I went backcountry backpacking with Murph in Tennessee
a few months ago. Before we left I put some Advantage on
him, thinking it was for ticks and fleas. We stumbled into
a tick infestation a couple of days into the trip and we were
picking approx. 30 ticks a night off Murph. I was afraid to
put human bug spray on him, so we ended up coming back
early. We were still picking ticks off him all the way home
to Texas. When we got home I read the Advantage package
more closely and found out it was only for fleas. Argh! I'll
never make that mistake again. It was such a nitemare.
I don't know what we would have done if Murph wasn't
such a good boy, cuz picking ticks off of him for a couple
hours a night, was not a pleasant experience for him,
especially since they got between his toes and in his
ears.
Oh and never let your friends feed your dog fries and peanuts
on the drive to and fro, especially to a dog that rarely ever gets
people food. It's not a pretty site.
