Tick help needed

I would ask your vet to see if there any treatments you could give them that are better on ticks. I give my dogs frontline, too, and when we go hiking in the woods they get ticks, too, but fortunately since I live in town it's not a problem most of the time. 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.

There is a product out there, just for ticks. It is applied just like advantage. I thought the name was preventic but all I could find for that is just collars. I know that it can be used with advantage (not sure if it can be used with other flea treatments) but it works wonders.
If I can find or think of the name I will let you know... I'm trying.
