what do you use for flea & tick protection? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

From what I've been seeing it does not look like ticks are really a big problem in Southern Michigan. Do you know if there's any reliable way to confirm this? I'd rather not give her anything she doesn't need.

I don't use anything for ticks, and haven't ever seen one. We live in Lansing, so not too far from you. I use Comfortis if I see a flea

I also do not use anything for ticks, and never had a problem.

I use Frontline Plus and Iverheart Plus, but am considering switching as my epileptic dog can't use the Iverheart Plus and it's just more cost effective to have all dogs on the same meds.

For Frontline Plus you can buy the one for extra large dogs and measure it out to the weight of your dog-much more cost effective-ask you vet about dosage per weight Frontline Plus is the only med I know you can do this for safely as the ingredients are the same just the dosage amount is different.
