My dogs have a problem with ticks in the summer. Not usually ticks, but I haven't found a good brand yet. I have tried the collars, but they don't work good with us. I tried this stuff that you put down their back, but dirt sticks to it, and then they have a dirt line down their back!;) What kind do you use?

I don't use anything for ticks..I'm thinking about looking into it. I've heard about pills you can get for Ticks..some are 2 in 1 with flea medication. Ask your vet =]

How do you use it one the dogs? Pills, powder, or something?:confused:

How do you apply frontline on? Its a liquid medication you apply between their shoulder blades. It controls ticks up to 1 month, and fleas up to 3 months (so it says!):) ;)

Cool! Do you put it down their backs? That what ours does, and dirt sticks to it!:p
