I know there are a lot of dog owners on this forum, so thought i'd spread the word. |

I know Kizzy, i've had dogs all my life and it's never been as scary as it is right now, keeping dogs flead with a tick and flea product will protect them, however, i only flea my dogs March through to October as i've never had my dogs suffer a flea issue in the cold months, but it seems that now i'll have to flea them all year round
And you can bet your bottom dollar that a new treatment will come out targeted at these ticks that will prove to be expensive....the new and improved tick killer...... Last edited by rubymoo; 16-03-2016 at 10:34 AM. |

Thanks for that Rubymoo. It looks like this is something that will inevitably spread and so its good to understand the symptoms.

You know half of me thinks it's just a gimmick to get you to buy more products too, but do you dare take the risk not to? :/
