The adult deer tick population is up 52% from last year here due to the weather. |
I know it is crazy!! Jackson was on Frontline when he got it actually but it was at the end of his month so I am thinking it didn't last as long as it should maybe. So we use K9 Advantix in the hot months where ticks are out more.
The only reason we found out about the lymes is because he came up limping due to sore joints. But we re-tested again earlier this year and the lyme came up negative. So I am just trying to keep up with it. as I do not see one tick when he's on the advantix.
