You're lucky fleas/ticks aren't a big issue where you are! They are CRAZY here in the summer. Ticks are so gross. Jackson got Lyme disease from all the nasty ticks he got on him in the beginning of the summer and I just wouldn't wanna go thru all that again. If it hadn't of been treated or caught early, tick diseases can be deadly! We get quite a few mosqitoes around here as well and I like that the Advantix repels them too. |
Prince uses Revolution for heartworm preventative, and it is topical.
(I know this post is about fleas and ticks, but I wanted to respond to this statement.)
