Tomorrow I'm going on a picnic and a little hiking trip with mum and dad and our poochie. What's the best flea/ticks/mosquito preventive? I was thinking about purchasing Front line and Advantage but I'm not sure if we can find it here. Also would it be good to put vaseline on her paws to protect them? Do you have any recommendations? Also advise would be greatly appreciated.

Great question! For fleas, ticks, and mosquito repellency, K9 Advantix would probably be your best bet. You can certainly use a small amount of Vaseline or Bag Balm on her paw pads to help protect them from drying out, if you wish.
