I've been seeing articles here and there stating that ticks are supposed to be bad this year.  Here, in the midwest, anyway.

I know this subject has been beat to death. But I have been giving my dogs Nextgard & Heartgard with no problems. Now suddenly one of mine is showing signs that he isn't doing well on this regime. So I am now on the hunt again for something that is safe, and works for him!  Sorry to keep bringing this up!  I will keep my girl on what she is on because she seems to be doing fine. Just my boy seems to be sensitve to a lot of things. Any thoughts or suggestions would really be appreciated. Thanks


 

@Lovemyboots  Have you been giving them the meds on separate days?  This is the way it should be done.

Google Bravecto before you start using it.  Many dogs have died from this.
I actually have been doing a lot of searches on flea products that need a script to get. Not pleased with what I have found. I know when my boy is having problems with something I have given him. That is why I asked about "safe" ones. Maybe I should have put "Natural ones that work." I use the one from the vet for my girl & she does ok but like I said my boy. no. Vet changed him to others but after awhile we are right back to them bothering him. I guess I was hoping someone might know of or has used something more natural that works. I hate to see him miserable after taking these flea meds.
@Lovemyboots  I use Frontline Plus on my two little terriers applied once a month to their shoulder area.
