Kcs & cyclosporinQ: I receive cyclosporin drops in corn oil from my vet. when i go to purchase this online, many places(1800petmeds) only have it in a salve-type formula which seems to make my cocker's eyes worse. i was wondering if petmeds offer this in a large bottle(more than my usual 5cc) with the cyclosporin in corn oil? A: We currently do not supply the cyclosporin in oil.

Heartgard plusQ: Hi, i just took my dogs to the vet for their annual checkup and shots. i usually get the heartgard plus for 12 months through the vet. eventhough i give the medicine religiously every month on the same day, my vet is requireing the heartworm blood test at $50.00 per dog. if i buy the heartgard plus from your pharmacy, will you also require, when you contact my vet, that the bloodtest be done before you prescribe the meds? also can i order two six month supplies for each of my dogs? thanks so much, jennie A: Heartworm products require a prescription from your vet. if the veterinarian you are using requires annual testing then you will have no choice. in answer to your second question, you can order a 12 pack for each of them. if you wish to save money, we can supply the iverhart plus that is the generic equivalent for the heartgard plus.

What kind of inexpensive dog food do you suggest?Q: Hello i have a 2yr old syb husky that i recued from the animal shelter. she is a wonderfull dog. i had been using iam's chicken adult dog food. i noticed that she was eating grass to settle her stomach. i thought this was a break in period till she got used to the new food. i have just ran out of the 40lb bag and she was still nibling at the grass in the back yard. i purchased some wal-mart brand ol-roy the performance dog food for active dogs which she is. she loves it she eats it up like there's no tomorrow. a friend told me though that it is garbage. i feed her a vitamin everyday and also joint suppliments just incase she has any problems with her joints later on. my question is. is the ol-roy dog food really that much different than the other expensive dog food that is on the market. is there a better inexpensive dog food that you would recomend. i seen how you suggested the all natural dog food as the best to buy. please don't get me wrong if i have to spend more money on her food i will do so. but i do not wish to spend more if it is not more of a benefit to her. thank you A: I will answer your question with analogy about status of our own meat supply whic is certainly in question with mad cow disease and other bacterial parasite risks evident in media. well most of meat that goes into cheaper dog foods is made from rejects of human consumption as well as other horrid sources. i would stick with natural brand foods like pet guard, wyssong, etc. only one i would even consider that is widely distributed is natures recipe
