Tick and Flea Prevention for Dogs - 04/07/20 09:56 PM
So, we'll be checking again with our vet, but wanted to get some input from our dog owning Boomies.
I'm on the fence about what type of preventive to use for fleas and ticks for our new pup on a regular basis. We get a pretty good tick population in the spring, so she's already been inoculated for tick borne diseases, but would like to keep them off her as well. Mainly so she doesn't bring them in the house.
We did initially get a Credelio tab from our vet, and she handled it no prob. The first dose was on the house, but when I checked prices on line, holy cow, that stuff is costly.
I'm not sure I want to go the external application approach because I've heard some nasty things about what's in those (basically insecticides).
We also gave a natural solution a try, the EasyDefense Flea and Tick collar that's molded with Geraniol, Peppermint Oil and Thyme Oil. Aside from smelling really good, not sure it's very effective considering she brought a tick in with her yesterday.
So, any positive experiences on particular products from the Boomie gallery?
Thanks!
