Not happy with vectra D

• Jewlieee Posted : 9/11/2012 8:50:10 AM  I can't speak to natural methods to repel fleas and ticks. I just use frontline plus and it works fine. As far as using in the winter, I live in MI and don't use flea/tick stuff in the winter. I stop around Nov and start up again in late March early april, depending on how the weather is going.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• RawFedDogs Posted : 9/11/2012 10:01:58 AM I never use any kind of flea chemicals unless I see a flea.  The last few years I've been using Comfortis and it seems to work great.  I gave Thor one pill so far this year the only time I've seen a flea.  Last year I think it took 2 pills over 2 months.  I live in west GA next to a swamp so there are no shortage of fleas or mosquitoes. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Jewlieee Posted : 9/11/2012 10:13:02 AM I take it you are not worried about tick transmitted illnesses or are your dogs not exposed to ticks much? Sounds rather unusual for GA. We encountered boatloads of ticks when we were down there romping around in the woods. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• RawFedDogs Posted : 9/11/2012 10:42:35 AM We romp around in the woods and down by the swamp almost daily.  I usually find 2 or 3 ticks a week on me but have only found 2 on Thor all year.  So no, I'm not too worried about ticks.  Tick borne diseases are not as common as one would believe by reading posts online.  At least not around here. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• griffinej5 Posted : 9/11/2012 1:20:25 PM  I skip all the stuff for the winter. If it's not warm enough for enough days for them to be active, then I don't use it. I'm only slightly worried about chemicals really. It's a waste of money to use it when there is absolutely no need for it. I watch the weather daily, and I see what it will be like in the upcoming days. This year, I used Certifect for Luke, and it smells so bad, so we will go back to Frontline Plus. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
