What is the best way to keep fleas and ticks off my dog2007-11-25 2:52:04

I also suggest that you use a heartworm prevention for your pet. This is more important that controlling fleas and ticks. I have for years used a product called Nuheart (www.nuheart.com) which I have found to be excellent.

I hope this helps.

Hi! With my dog, I put these droplets (in between her shouder blades, on the skin) every month in the summer, called 'Bob Martins Flea Control' that controls fleas, ticks etc. If works like a wonder, it's painless and effective for 4 weeks. We also shampoo her every month with flea shampoo. You shouldn't use it every time you shampoo your dog though, we've been told, just every other time. Some people also use tick/flea collars, on top. These are the only methods I've heard of, but the capsules (drops) seem to be working great! Hope I helped! xx

The best way to keep fleas off your dog is to avoid places where they exist in the first place.Remove standing water from your yard. Keep your dog away from dead wild animals, especially birds, racoons, squirrels, and rabbits. Also keep him away from tall grasses and excessively woody areas that are shady and damp. Launder his bedding at least weekly and also bathe him weekly as well during summer months with an citrus based dog shampoo as they kill fleas on contact. Absolutely no need for heatworm preventers in tabs or in tubes to be squeezed on a monthly basis because you are depositing poison into the dog's blood stream unnecessarily.
