You can manually remove the ticks using a tick spoon or similar tool. All Frontline products are safe to use on pregnant and nursing dogs. Use the topical once a month. Apply as directed. If Rewa has been bathed recently, wait 2-3 days before application. Perform a "tick check" on her each time she comes indoors.
