| Ticks don't go away when Summer ends! Choose the right tick protection for your dog. |
Even dogs who aren't active outdoor types are still at risk of being exposed to ticks. A short walk in the park, around the block or a quick potty break in the yard can put your dog at risk of getting a tick! Dogs still need tick and flea control. Choosing the right tick and flea protection for your dog is important.

I can hardly begin to describe how disgusting it is when you find a tick on your precious pooch. It sends a shiver down your spine! I found a tick on Icy a few months ago, and I was not only horrified but I felt guilty at having failed to protect her against this disgusting parasite. You can read more about poor Icy's tick incident here.

| Imagine how sickening it was to find this blood sucking tick on my sweet dog's neck! |
Ticks aren't just disgusting looking creatures, they carry diseases that can be harmful to your pet - and to you! Educate yourself on what kind of ticks are in your area and what diseases your dog could be exposed to on MyPet.com's WHAT'S THAT TICK? page on their web site.
Your dog doesn't have to be the super active outdoor type to be at risk for ticks and fleas. If your dog can get ticks and fleas right in your own yard or during a short walk, imagine how easy it is for ticks and fleas to latch on to a dog that swims, hikes, or walks through the woods or open fields!
All dogs need protection against ticks, no matter how much time they spend outdoors or how active they are. BRAVECTO® (Fluralaner) is a tasty chew that provides 12 week protection against ticks and fleas*
BRAVECTO is:
> Fast acting, starts killing fleas within 2 hours and kills 100% of fleas in 12 hours
> Easy and convenient to use. 1 tasty chew provides up to 12 weeks of flea and tick protection*
> FDA approved and only available by prescription. BRAVECTO is only approved for dogs 6 months and older since it's prescribed based on weight and puppies under 6 months grow so quickly their weights change too much over the 12 week treatment period.
*BRAVECTO kills fleas, prevents flea infestations, and kills ticks (black-legged tick, American dog tick, and brown dog tick) for 12 weeks. BRAVECTO also kills lone star ticks for 8 weeks.
After your dog has been outside, even if only for a short while, do a thorough check for ticks. Run your hands through your dog's fur backwards, spreading the fur so you can see all the way down to the skin. It's easier to see ticks on smooth coated dogs, but still run your hands along their entire body to feel for ticks. Pay particular attention to their ears and paws.
When I volunteered at the shelter, lots of dogs came in with ticks. The majority of the time the ticks were inside the dogs ears and on the bottom of their paws, mainly between their toes. Visit MyPet.com's web site for tips on Checking For and Removing Ticks.
Icy loves a good roll in the grass. Ticks and fleas love the grass as much as your dog does. Even a quick roll in the grass with your favorite stick can expose you to ticks and fleas!
