Ticks

[Bigron321]

How do those with a high tick burden deal with them on dogs?

After a recent trip to some ground in south lakes, I’ve pulled 15 off my dog and the boss is not happy at all.

And yes, he’s treated with bravecto!

I use a cattle/sheep fly control which lasts for at least ten plus weeks and is very, very good value for money - look for Delta Mole, Swish or Dysect

Tried bravecto and it’s poor. Now got a saresto collar and all good. It works

Be wary of Bravecto - there is growing evidence of a link
with epilepsy

 

[Scandially]

Poison, all of them. Twice daily finger check then some more
God bless Mr Tick o' Tom..

Please tell me more about this collar
Does the dog wear it permanently or for each field trip?

I use nexgard or nexgard spectra. Youl get ticks crawling on the dog but never attached.. think that's as good as it gets..
Had about 15 the other day as I went into a known tick area but after her usual daily wash ,I gave her a comb and that was it

The Sarasto collar is a permanent fixture which is worn all the time by the dog and last approx 8-9 months

Very efficient and it works. My spaniel was a tick magnet and I used to get four or five of him weekly. Now none at all.

+1. Not a thing on the dog for a month.

They are dead. Nothing stops ticks attaching, ther is no repellent. (unless coated in axle grease)
