Tick/ Flea overload

Hello everyone,

Well only a couple more days until we get Basil. But I have a question, well there is stray dogs around here, which are owned by irresponsible people,so they have who knows what health problems, including ticks and fleas!!!!! So I think I'm freaking out here, I dont want to harm Basil by the amount of medicine I'm using for the pests. Well a couple of weeks ago, I sprayed a lawn medicine on the yard which is supposed to be organic so it's harmless to pets. When we get Basil we are going to buy Frontline from the vet, I also sprinkled yard medicine about half a month ago which is also harmless,and to top it off, I bought a {good smelling...lol} puppy shampoo that protects your dogs from fleas and ticks too. I'm thinking of buying another bottle of stuff to spray, dont yall think I'm overloading on the medicine?

Ideas,help suggestions..please????!?!?!?!?

Thanks in advance,

Sheltie

The frontline alone should be good enough. too many pesticides can hurt your pup.

Ticks do not come from other dogs, they come from grass and trees.
