I will be leaving the rattlesnakes in New Mexico the end of April for my dreaded ticks in my fields in southern Maine. Against my better judgement, I ...
Hi, Are any members around Lynchburg, VA or with in the vicinity. I am looking for a group to work with, happy to lay tracks and learn. I have a GSD that I...
I have had 3 tracklayers who committed to (Ohio) Dayton Dog Training Club's April 12 & 13th test, drop out for various reasons. This leaves us very short of...

... I'm also a TICKNUT, after almost losing my TDX Aussie to Erlichiosis between his T and X. I've used Frontline Plus since it came out, but I removed one...
Cheryl, I have used Equess Marigold spray with some mediocre results. The only thing that has been successful on tick prevention is an Amitraz collar. They...
I've heard good things about AdvanTix, which takes care of ticks, but not fleas. My girl is now pregnant (I hope), so I won't be puttting any chemical warfare...
One note of caution about Frontline, I believe it takes 24 hours to kill the ticks. In people at least, it takes 2-3 hours of attachment for the tick to...
I have used biospot for years. Fortunately my dogs don't have a reaction but it has a very strong scent for a day or 2 and I think it must burn a bit at first...
K9 Advantix kills ticks, fleas and mosquitos, which carry west nile, a problem we have been having lately in the northeast. I switched to Advantix last year...
In addition to the dangers of TBI themselves (lymne, erlichea, RMSF), there is now evidence suggesting that erlichea may trigger lymphoma....the first Agility...
Garlic. I give my dogs a treat from Germany each day that helps prevent fleas/ticks during the season. The active ingredient is garlic. Here is a link that...

Interesting, Thanks. I will have to read the dog box more carefully because I don't remember seeing that but it's been awhile since I read it. I do use the...
To remove ticks, I had read that when you first soak them with mineral oil, this will facilitate them to loosen their mouth parts. Then you can more safely...
When I used Frontline I would find huge engorged ticks on my dogs that were still alive. It takes several days for the ticks to get this engorged. Once I...
Bev, This is really good information. Speaking as someone pretty new to the list, thanks for reposting. Could I just add that the new snap tests screens for...
What about using a flea comb or the Furminator after being in the field. Seems like the small teeth would catch the varmints before they attach. ... -- Maryln...
They are manufactured by Idexx Labs and I'd guess they're referred to as "snap tests" because you get the results in a snap. Here's a link to the idexx labs...
