TICK CONTROL FOR PUPPY

[dougell]

This weekend I'm picking up an 8 week old GSP for my 12 year old.My kid lives in the woods and I have little doubt that this pup will be his constant sidekick.We live in a pretty tick infested area and I know nothing about lymes and tick prevention for dogs.How soon can they get a lymes shot and is there any tick prevention suitable for a pup that young?

Can you reach out to your local vet about this? Pretty sure a good vet could answer correctly. Have fun with the new pup.

I dilute this product to 0.50% (one half of 1%) which is a 20\1 ratio, and I spray it on all of my hunting clothing and let it dry. I do this at the beginning of every hunting season and I have never had a tick on me. I also spray my cart with it because the product makes a lot, and it's cheap. They say it's safe for dogs and farm animals. I have no experience with that. www.revivalanimal.com/product/permectrin-10?utm_source=adwords_c&utm_medium=g&utm_term=&utm_campaign=PLA&gclid=EAIaIQobChMImdOc0d_81gIVCR6GCh002gu8EAQYBSABEgKp-fD_BwE

I do the same Dave.I spray my horses down but wasn't sure about a dog because they're always licking themselves.

Ask your Vet about Bravecto, seems like an easy setup and kills fleas and ticks.
