The wife just came in from a walk with the dog in the woods behind our house.
Dog flops on the floor.

His leg has all these brown dots.
In a matter of two minutes I picked 15 ticks off of the dog....ARRGH
I HATE TICKS.

we use the stuff that kills em but that doesn't stop em from climbing aboard.

now I have to go check the wife
nothing like a good excuse for a thorough inspection

 

Have fun with that Jerry

Hmm, tick remover... I might have to add another use to my man list

 

Jerry,

Ziggy and I are ALWAYS in the deep woods for training and other stuff. And we live in a wooded area known for ticks. I have tried all the expensive stuff and got turned on to bio-spot by another handler. I absolutley swear by it and I think I found only one tick on Zig all last season. It is dirt cheap too!

This is the cheapest place I found to get it:

6 mos supply for large dog: $13.56

I couldn't believe it either until I tried it out.

 

Shave them both?

 

wow that's tons cheaper than frontline plus which we use.
it's looks like the same active ingredient.

I haven't been finding as many attached, but it's just that they are on the dog and getting carried into the house.

I may double up on how much we use. even at large dog dose, he's a huge.

 

two words jeff.
razor stubble

 

That's for cr@bs, Jeff, doesn't work as well for ticks...
