There are several products available out there that will keep the fleas and ticks off. Essentially, you put the liquid on the dog's skin and it works for a month. I have used one form or another of the stuff and it works rather well. Some of the brand names are Advantage, Advantix, Frontline, and Bio Spot are some of them. I have used Frontline and Bio Spot and they both seemed to work really well. Right now I am using Bio Spot because it is a little cheaper than the others and it seems to be just fine. Others on the board have had problems with Bio Spot, so you might want to wait and see what the rest of the gang posts about it.
