Hello. My sweet border collie has these scab like crust only on his chest. I checked EVERYWHERE else but couldn’t find them. Are they fleas or could it be something else. I also have 3 cats who have shown no sign of fleas either.

Noticed tiny black specks on my 9 week old Golden Retriever female puppy near her vagina. I thought it was just dirt at first so I gave her a bath, but then realized it wasn’t dirt! Wondering if it’s just hyperpigmentation, a yeast infection, blackheads or possibly flea droppings. Any insight...

I don't seem to be able to get total control over fleas here in Florida and my dogs keep getting tapeworm. The over the counter med for tapeworm is Praziquantel. It's easy to find the dosage, and I have a strong science background and am capable of measuring. I find that tablets containing the...
