There used to be guys at the feed store buying it like that and spraying the foundations of the building on the farm/house...

I have never quite figured why you can't just take a large dog Bravecto tab, cut it in half and use the rest in 3 months for a smaller dog. The mg/kg dose works out fine.

“I'm sticking to my Nexgard; it also kills the lonestar tick. MUCH cheaper than Simparica.”

Get a bottle of 'Ultra Shield' from TSC or something else with permethrin and keep the tics at bay...

Double check with your vet....I seem to remember (from when I worked in the feed store) that they were not safe for dogs or cats.

Spent the evening in emerg last night( all walk in clinics closed??). My husband had 4 embedded ticks - and I mean embedded. I could not remove them. 2 were on his face! The Dr said he was wise to come in - they were deer ticks . He got the appropriate antibiotics. Interesting place emerg. It was like PD Live in there last night.
