We have used a lot different types of Flea control for out two dogs. It is interesting that we have our biggest problem with fleas in the Fall. Not so much ticks, but the fleas are thick . The one thing that works in our area is Advantix for Dogs. I have been doing a lot of research on the internet and there is a lot of information available. There are a lot of sales going on right now and some even offer free shipping. Now that’s a good deal!
