My dog has pests on him and in my home. Why aren't treatments working?

Question

a lot of ticks are being attracted towards bruno. i see them crawling on the floors , walls and when bruno sleeps on bed i could see all the ticks coming towards him. i tried spot on , tick colllar , tick shampoo , tick powder , tick spray but all these works for a week. Am not able to make bruno sleep near me as ticks come out of nowhere on the bed when he is on the bed. why is everything not working? and what should i do to prevent it? Pet's info: Dog | Labradoodle | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 5 months old

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Ticks live in the grass and jump on animals/cloths, and then bite and stay attached. Fleas will live in bedding/baseboards and will jump on and bite animals and then jump off. If you get a product such as Frontline, Bravecto, Nexguard, Advantix, Advantage, Revolution, etc. that should deal with fleas. Some will deal with ticks, but some won't. I would check to see if you aren't actually dealing with bed-bugs. Try getting a picture of the creatures that are on Bruno, and are crawling towards him, and we can try to help you determine what they are and what to use. Best of luck with Bruno!
