Blakloks 5 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 It's getting to that time of year when those horrible ticks start making an appearance what do you guys use to prevent them clinging onto your dogs? I've heard lavender oil works Quote Link to post

Hydropotesinermis 724 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I've just started using garlic capsules on mine. So hopefully that will work. The trouble with frontline is that the tick still digs in and THEN it kills it. I am hoping the garlic will stop them digging in in the first place. If not I will try the lavender... Thanks for the tip. Quote Link to post
