where is the most likely place that your dog can pick up ticks, is i walking in the woods or over braken .?

either,but bracken especially i find!!! on my walks at the moment i will stop acouple of times & can see the tics crawling on their coats so i get them off then,hopefully before they get a hold!!!

Anywhere where deer or game are........................

Or sheep .......................

My pup picked two up in my garden, tiny little things they were, found one crawling around in his fur and the other had already taken hold above his eye :(  I dont get any deer in my garden but they do get in the field out the back, I think he probably picked these up off a hedgehog or something.

Yes, hedgehogs are usually infested too.

Strange though that the pup picked them up and I have never found one on the cats and they are always out hunting amongst the Wheat in the back field and through the forest which is half my back garden :rolleyes: - maybe their frontline drops really do work against ticks :D :D

i think the tics on exmoor are developing into a superstrain that are immune to front line!!!

who has had a tic on them??? iv had two! urrghh!!!
