My puppy got ticks. How to prevent them safely before 4 months?

Question

I found 2 ticks on my dog's head today but I removed those. The vet said we can't use the spray on him till he's 4 months old. What should I do to prevent ticks ? And will they be back ? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 11 days old

Where there is one tick, there could be more. Any time you go outside with Max, he needs to be checked thoroughly for ticks. If he is over 7 weeks old, a Seresto flea and tick collar is safe, just make sure he can't chew on it! You can also purchase Frontline spray - spray a small amount on a towel and use the towel to wipe down Max.
