Thanks Karen! I hope to be able to be more active here again....I have my Kindle Fire to post from now too so I can get online more often. And we also did get a new dog, Cash. I will have to post some pics in the intro thread here soon. :-)
Snakemama- I have not seen tick repelling wipes but I will be looking for them now! It's been a wet spring here in PA and the ticks are abundant from what I am hearing. Obviously when we camp, Cash is outside all day except for sleeping in the camper at night. I know the Frontline kills them once they bite but I hate the thought that they bite him at all....poor baby. They are such nasty little critters, those ticks.
The Seresto website says it repels them for 8 months but we would probably only keep the collar on him when we are camping and not all the time. I will have to check with the vet though because it does say the active ingredient seeps into the dog's bloodstream via the collar and I am not sure if that is really the solution we are looking for? Those tick repelling wipes you mentioned however may be the ticket....we can just wipe him down in the am everyday.
Thank you!
