I am using frontline and have had no problems with ticks all summer. The ones I found on the dogs were never attached and often times were dead. In the last 2 weeks with all the little ticks that have come out my dogs have been covered in them . Any suggestions to keep them off the dogs or atleast not attached. The pups do stay in the house so it has to be something that wont hurt the kids. I was thinking about spraying off on the dogs but wasn't sure if this would hurt them have any of you ever tried that or something like it?

i tried another brand of tick medicine other than frontline and pet armor plus and i will never make that mistake again. dogs were covered after running in an area that is really bad for ticks. i had some of this in the barn and started spraying the dogs down with it before running.. http://www.absorbine.com/products/flyco ... ield-green .. i think it helps .. but it might be in my head.. i keep a soft brush in my truck spray this on and brush it in.it hasnt seemed to hurt my dogs running ability but it does smell.

I use a product called Cedarcide-Best yet it is all natural and I spray the dogs before i let them loose and when I finish. I have been using it for 5 yrs now and have not had a tick on the dogs or myself yet. cedarcide.com.You can spray dogs,kids,kennel without harm. Al
