How do dogs get ticks and what are the best ways to prevent them?

To prevent ticks, it's important to regularly check your dog for ticks, use tick prevention products recommended by your veterinarian, and keep your dog's living environment clean and well-maintained.
Can you get poisoned from frontline plus for cats?
Frontline plus is very safe for both dogs and cats. Cats need about 20 times the recommended dose to have any sort of toxic affect. It should not be toxic to humans either, as the mechanism of fipronil and (S)-methoprene (the active ingredients) are targeted at fleas. However, it would not be wise to ingest it or use it on a human.

How can you protect your pets from fleas and ticks?

Can you use derbac on dogs?
You could, but there is no reason to. Derback is used to kill head lice, and there is no evidence that dogs can carry lice. If you intend to use it on fleas or ticks, well good luck. It likely won't work. What will work is to rub your dog down with cut oranges, lemons, limes, or grapefruit. It seems fleas and ticks hate citris, and citris is relatively benign for use on dogs. DO NOT use this home remedy on cats however.

What are the differences between selamectin and sarolaner in terms of effectiveness and safety for treating fleas and ticks in cats?
Selamectin and sarolaner are both effective in treating fleas and ticks in cats, but they work in different ways. Selamectin is a topical medication that is applied to the skin, while sarolaner is an oral medication that is taken by mouth.

It is important to consult with a veterinarian to determine the best treatment option for your cat.
Will having your pet dipped keep fleas off the pet?
The fleas hate the smell so it should help for the most part. 2nd Answer: Flea Dips will only keep off the fleas for about 5-7 days at the most. You should use a monthly topical application such as Frontline or Advantix. You just apply it to the skin once a month and it will kill and repel all fleas & ticks. You need to reapply it once a month. You can find these products at the larger Pet Stores or Feed Stores or at your Veterinarian. These products work very well at killing and keeping off all ticks & fleas which in turn also help to keep your pet free from certain types of internal worms, such as tapeworms which are carried by fleas. Don't forget about preventing Heartworms too. You need to have your pet tested first by your Veterinarian to make sure it is free of heartworms before you start the once a month preventative.
Frontline for dogs?
What about it? Its a monthly topical medication that is placed in the middle of their shoulder blades to keep fleas, ticks and mosquitoes off. It helps prevent heartworms (transmitted by mosquitoes), Lyme disease (transmitted by ticks(usually deer ticks)) and anemia (by a lot of fleas biting and eating the blood). It works better then other topical that you get at wal-mart or using flea collars.
