Hi team, may I know what are the best ways to avoid ticks ? Can you suggest tablet for my dog who is 7 months old cocker spaniel ?.
I usually spend time to check his entire body for any visible ticks but with his amount of fur , its getting very difficult to remove them. Though I thorougly checked, there could be flea or ticks.
I spray natural anti tick sprays before going for walks
Can I spray fipronil every two weeks ? I heard it can cause hairfall. So wondering if there is any tablet that I can give him.
Kindly suggest

Hi madhu, it is very difficult to monitor tick infestation in heavy hair coat breeds. Have you noticed ticks on his body recently?

You will have to clean the breeding spots of ticks that is wooden furniture, cracks on walls etc using anti tick spray
