I am not so worried about ticks as Alfie is more of an indoor Yorkie and when we start bringing him out... there isnt much grass as we live in the city..
but the vet mentioned something (I can't remember what exactly...) but dogs being treated for something because of mosquito bites...
I take from your post... Heartworm I will need, but the Flea, tick, and mosquito is more optional and the least used, the better? Is that correct? If that is the case I think I would go with Advantage alone (less is better) and a heartworm preventative...
This is all so new to me... I want to make the best choice

If you HAVE to have something for mosquitos or ticks, you could go with K9 Advantix but if you can get away with just treating for fleas, I'd go with regular Advantage (if you have to use anything at all). You can also use Frontline for just fleas and it may repel some ticks.
I like Interceptor, Sentinel and sometimes Heartgard for heartworms. |
