Tick prevention?
What is the best to use for tick prevention? Advantix? it's getting to be that season and living where we do there are so many ticks in this area. I just found one on my boob tonight :O and it had to have come off of one of the dogs.
We are picking up something for tick prevention this weekend. What would you recommend?

Ewww, boob tick!
We use Advantix, but we've still found nearly 10 ticks on Lucy so far this season, just from walks around the neighborhood. If there's something better, I'd love to hear it--when we mentioned it to the vet, they said Advantix was our best bet.

I use frontline plus. The only ticks I find anywhere near the dogs are dead ticks that never had a chance to bite.

in some areas frontline plus is best in others k9 advantix works best, if your finding lots of ticks while using advtantix, try switching to frontline plus and visa versa
try adding brewers yeast and garlic to food too! it helps.
