In past 4 weeks I have removed 3 ticks off Cody, I live in a heavily wooded area. He is just in my yard, I am using FrontLine. The last two weeks I have seen no ticks on him. They look like dog ticks from the on line charts. I check him several times darning the day andwhen yard play is finished for the day, so a tick is never in him for long, I also keep him in a puppy cut so ticks are easily felt, seen and easy to remove. Out of my now passed 4 yorkies, Cody is the only one that has had ticks. I try to keep my yard free of dead leaves as I have read ticks hide out in them. When I took off the ones he had this season I had quite a bit of leaves, since I cleaned them up he has been tick free, keeping fingers crossed, I HATE those nasty blood sucking things.I never had a dog come down with lymes, Rocky Mountain spotted fever is not in my area (The Poconos).
