Ticks

Dale,
they sell it at Crackerbarrel. Cost more than local, but the same thing.

Last year was my first in KY and we had a tough year with parasites........

Had 3 kids in the hospital with turkey mite bites all over them.........

Tried every type of flea/tic deterant I could ...........

Ended up using Frontline on all the dogs, but I'm not sure I'm sold on it......it appears the ticks get under the skin and die and cause infected scabs that are tough to get healed up.

I was using the Frontline every two weeks, seven dust before/after each run, Ivomec H.W. preventative, cedar bedding with seven dust, and giving a happy jack bath when all that wasnt working......

I take pride in having healthy parasite free, well maintained dogs, and last year had me pulling my hair out......I come to the conclusion that if you run dogs 4-5 times a week, your going to have to pull ticks. Does anyone believe they have a fool proof method that eliminates ticks?

I'm from Michigan and seven dust/cedar chip bedding is all I ever needed to keep the flea's away......Ticks are awful...

I give my dogs garlic pills through the summer months and dip them in happy jack once a month. Sounds like its time to start again. I havent seen any yet in ohio but its just a matter of time
