getting rid of fleas and ticks what to use?

[sandy simpson]

Hi Everyone!
It is that time of year to start thinking about flea and tick meds for our dogs. I hate to use anything. Last year I used Revolution. What does everyone recommend to kill these awful fleas and ticks?

Geranium rose oil. A few drops on the underside of their collar.

I use Advantix and have never had any problems.

you can also sprinkle a little bit of brewer's yeast in their food.

I'm using Revolution, mainly because they make a version recommended for small puppies.

I also use Advantix and have never had a problem with fleas but mine aren't outside unless we go for a walk.

I use revolution, but also spray a diluted version of Avon bath oil on my large dogs, cats, and horse. I use revolution because also takes care of heartworm

I use K9 Advantix as needed. I typically will apply twice during the summer and it seems to do it's job. Haven't seen as many ticks as we used to. Never seen a flea.
