I just ordered Frontline Plus for my 3 dogs because flea and tick season will soon be upon us. I'll be doing heart worm and flea and tick protection on the same day each month so I can keep track.
It's been my experience to use tweezers to remove the tick so that the head remains intact, but sometimes it doesn't happen that way. Using peroxide may help flush it out but keep a very close eye on the area. I'd call the vet to make sure though. Serious infection could arise so be careful.
