Frontline Plus Flea and Tick Control for Dogs

Posted by admin on April 16, 2011 No comment

He’s been constantly scratching for a week. We thought it was because we trimmed his fur around his belly, and never thought he had fleas. It finally caught our attention when some black things were jumping on him.

His breeder recommended Advantage, and our Vet recommended Frontline Plus. We wanted to use K9 Advantix because that’s the only product that kills Tiger Mosquito. We’ve done a quick research about Flea Control products. It seems Advantage is good to kill ticks, and Frontline Plus works well for fleas, and what he has now is fleas so it was clear to us which one to try first.

Fortunately our local Costco had Frontline Plus. We bought one and applied to him in a parking lot. Costco now sells the pack of 6 as well as the regular pack of 3.

Unfortunately he caught fleas, so we rushed to the pet store to buy shampoo after a quick research on the internet. This shampoo works great, we washed him waited for 4 days then washed him again and he was free of fleas. This is their newer version ‘plus advanced formula’; it didn’t dry his coat, made it soft and it smelled nice.

UgoDog Indoor Dog Potty

Posted by admin on March 10, 2011 No comment

We bought this UgoDog Indoor Dog Potty because every time he pees or poops his paws are soaked and dirty. It is plastic based and it measures 19.1″x 26.4″x0.98″ (48.5cm x 64cm x 2.5 cm). You just add a pee pad or a newspaper (cost you much less) under the rack and it is ready to be used. It was expensive for a plastic product ($49.95), and sometimes he still have some pee on his paws or squash his poop; which makes it difficult to clean as the rack squares are very small. He tends to do his business always on the same spot, and after couple days it smells pee, so I usually change the pee pad every couple of days and clean the UgoDog with a disinfecting product.
