LadyByrd thanks for the response but my main question is it safe to use one of the spot treatments such as "bio spot, advantage, frontline, etc. on a pregnant german shorthair pointer bitch. I have to enter her in a hunt test this weekend to finish her champion title. The hunt test is in connecticut so I'm concerned with ticks. Currently, I have no problem with fleas or ticks, I'm in the preventative mode at this point. But thanks anyway.

Sincerely, Keith
