Nexguard seems the only thing that works, in a chew form. It's getting that you nearly have to kill the dog to get rid of fleas properly, it'sa big worry. Quote Link to post

Gilbey 1,434 Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Sometimes use a ivermectin 'spot on' on the ferrets. But I've never liked the idea of 'spot ons' for dogs or chews that stay in the system, just worm dogs. It's tick ground round here, but prefer to just look dogs over Quote Link to post

Fox dog 185 Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 5litres dip 100euros fill up something big enough for the dog to wash in and just enough to colour the water,if you get a chance to buy the 5litre do as it last ages,I no some vets are an absolute joke, ask a local farmer or a guy that you have permission on they might help ya out,wear some rain gear and a pair gloves it stinks, Quote Link to post

The only place I've heard with no fleas is where a mate lives in the upper Blue Mountains, he's never had to buy flea prevention. Years ago I had 12 big dogs but you could use spot on every 3 years and never see a flea but not now they're immune to it. 1 Quote Link to post
