| I saw this. I feel lucky since we moved 5 years ago because I haven’t seen any ticks on any of the pups. Our trees just line our 3 acres so we don’t have to many places for them to hide and live. I keep them up on their nexguard and check them well every night.

| Fleas and ticks can make pets life miserable. Fleas infestation have the frightening risk on your pet's life and also spread the disease. Additional to this, mosquitoes multiply rapidly in still water anytime the weather warms up. Bravecto, a palatable chewable tablet, which is introduced recently is effective in killing fleas and ticks. Bravecto stays effective for 3 months because of its long-lasting characteristic. Consulting pest control Roseville CA professionals may also be the option in order to deal with an infestation. My friend did the same. He has to shift his pet to my house during pest control was taking place. This would also ensure your pet's safety and will keep the nasty pets away from your home for a longer period. |

| Thanks for posting. It reminds me to stay vigilant. We were camping last year in Ohio and both Piccolo and I had a tick on us and didn't know for days. Luckily we did not get sick and the tick was not the type that spreads Lyme disease. I even brush Piccolo everyday but did not see it and obviously did not see it on me either. Yuck.
