Frontline doesn't seem to be very effective against ticks- one time Marta got a tick embedded in her 1 day after I applied the frontline. They've never had fleas, though.

I don't know how often your dogs are outside, but if nothing else works you could keep them indoors more. Ticks are scary because of the threat of disease. Good luck!

Yea, I never had a problem with fleas either. The dogs are only outside to go potty and then it's right back inside. We used to play ball outside, but that is now an inside activity. I should probably try something other than frontline. I tried a holistic garlic treatment and for awhile I thought that it seemed to help, but not as good as I would have liked it to worked.
