Au Revoir, you blood sucking ticks!
Many dogs do not like to bring up the "T" word in mixed company. O.k. I'll say it. Ticks. Many dogs suffer from ticks in silence because it is so embarrasing to bark about. I have been tick free for about a year now. I haven't always been so lucky. About a year and a half ago I was having a real problem. I was using Frontline each month. I was taking a tick bath every two weeks. The ticks just kept coming. I called the Frontline customer service. I politely explained to the Frontline lady that their product sucked really bad. She explained to me how Frontline works. Their product does not repel ticks. It will only kill the tick after it has completely gorged itself on your blood. What? I threw away the rest of my Frontline. I went to my veterinarian and he set me up with Advantix for dogs. Advantix actually repels ticks. Those nasty ticks won't even get on you in the first place. Since I started using Advantix I have been tick free!
