My vet said just last year he had over 100 cases of Lyme's just in his clinic, just from this area, and it's growing every year! My RB Willie got it once (before the new Lyme vaccine) and I never want to go through that again.
Fenway uses Frontline too but he still gets them. I was told that with Frontline that the tick bites the dog and then dies after ingesting the chemicals. I was going to use K9 Advantix becuase it's suppose to keep the ticks off the dog, but you have to keep cats away from the dog for 24 hours after applying it and I knew I couldn't do that so I chose Frontline.

I'm looking for natural remedies on the web. So far, I'm reading garlic pills can help to keep the ticks off because they don't like garlic. Perhaps I'll make Fenway a collar of garlic? But I have to do something. These ticks are disgusting.

Thanks for your reply.
