-111-22lbs-cat). Both of these require a prescription from your veterinarian. If you want to use an over the counter product, then [Frontline Gold](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/frontline-gold-flea-and-tick-treatment-for-cats) or the [Seresto Collar](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/seresto-flea-and-tic
