markm Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Bravecto. My cocker used to pick them up during the summer and at the start of the shooting season. Never seen one since he's started on the tablet. Bravecto. My cocker used to pick them up during the summer and at the start of the shooting season. Never seen one since he's started on the tablet.

You should consider changing the places where you take your dog out for walks. Some vegetation is more conducive to holding ticks than others.

That'll just be a coincidence as bravecto doesn't stop the ticks going on the dog it only works once the tick has started feeding. I'm hoping they come up with a product that makes the ticks jump off as soon as they get on the dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some vegetation is more conducive to holding ticks than others. He was out picking up on a partridge shoot. But that is good info to consider when training or just exercising.

loriusgarrulus Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I have found frontline to be increasingly ineffective in the last few years for even fleas. I have swapped to Advantage. So far so good this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
