• Lisa Riley Posted : 3/14/2006 3:16:09 PM Have you ever tried frontline.  This seems to work well where we live for ticks, fleas ect.  You can get it from your vet and it goes by the weight of your dog.  You just put it on (between the shoulders) once a month and it keeps the nasty insects at bay. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jessies_mom Posted : 3/14/2006 3:56:31 PM Hello jehani and welcome to i-dog, Your dog is beautiful. If you can get Frontline Plus, it works good for fleas and  great for ticks. Here is a link that shows the product : [linkhttp://www.jefferspet.com/ssc/product.asp?CID=0&mscssid=4P0JMT01D7KR8L25SGDVAK09P1KECUS9]http://www.jefferspet.com/ssc/product.asp?CID=0&mscssid=4P0JMT01D7KR8L25SGDVAK09P1KECUS9[/link] You need to make sure it is Frontline Plus and not just regular Frontline if you want to control ticks.We have a German Shepherd mix and hike in woods and grassy fields every weekend, and since we started using Frontline Plus we find a lot less ticks on our dog than we used to. For our dog, it works better than collars made to kill ticks. It also kills the ticks before they have a chance to feed on your dog. I don't think you can get a once a month topical product to kill flies, but you can find products that repel them, such as collars and sprays :   [linkhttp://www.jefferspet.com/ssc/depts.asp?CID=0&mscssid=4P0JMT01D7KR8L25SGDVAK09P1KECUS9&BrowseList=380]http://www.jefferspet.com/ssc/depts.asp?CID=0&mscssid=4P0JMT01D7KR8L25SGDVAK09P1KECUS9&BrowseList=380[/link]   I hope this helped and good luck on finding something to help your dog. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
