How to remove ticks from puppies? What are the best treatment options?

Question

I recently got 2 puppies from a family friend and noticed they had a small amount of ticks. I gave them a bath and managed to remove a good 6 off each pup after scavenging for an hour, are there any rememdies/vaccines/topical treatments I can try to help my puppies rid of them?

There are a few different options for effective treatment of ticks. The topical products are often the best and it's always best to get them from a veterinary clinic, because they will reccomend the best and safest products. You can also get certain products at the pet store. Frontline and Revolution both have products made for puppies and work well for killing ticks. I hope that helps and all is well with the pups.
