Thank you Dr. Jeff for the info on what you use/recommend!

I meant something like fluent pet or talking dog buttons. Is this recommended?
It looks so cool and potentially helpful.

As for the Pet Pace, I understand there's a significant monthly cost. It does go lower with an extended subscription.
Does it not help much puppies or with young dogs?
How valuable is the info?

Does it not help much puppies or with young dogs?

Great question! Yes, BEAM is usually the only biomarker that is helpful or needed in young pups.

Got it! Thank you Dr. Jeff

Great article Dr. Jeff. Every vet should be telling their patient guardians about BEAM.!

I meant something like fluent pet or talking dog buttons. Is this recommended at HA!?
It looks so cool and potentially helpful.

Great questions - please share if you try fluent pet or talking dog buttons.

when a dog is healthy, they do not need wondercide or any other topical - they just do not attract fleas. They will also be much more resistant to any tick diseases. Keep working on building up health and vitality. You can read the Fleas Be Gone ebook for a little more. tickless tags (ultrasonic) and 0bugzone tags (energetic) and other mentioned in this forum may be easier and less smelly than wondercide (dog will keep smelling it!).
