| Flea and Tick products Can you all give me some recommendations on which flea and tick prevention product to buy please? I'm sure this has probably been discussed elsewhere but my phone has a problem with searching this site and I have no computer. Anyway, I'm in the country and we have tons of ticks. I haven't seen any fleas so far but I imagine once it gets warmer there will be an abundance of them. Money is a concern. |

| Yes and you will need one for any heartworm medicine too.

| Why do you have to have a script if they are safe for the pet? We see the new vet next week so I'll see what they say first. Oh, I guess they want to make sure your dog doesn't have heartworm first? But it seems the criteria would be the same for commercially readily available meds also. |

| Nice graphic. Just kidding. That makes total sense. But then the otc meds could do the same I'd guess. |

| There are no otc heart worm meds so it’s not an issue.
