New pup due to arrive in 5 weeks... ticks are as thick as ever in Northeast PA.
I'm a little concerned about the proper anti-tick treatment to use on a puppy given some of the reported reactions to most of the effective products. Any advice?
Thanks!

Re: Puppies and Ticks
I'm not a vet and not recommending anything , but for me I'd rather use a product, than have my dog bitten by mosquitoes( possible heartworm ) or ticks ( possible lyme disease). I assume you trust your vet, so go with what the vet suggests.
Personally I would use :

PS Deworming is of course essential as worms can take a pup down fast.

Chewy.com might be a little cheaper, plus it's a two day delivery with no shipping charges if order is over $49.00.

Re: Puppies and Ticks
I buy frontline plus at costco in the XL dog size 88-132lbs size. I put cotents of one package in test tube with stopper os a cap and measure out what the dog needs based on the dogs weight. My Britts are 32 and 30 lbs so i get three doses out of one XL container. This brings down cost and you can give what pup needs based on weight of pup. Used seringe that comes with 5 way or 7 way shots, discard neddle but use seringe.
