I live out in the woods so my pups get these once a month pills from their doctor. No ticks no fleas no worms..... no problem.

Don't use bleach...you can blind the dog...plus it's too harsh on the skin...

Get some OTC flea and tick spray, powder....


Geeez....bleach....

Concentration matters. Health Dept requires cleaning with bleach, for food service. Hands are in bleach water constantly. Over concentrating can cause skin problems. 4 years in food service and never had cold or flu.


Avoiding eyes is no different than with other chemical sprays or dips.

We used the flea and tick collars around our legs at army summer camp. Never had a problem with either critter. Used them on dogs and cats ever since then.

Permethrin is your best bet unless you have cats. Then get rid of your cat and use permethrin. Hands down best tick killer and preventative you can buy. $20 bottle should last you a few years.

Yep... We use the Simparica Trio. Kills ticks, fleas and protects against heartworm. It's the best anti tick/flea medicine I've ever used for Corgis.
