Jun 3, 2014 · Hi, Our dogs have always been on Revolution for their Flea/Tick/Heartworm prevention. Recently our dogs have been getting multiple ticks that aren't being prevented or killed by Revolution. (Just pulled one off last night, 14 days into this month's revolution coverage after about 18 months of...

Nov 16, 2009 · I thought at first it might be a tick, but since I've never had a tick on my dogs,I looked online, and all those seem to have a head or legs or something, this doesn't. It doesn't seem to be irritating her, only when i went to pull on it since I thought it might be a tick, but it was firmly attached to the skin.

Jul 17, 2013 · It is true that flea and tick shampoos only kill live bugs and do not treat the life cycle. And yes it is dangerous to use flea shampoo in conjunction with topical drops or any other treatment.

And not all ticks carry disease, but there is more than one tick borne disease and they can be nasty if you get them. If it’s on the couch it’s not hurting anyone. 2. Do not smash squish, crush or splatter a tick! That can release the bacteria.

Jan 19, 2010 · So nothing natural out there that works, eh? Thanks for your reply, Pitts. I have Dr. Pitcairn's Natural Health book but it seems like with diatomaceous earth, essential oil mixes, homemade diet and manual tick and flea removal it would be a lot of work for me in addition to my mom duties, home educating, household and regular pet care duties.
