The local agrivet shops sell small sachets of ********** in powder form. It is used in horses for worms and other parasites. We have given it to our dogs to get rid of ticks. It also does a good job getting ride of mites which cause a mangy type loss hair. The cost was low somewhere around 20 pesos per sachet. We gave one sachet to each dog (10 kg dog).

 

A quick Google search shows a number of ways to give this to the dogs...are you injecting it or giving it to them orally? Much cheaper if it does the same as what the wife has talked to the vet about.

I gave the ********** to them orally with their food as it came in powdered form. If you are in Bacong you will find the Agrivet place on the street beside the park with the concrete fish,

 

Hello can you tell me how often you have to give the ********** to your dogs? Thanks in advance

 

Thanks...we will look for it today here in Tanjay.

Shawn - We have always used Frontline spot treatment on our two large mutts. Not the cheapest option but seems to keep them tick and flea free. Involves a once a month application of a small vial of the liquid between shoulder blades once a month. Size of vial dependent upon weight of dog! Cheers - Barry

 

Barry...we used that before when it was just Chili and Pepper, with all the pups now the vet recommended injections. We had no problem with ticks until we adopted the 2 local dogs so hopefully things clear up pretty soon.

@ShawnM -

Wish you luck mate - with all those pups it must be a full-time job lol! How often do they need to have the shots to remain protected?

Cheers - Barry

 

Where do you get Frontline in the Philippines? Thanks
