      My dachshund has been on frontline since he was a puppy. He will be 18 years old in January and has never had any issue with fleas or ticks and has never had any adverse reactions or anything to it.

      Bravecto once every three months. Works great!

      Y’all be very careful with these prescription flea meds. My baby was on Simperica Trio. I gave it to him the last time and the next he was falling over, had a drunken stagger, clearly neurologically impaired. My vet refused to acknowledge the flea medicine and said it was a pinched nerve in his neck. That wouldn’t explain his inability to balance, twitching and falling over when urinating. Luckily I was able to rehab him and he’s fine now.

      Seresto collar, they’re very good. I’ve never had a problem since I started using them years ago.

      I give my fur baby 1 clove of crushed fresh garlic and it was recommended by her vet ( just mix it into their food )

      I use Nexgard on my Dogs. All sizes,from Dachshund up to a 200 lb Mastiff/ St Bernard. Nobody has had a bad reaction to it.

      Furlife collars. They are like $40 and last 8 months for flea and tick. They are made with essential oils so it won’t hurt you to touch them and they aren’t filled with chemicals for your baby. I have them on all four of my dogs and love them.

      Has anyone ever put agricultural lime on their yard? I do this every 3 months right before it rains. I have done this for years and have never had ticks or fleas. I live very close to a wooded area and have deer close to my fence line too. Never once have I given my dogs meds. I have 5 dachshunds 1 corgi, 2 boxers and a Siberian Husky. Some don’t like to do this because it makes your grass grow but I love it.
