We went to the vet's office Wednesday. She said I should worry about ticks for only 2 reasons: if Zoë is in or near by a heavily wooded area or if our house is somehow a tick zone. Well I have some grass, trees, and the tiniest bit of man made woods between houses but nothing I think that would qualify as woods.

The vet didn't give me very convincing info on anything really. I'm assuming that I shouldn't be concerned about ticks so I'm thinking I can use a product that works against ticks but it's not necessary.

So back to the drawing board, as the vet basically said use whatever works. Ugh, I'm not liking this vet. (Between her less than stellar input on what I should and shouldn't use for this AND the whole "there's no such thing as an all life stages food" she doesn't exactly instill confidence when we see her....) In fact Zoë's last booster shot(s) are scheduled this week with another vet in the practice...

Anyway, if I'm not necessarily concerned about ticks and I could use whatever I wanted (as the vet said Advantage, Advantix, Frontline, and Comfortis are all good options) is there a "best" or "better" option?
