I found a tick on my bed yesterday so I gave my dog Frontline, at night I checked his skin for any signs of ticks & he didn’t have any. This morning I find another tick on the floor close to where he sleeps. I thought all the ticks were supposed to die after Frontline? [...]

because i have no idea what kind of tick it is, it is completly black, round smooth shell. I found 6-7 of them on him in different sizes, some considerably larger than others. When i crushed the bugs they didnt appear to have red bood in them but black stuff.

She has been dipped twice, has Frontline and now a special tick collar that you can only get through the vet. I have treated my house and my yard with Sevendust and various other products but she continues to be super infested. I don’t even live near a creek or the woods or anything just [...]

My indoor/outdoor black lab came in yesterday with her face just covered in tiny blue ticks. I spent about 2 hours picking them off of her, and still didn’t get them all. I had my yard sprayed for ticks and fleas at the beginning of summer, but these are different and smaller than the brown [...]

As I said, my dog has been getting a lot of ticks lately. When I went upstairs to put her in the pen for the night, she was sitting on the bathroom floor and began shaking. She couldn’t stop. My dog is also usually very mean and will growl at me if I come within [...]

Ever since i got my pomeranian i haven’t noticed one tick on him, but last night i saw that there where these tiny ticks on him, the vet said that he is too young for any chemicals, and the vet is not being very helpful, its like he doesnt care. I don’t want anything to [...]

I do not want to use a tick collar and have tried several different shampoos with no real results. Does anyone out there have a good remedy or advice. I am on a big property and the dog is out all day so the option of keeping her in an enclosed treated area is not [...]

I have my dogs on Frontline, but they still keep bringing them into the house. I found one on my back this morning….NOT COOL! Someone told me to put a tick collar on them, tighter than their regular collar along with the Frontline. Any suggestions? P.S. ~ we have sprayed the yard and the baseboards [...]

We live on a ranch in SD – the only thing I hate about it is the unbelievable amount of dog ticks every spring and summer. GROSS! I can remove a tick a minute (or faster!) from our animals but I’ll never get used to them. We do use a rub-on gel (Advantix I think?) [...]

It was flat, but the body was rounded, six legs and two front pincers. Color was brown and it was very hard to kill. Had to use fingernail to cut it in half. It wasn’t a tick, I have taken those off my dog. I don’t believe bed bugs have pincers. Any ideas?

How do you get a tick of a dog??? My dog has one.. We are trying some other things like dawny soap.. Thanks for your advice… You will get 10 extra points if I get the tick off by your idea!!! Thanks!

I have since given him a Frontline Plus application but am worried I might get a tick now. We’ve never had a tick problem before! What can I spray in yard that is safe to pets and animals but keeps ticks at bay? And where do I spray it? Every inch of grass? The bushes? [...]

are dog ticks dangerous for dogs?

November 18th, 2010

Yesterday I went on a walk with my dog and today I noticed he has a tick (in a very delicate spot). I already sprayed it with the spray. What should I do? do they carry any diseases (I bet they do, but what are they (symptoms)? should I see the vet now, even if [...]
