K9 Advantix.
I have been using it on my 5 year old Springer since day #1.
How well does advantix work on ticks? Here in florida my dog gets covered in them and I worry about disease.

I heard ticks weren't too bad in NH this past fall compared with the past few years? Is that true?

RE: Flea & Tick
ok, this might sound a little hippie but we give our dogs left overs ( I personaly believe dogs live such a tragicly short life that a little people food is not gonna kill them, moderation being the key of course) with lots of garlic in it and we have never had fleas, I run a kennel and have never had a problem with them also we don't really have horrible ticks in this area so I guess we are pretty lucky...

RE: Flea & Tick
I've read a few horror stories on the internetabout K-9advantix side effects,causing damage to dogs. Has anyone here actually had any problems. I've been using it on my griff for months now, I wonder if going back to frontline would be better, since he doesn't come into contact with any ticks.
