What paints are safe for dogs to use for paw print art projects?

Any paint that is safe for small children will be ok. Please don’t let him eat or lick the paint as this can still make them sick. Also thoroughly wash his paws when you are done. Sounds fun! Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Buddy.

Is human hair gel safe for dogs, or should I buy a pet-specific one?

Human products are made for a different pH than what a dogs normal skin should be so long term use may cause problems. They do make different products for pets, such as conditioners, gels, and even dye base on what your need is. Any local petstore has all the supplies. If you can post again for the specific use you are seeking, we can find a product right for you

How much is a cat at Petco? What supplies do I need & will it scratch?

Hello. The cats & kittens offered at Petco are actually managed by individual rescue groups. Prices will differ from rescue to rescue. All cats can do well if they are played with & fussed over once you get home. Can they get into trouble & sometimes make a mess? Absolutely. If you do not want hair & dander & kitty litter tracked all over the house, you should not have a pet. Cats may need to have their claws trimmed ( NOT REMOVED ) & plenty of opportunities to exercise their claws, otherwise they will scratch your furniture, moldings & walls. You will need different types of scratching surfaces, plenty of toys, a water & food dish, litter box ( or 2 ), & lots of patience. All cats are individuals, so when you go looking to adopt a cat, take your family & give yourself plenty of time to spend with your potential pet, & ask lots of questions about them. Good luck & thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Where can I get my dog's nails clipped and microchipped at Petco?

The local Petco can likely handle both. You can use the link below to find the nearest one as well as the dates and times for a Vaccination /Microchip Clinic. If the offer grooming services, the nail trim can be done as long as Roscoe can be restrained safely. https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/

Where can I get my kitten's nails trimmed at Petco or a vet?

Any Petsmart or Petco groomer should be able to cut Brooklyn's nails. You can also go to your vet's office and they can actually show you how to trim her nails. I would just call prior to make sure they have time today, since they may not take walk in nail trims. Thank you for using Boop by Petco!
