Well hi there, mimi!! Good to hear from you!!

I'm very sorry you have some ticks there... get some Frontline or something for your pets to keep the ticks at bay.

Have you posted in Seeking a Doctor lately for a list of LLMD's in SC??

Hi - looks like you made two posts on this. I asked on the other one what's the earliest age a puppy and kitten can have tick repellent on, if anyone knows?

My dogs get ticks even with Advantix on them.

Some alive.....but most dead.

You could possibly get doxy for the puppy.

When my dog got Lyme last summer, she got the same doxy as I did.

I believe that all flea/tick topicals can be applied at 6 weeks of age.

Check with your vet though.

Hugs,

Geneal
