Well its just about the season of the invasion. Wondering what the preferred flea and tick med is??? 32 pound britt just turning a year old. Hes a house dog so would rather avoid the super oily drips... Ideas?

i use ADAVANTIX K9 on toby my lab BUT i now went to tick shampoo and tick spray .
spray is 8 dollars and shampoo was 5 dollars.
i have river next to my home so its no problem to give toby bath.
i used tick spray last year and it worked well.
very cheap way to do it too.
advantix is getting expensive so i went to spraqy.
i got it at TRACTOR SUPPLY.

I have used Avon Skin-so-soft since the 90's. Use the scented kind. Shampoo and wash your dog using any type shampoo you prefer. Dry the dog off. Use a pump spray bottle (windex bottle) half SSS, half water, shake and spray. Spray on dog and rub it in hair and onto skin. Apply once a week making sure you mix before using. You may want to add more water.The fleas jump, the flies fly, and keeps the no-see-ums of the soft belly skin. It's great for using while fishing to keep the knats, black flies and mosquito's away,and you smell good too.

For 101 uses for skin-so-soft (80-90 or so pertains to dogs, cats, horses) check out the following:

Advantix ..... used it for 10+ years and have never seen a flea or a tick.

Been using Comfortis and Frontline plus for years. No flea issues, but still see a bunch of ticks on the dogs crawling around. I do not find ticks that have bitten in on the dogs. After having Lyme Disease myself, I watch for ticks really closely these days.

its sad ADVANTIX and others are getting so expensive.
i went to flea/tick sprays that are really cheap and it works fine.then i wash toby in river with flea/tick shampoo and it last 10 days.

tick sprays workas good as the advantix. i spray toby in woods before we hunt.

K9 Advantix for both dogs: flea & tick season is just about year 'round down here in FL.

BTW, I don't buy it or heartworm meds anywhere except online these days: much cheaper.
