Best Posts in Thread: Pups and ticks

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...at 3 month intervals for dogs. I was wrong about the cost of the medicine (it was the first and last time I've misunderstood the wife) 250 peso was enough for all our dogs and pups.

It is a full time job with the number of pups...really thought these guys would have found new homes way before now; a bit curious on why but they are great dogs.

Not sure where the best place to post this so went this one. We have done a pretty good job checking the pups feet and ears for ticks...but not sure if the new pups we adopted added to the problem or not. All pups have been bathed frequently, to include the new guys. Also have a powder to get rid of ticks and fleas that all our pups and dogs have been treated with.

The ticks here are really small, we went through every dog and pup this afternoon and evening (with tweezers) and found quite a few ticks between their toes and their ears...a few more around their bodies (guess the soap and powder have a limited span). You really have to pay attention to see those little things.

Cherry says there is an injection for the pups to get rid of ticks, fleas and worms so that is my plan tomorrow...250 peso per dog/pup, but want them all to be healthy.

I spent my last few years of High School in the Midwest where deer ticks were common, used to have my GF check me after a day of fishing...ticks freak me out and the ones here are so small they are hard to first see. Check your dogs, toes and ears are the most attractive to these nasty little things.

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,

 

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).
