I have a 4 month old GSD. My mom takes out the ticks that she finds on him. However is there anything that we can do to avoid having ticks on him in the first place? Please guide. Thank you in advance.

I’m unsure what products you have in the U.K., but some of my favorite products are Credelio, Nexgard, Bravecto or Simparica. These are all oral products that will prevent fleas as well as kill the ones on your dog. I hope that helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding dogs and ticks. I recommend using a topical veterinary flea and tick prevention such as Frontline Gold and Vectra 3D. These products will repel and kill fleas and ticks on contact. The oral chews such as Bravecto and Nexgard, require the dog to be bit by the tick to kill it. This allows the tick to spread diseases to the dog. I hope this information helps!

Our vet gave us Sentinel to give our puppy. I just found out it does not protect against ticks. What can I use? I don’t want to give additional medicine that would overlap? I will ask vet at next visit. Oh and he’s 4 months old.
