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 Boop by Petco.

Hello and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. It sounds as though Maggie may have an allergy based on your description. I would recommend bathing her in a shampoo such as Douxo PS calm shampoo and bathe twice weekly until the resolved. I would also recommend using a spray such as malacetic conditioning spray and apply to the area until resolved. Welactin omega 3 fish oil and essential 6 spot on by dermoscent are a couple of other products I recommend which can be found online easily. I hope this helps! If there is no improvement then I would discuss other options with a veterinarian that may provide more relief using prescription medications if needed. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

If the nails are bothersome or getting torn off, your vet may ultimately recommend having them removed to prevent it. However, if you are waiting to save up for this procedure, keeping the nails trimmed back as close to the quick as possible can help keep them from snagging on things and tearing. Keeping the area clean and dry can also help reduce chances of infection or bacteria getting trapped in the area as well.

Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach! I recommend using a product called BioBalm by Dermoscent. Bayer makes this product and you can find this easily online. For the long hair like pieces, I usually recommend having these trimmed (there are no nerves going to these pieces and it is painless to have these trimmed back). I would recommend having this done at your veterinarian's clinic where they can trim them there using clippers or a dremmel file. Once these have been made shorter, the BioBalm can be applied 3 times daily. It may take several months for this balm to work well but I have seen cases such as Allie's dramatically improve. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Poor girl. If I understand correctly her nails are not cut and potentially one of the nails is imbedded in the paw, causing it to be swollen. If this is the case, then you will have to carefully cut the nail that is embedded with pet nail trimmers from your local pet store. Do a quick search on youtube for instructions on how to properly trim a pets nails to make sure you don't cut them too short, causing pain and further bleeding. Also pick up some Kwik-Stop Styptic powder to use on the nail if it starts to bleed. Then soak the paw in a warm Epsom Salt bath to help reduce some of the pain and inflammation. Soak the paw daily thereafter, as needed, until the swelling has been resolved. If there is any sign of infection however then Cookie will most likely need antibiotics from a vet to get things to resolve completely, because there aren't many antibacterial options for her over the counter if an abscess has formed on the toe.
