We use Revolution for our two dogs to prevent fleas, ticks and heartworm.

The biggest problem is Fumar, stay well away from him!

I haven't seen any snakes in our yard yet and we back on a golf course with some water. I'm sure there are snakes in the tall grass on the golf course and by the water, but dogs aren't allowed in environmental areas or on golf courses.

Fire ants in your yard would definitely pose a problem for dogs. But if you call your Pest Company, they'll come immediately to get rid of the problem.

Definitely don't take your dog swimming or near bodies of water. For sure, there are lots of gators around. I hear they migrate through the pipes, so best to be careful.

Dogs must be leashed in TV. So your dog shouldn't be able to investigate everything. There are off-leash dog parks available without the above hazards.

Good luck and enjoy Paradise.
