We were in Mansfield all day yesterday, so I'm pretty sure that's where it got on him. You should definitely check the kids good tonight. We were only about 1/4 mile from MCC at my wife's brothers house, so I'm checking the little guy every day since they spend so much time outside there. |

The deer ticks are so tiny that they're hard to find on a long-haired dog until they've become engorged--and by that time, if they're carrying Lyme, they've already infected the animal.
The whole idea of Frontline is that it kills them as soon as they start s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g blood---they remain attached. The good thing is that they don't drop off the dog and find their way onto you before they attach.

It's absorbed through the dog's skin into the bloodstream, and it kills the tick when they start drawing blood. A deer tick has to be attached for 12-24 hours before it can pass on the Lyme virus. If it was a repellent you'd have to put it all over the dog's coat. You just put the little dab in the packet on the back of the dog's neck where it can't lick it off.
It's actually a pesticide, not a repellent. |
