    Ticks
    Hi everyone,
    I need some help regarding the ticks from my german shepherd pup. I got him sprayed for ticks just a month ago but he is getting an attack of ticks. Let me know how I can get rid of them from my dog ?

    You can use a flea and tick collar, or try frontline or other flea and tick products...

    A lot of flea products also prevent ticks... they usually die very quickly after landing on the dog.
    I use advantage flea and tick control. It works for 1 month at a time.

    If you do see a tick on your dog get a needle or pin and heat it up with a cigarette lighter until the end is very hot. Then stick the pin into the tick. 90% of the time this will make the tick back out of the dog and you can just pick it up.
    Never just pull a tick off as the head will still be attached to the dog and can cause infection.
