Collars not as effective maybe?
Can't go wrong with Bravecto (3 month oral) or Nextguard (1 month oral). Getting a lyme disease vaccination is a good idea, as well, especially if you spend time in the interior where the ticks are much worse. I'm in the bush daily with my dog or in the grasslands/marsh bird hunting a couple of times per week and once the ice comes off the lakes I'm fly fishing 3 days a week up in the interior all spring and summer long,,,,she's five and has been on Bravecto since she was 6 months old and I haven't found a tick on her even once. She's never had fleas on her either. Just the same, she always get an annual Lyme disease vacc.
He's NOT your buddy, buddy!
