| Do I need to use Flea & Tick for the winter season? I live in Michigan. I was wondering if I still need to apply the flea & tick ointment during the winter? |

| No I dont think they live in the winter time. But they would live in the house in the warmth if the pup already had them .If you dont see any , I wouldnt use it. |

| I used to wear flea collars on my dogs for years, so when I got Nelly I automatically bought her a flea collar. Luckily, she had a vet visit soon after we had her. After wearing them on my dogs for years, a vet doctor that I had not seen before told me to never wear them because they can make your dog sick. I was devasted, one of my other dogs has been having seizures since she was 4 years old, now I think that the flea collar may have done it to her. I am not a professional in dogs but I do know that I will never wear a flea collar ever again on any of my three dogs. The vet said only wear it if they are around squirrels holes when we are camping. |
