Tick and Flea Guard

Camping in Michigan we get a lot of tick's. Anyone use the internal pill type?
I use oil type that gets put on skin. My dog still get's tick's with them. I do hit him with a little Off if we are going in the deep woods.

Thanks
  • We use Front Line and pills which I forget the name of. This is a bad season for ticks here in Oregon. We hike often with the dog off leash so she gets em even with all our precautions
  • I use Nextgard, a once-a-month chewable. Dog thinks it's a treat. It doesn't prevent ticks from attaching themselves (I don't think anything will) but they die quickly. I still check the dog regularly and pull off (dead) ticks.
