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......
