Donating YT 7000 Club Member | Tick prevention? Where we used to live, we didn't have a tick problem at ALL. I don't think we ever had to pull a tick off the dogs. But around here, its rediculous. I was outside with Tucker, right in the backyard, and when he sat up there were TWO ticks on him. It freaks me out, and its just disgusting/nasty/has the potential to be dangerous. Almost every time he goes outside he comes in with a tick. We aren't the kind of people who keep our dogs inside all the time, we love taking him outside in the woods, in the backyard, and on walks. But the ticks are driving me insane. We can have him outside for like 5 minutes and he'll have a tick. Does anyone know of any tick preventions that can help? Thanks so much!

| I live in South Florida and we have had a big problem with ticks this year. My mom bought a tick collar for her dog called previntic (sp?) from her vet and has used it on her dog. After she started using it she didn't find anymore ticks.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | wow, where the heck are you in jersey that your having a tick problem now??? I use frontline on Morgan in the spring, summer, and fall. it doesn't prevent the tick from attaching but it kills them once they do. Revolution is another one but its not so great with the ticks. Do not put a flea collar on a yorkie. They are just too small and the chemicals are too strong. Plus if you touch the collar it gets on you and it can get on the furniture. And it smells.
