This question is not about behavioral concerns, because I know it was accidentally. I gave the dog a piece of food that I lifted up in the air so he can jump for it, when he jumped, he had bitten me, because he doesn't know how to take gently food directly from humans. And because he is a husky...

Hello! So a few years back my house got infested with ticks, when I didn't even own a dog, because my two neighbors had dogs and didn't even care to take care of their tick problem. I've been terrified of owning a dog since then. But with them suddenly becoming good dog owners, I was excited and...

Hello from Phoenix! First off I am Dana and we have lots of furbabies. Most are rescues or given to us from another person who couldn't keep them anymore. We have 4 cats and now 2 dogs. Here is my dilemma... We got a 10 week old pup this past Sunday. He was the last of a litter and the owner...

My property is on sandy soil near a creek and a lot of swamp land in Central Florida. We are cursed with an abundance of fleas, ticks, mosquitos, and chiggars. I was looking for something to control nematodes in my veggie patch I noticed that "beneficial nematodes" are being marketed to...

Hi, Our dogs have always been on Revolution for their Flea/Tick/Heartworm prevention. Recently our dogs have been getting multiple ticks that aren't being prevented or killed by Revolution. (Just pulled one off last night, 14 days into this month's revolution coverage after about 18 months of...

I'm taking my cairn terrier pup to the vets for his booster vacs tomorrow and want to discuss Heartworm treatment, however my vet's approach in the past has been for me to make the decisions about what treatments are used (I know but she's the best of the really poor options around). From...

For those of you who use products like Revolution, Advantage Multi, Frontline, etc. do you treat all year round? I live in Toronto, where its currently below freezing and was told that I only need to treat June-November as fleas cannot survive these harsh temps. That doesn't seem right to me...

Four days ago, my 5 1/2 year old Chihuahua started behaving differently than normal. She wouldn't jump up on the couch like she always does. The next morning I went to feed her and she usually runs right to her bowl and starts eating immediately. She did not go over to her bowl at all. I...

We're curious if we need to use a monthly flea and tick prevention/treatment here in Phoenix, AZ. We are unsure if this is standard procedure for dogs everywhere or only necessary in certain parts of the world or only recommended at particular times of the year. Thanks for sharking your knowledge.

Greetings to Those in the Know, Can someone tell me how long to keep a Preventic collar on a dog? Do you keep it on all the time or just fit it the day before and remove it the day after you are out in a tick infested area? I do not plan to use any other tick protection. Thanks for any...

Oh my goodness fleas are going to be HORRIBLE this summer. We pretty much battle fleas all year anyway, but it gets 10 times worse in July-August. Well, right now the fleas are getting real bad already. Our flea preventative helps A LOT... but it just seems like the fleas will jump on the dogs...
