I do believe there are a few places where it's not necessary during winter but it's very very few.
I am like you for sure! Mandie doesn't even get flea stuff. Shelby does (his pill includes it with the heartworm med). What he takes (in my opinion) protects our yard - including Mandie. Never saw a flea on her last summer or so far this year.

First flea I see on her - I will reconsider this plan of attack....
