Dog Ticks Treatment is always something a pet owner should ask their vet; learning from other dog owners on how they dealt with dog tick bites will help in dealing and even preventing the problem.
I've been using Frontline Plus on my dog, but I'm not impressed. It claims to kill ticks yet I still pick a bunch off of him everytime we hike. And it does nothing for the gnats and mosquitos that bug him.
I've researched K9 Advantix, and there is a lot of horror stories ab… Read more

I am concerned that the E.P.A. has suddenly issued a warning about flea and tick treatments for dogs. I had used Frontline for years, but last year switched to Vectra 3D because my vets had gotten reports that Frontline was periodically failing some clients. They switched their pets and I… Read more

I agree. I am uneasy about flea treatments. My cocker spaniel passed away from cancer ,and I had always used the vet supplied Frontline. So I am too looking for a safer natural flea treatment. read more
I have tried several flea & tick protection products on my kitties. They hate the stuff and it even makes them sick! It can't be good for them but the parasites are harmful, too. Does anyone know a natural, safe way to keep the pests off pets? Read more

apparently bugs don't like the taste of neem oil, which is also good for the skin. doesn't kill 'em, but it does help repel them. Ark Naturals makes a Neem pet shampoo, or you can buy neem oil in mo… read more

Has anyone ever used garlic to combat fleas and ticks? I started using it because I do not like using the chemicals on my dog. She really likes the taste and it's all natural. I was just wondering if it will actually work. Read more

Very true -- too much garlic can be toxic for your dog! I strongly suggest talking with a vet and doing research on how much is too much and going from there. read more
I admit my ignorance. How is it possible to find ticks in a dog who lives in an apartment with no garden? I know them well because I was raised in the country but I thought my dogs had them becuase they were living mainly outside.
How can I prevent those annoying pet vampires to res… Read more

Ticks are everywhere. If an animal goes outside he/she can pick them up. So can you. They can jump in your hair and then off and into your house. Check your animals daily and use frontline every month… read more

I am adopting a rescue dog tomorrow (Lucy) and they told me she was infested with fleas and ticks. Her new foster took her to the groomer who apparently worked on her for quite a while, but wasn't able to remove all of them. I am under the impression that she is a little anemic. The gro… Read more

Rocco my neighbours dog got a tick the other day, it was quite large and it was on the top of his head, my friend managed to get it out, but now there is a small lump and it has a scab on it. She was worried about him so I told her that if it starts to get bigger take him to the vet.

Ticks belong to the arachnid family, and are blood sucking mites that leech themselves to your dog's skin, and gorge on his blood. In doing so, they can grow in size, a whopping hundred times. Unlike fleas, ticks are much harder to catch especially if your dog has a thick coat of fur. The only way to look for a tick infestation is to comb through with a comb, and look for black mites. The head, … read more

Remove the tick immediately. An infected tick can transmit disease in only a few hours. Wear latex gloves, if possible. Use tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible, and pull gently. Clean your hands, the bite area, and the tweezers with disinfectant. Place the tick in a small container of alcohol. Make note of the date. In case of future illness, tick identification will be… read more

It is tick season in NJ again. Every March and October, there is a burst of ticks for a 2 week span. They are around other times, but during this short span the population explodes. I don't know why - In the spring, I chalk it up to the emergence/hatching when the weather warms. Perhaps in October, they have a last party before they die (or do they hibernate?? I think they might). As usual, I… read more

By Michael Virtanen, Associated Press Writer INDIAN LAKE, N.Y. — When the brown duck swam close, the dog sat higher, alert and tensed in the canoe. She watched intently as the bird passed only feet from the boat's bow on the Adirondack lake, the surface glistening in afternoon sunshine. But Daisy didn't jump into the green-black water, still warm in early autumn, to chase the duck, or even bar… read more
