    Tick season is upon us

    Make sure your dog is protected. The ticks have been out for awhile now,,,,some areas worse than others.

    I use Bravecto and it's been doing a good job on Sako for the last couple of years. What do you use for a tick med? I also get the vet to give Sako an annual Lyme Disease vaccination each year. Not taking any chances!

    use Bravecto as well on the recommendation of my breeder who is also a Veterinarian. Very please with the results so far in comparison to my last dog "used a different product then" and I had to remove tics on occasion.

    Not checking for ticks on yourself or your pooch after an outing, regardless of what you are using, is asinine.

    We have to use nexguard on our dogs but we've never had to pull ticks off them yet thankfully! My dad had to pull a tick off one of his dogs on 2 separate occasions this year already even with the revolution tick stuff they use

    Have been using Bravecto for a number of years on our Tollers.
    Recommended by our Vet and our Daughter ( she works @ a Biotech and has access to a lot of test info ) did a pretty good review of the data, efficacy, possible side effects and such and decided to use it on their elderly Lab.
    So far, so good.

    Bravecto here as well, but .... and this is just my opinion .... the lepto shot is more important than the lyme vaccine if the dog is already on a tick protection medication.

    You guys are tempting me to switch to Bravecto. It looks like it comes in a chewable tablet or the usual vial. What one are you guys using?
