We live near woods and I cant keep my 2 dogs out of them, so Ive been pullin em off my dogs all winter, they must be deer or just plain ol brown woods ticks. They just get frequent baths, a good collar I get from my vet and a spray that I spray on them here and there that seems to help. For the yard near the house I use this stuff in my sprayer that I get from Coweta Co-op and it works great for around the house.

Stuff works. If you do find a tick on your pup, it will be dead.
We have to use it with our 3 bostons for they sleep in bed with us. If they have this on, the ticks wont even use them for a ride.
