Two Shih Tzu Puppies :) (tick problem)

Hi i have recently joined the site to see if i could get some advice on how to prevent my two puppies picking up ticks. They have had about 8 on them between them within the last two days and i was just woundering if there was anything i could put on them to try and discourage the ticks?

I use Frontline but am not sure how old your pups are and if it is suitable for puppies?

i use the frontline spray.. i think it`s suitable for really tiny puppies .. at a few weeks/days old.. it`s only available from your vet so they`ll advise you. It doesn`t stop the ticks attaching but they shrivel up and die really quickly.

Hi

Any idea where they are picking them up from? You say they are puppies, how old are they?
