I don’t like them eating the chemicals either
. I think our vets have stopped using nexgard recently, maybe this is why
Yeah, our vet recommended them as well. They don't even repel ticks! The tick has to bite the dog in order for the Bravecto, etc. to even work. That means the dogs can still easily get diseases like anaplasmosis.I don’t like them eating the chemicals either
its what our vets prescribes and with one dog with a water phobia and another that needs washing frequently the spot-on ones don’t really work
That sounds pointless then
thankfully we only need it for fleas
Yeah, at least they showed me a list of other options that work on our tick population. I now use Provecta (generic K9 Advantix) along with the Lyme vaccine with great results. Thankfully we've never had a flea problem.That sounds pointless then
I used to do the lymes vaccines but they didn't work very well, and in some they prevented the lymes but not the anaplasmosis. I also saw some dogs be more painful during infections so I stopped the lymes vaccines all together. I was so hopeful they would be the answer.
My new vet told me the vaccine's gotten more effective over the years and is now around 90% effective, at least in our area. But, yes, nothing effectively prevents anaplasmosis as of right now. It's a bigger problem than Lyme in dogs here.
We haven't used any flea and tick stuff for our dogs because of the things we've heard about it, we do use Interceptor for heartworms though.
Our vet tries to get us to give them Credelio though but we refused.
