Hello, & thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Technically, yes you can, but I recommend separating the 2 medications by a couple of hours, or even give one on one day & the other the next. This is just in case Rebel gets an upset tummy & vomits, you do not lose everything. Hope this helps. Take care.

    Hello. I recommend separating the chewies by at least a few days, just in case Nori gets an upset tummy & throws everything up. This way you do not lose both & have to re-dose everything. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
