And they aren't just crawling on him either. I just bought a flea and tick collar and that does nothing! Revolution I use to prevent heart worm is supposed to work on ticks as well. All this stuff is expensive and I can't keep switching around all the time. This is so frustrating to me and I don't know what else to try anymore. Everybody tells me, how bad ticks are this season. What's your experience and what works best for you? We live on a lake and Walker is always in the weeds or the swamp and just the biggest tick-magnet!
Thanks for your input
Wow!!! thats a lot of ticks!!! hmmmm... we live in california so i havent dealt with alot of ticks except for one time when we went hiking. I found a few ticks on them when i got home

So I got this flea and tick spray from Adams and I was told to spray it underneath the dogs on their belly every time we go hiking. They said that will prevent the ticks from jumping on them. Now i dont know if it will for Walker because it sounds like theres a lot of ticks in your area, but i hope this helps a little.

Good Luck!!!


Oops!!! i forgot to add that the next we went hiking, no more ticks!!!
