diggory 130 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 stick him a flea coller from wilkos on,about £1. a throw,always works for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrycatcat 31 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Just done my terrier with some stuff from "pet world" or something like that it cost about £1.74p and it does ticks and fleas I had it last year and it got rid of the ticks and she didnt get flees. I think it works for about a month. I am not slagging off frontline as folks say its the best but it is expensive. This stuff does my terrier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brookie 1,193 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 a good tip an pld boy gave me years ago. cover the dog in epsom salts wait for the fleas to go for a shit and hide the dog :clapper: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stabba 10,745 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Just like Diggory says.Bang a flea collar on all your dogs. All 5 done for under a tenner. They last for 4 months against fleas and ticks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrycatcat 31 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Flee collar ok but what about ticks? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ArchieHood 3,692 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 tick remover !! small piece of wire which safely pulls them off most good pet shops have them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrycatcat 31 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Yes you can get a tick remover but mine goes everywhere with me shooting and last year she got infested in ticks and I must have got 20 per day off her for over a week and thought feck this so put the flee and tick stuff on which took 30 seconds pulling ticks takes hours on end and sometimes they go septic no matter how good you are. I would sooner spend my time hunting than pullin ticks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
