Tick Issues!

[K9soul]

Is the pet safe cedar spray something you bought at a store? If so, what is it called? I am going to the health food store at lunchtime and can see if they have a cedar spray. Thanks!

This is what I have http://www.crazypetshop.com/store/p/...ay-Bottle.aspx

It does smell nice too. Hope that helps

Thank you soooo much! Some of the ingredients in the spray were mentioned on other websites for repelling ticks. And I love the smell of cedar! Thank you soooo much!!!

The ticks are terrible here too! I was walking the dogs on a PAVED trail which is only about 3/4 mile long around a prairie and we found 3 ticks walking on Vallis, one on Adele, and one in the car! I am very scared of them too, I have a lot of trouble looking at them, let along touching them! Yuck I am so glad I had someone with me not totally scared of them. I can pull them off but only if I don't touch them with my bare hand.

I haven't found any on my dogs so dar, but we live in town. I took Sam out to the country park in the woods, but he didn't get any. I REALLY hate ticks. I got one in my ear once. *yuck!*

YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I gave Fenway his first garlic pill last night and about 30 minutes later he threw up all over my bed. It wasn't the pill though. I had been wondering where his plastic football went and there it was, on the bed - he ate it to pieces. I think his tummy was upset and that's why he threw up.

I will try giving him a pill tonight.

Last night for our walk, we stayed out of the woods. We walked in a couple of ball parks and in a cemetary...no ticks on him last night. Thank God!

Gonzo has never had fleas or ticks - thank GOD! I would pretty much die if I found a tick on myself... they aren't that gross, I'm just really squeemish. I put Frontline Plus on Gonzo, just during the bad months, and it apparently works very well. The backyard at my Mom's new house is 1+ acre, mostly grass, but in the back it has longer brush and trees, so we're getting that mowed and we're thinking of adding nematodes.
