[NAGDU] Flee and tick control

[sblanjones11 at sbcglobal.net]

I usually give flea & tick meds starting in March or April, when the weather
starts to get warm, and continue until the first killing frost in the fall.
So, there may be 4 months a year that he won't get it.

Thanks for the info.  Yes, I notice that the oral meds are expensive
compared to the collar.  Where is the cheapest place to get this?  I checked
into Chewy.  Also, how long do you give it for?  I presume at least 6-9
months starting in spring.

Hi, Annette.


I use Bravecta.  It's a pill you give once every three months. My dog
thought it was a treat and had no issues with it.


Very recently the manufacturer introduced a monthly version that does 
the same thing.   It is significantly cheaper in the short term, about 
$25 a dose versus the nearly $80 every three months.


There are more alternatives that come in pill form, or you could try
something topical like Frontline.
