I never heard of ticks being a problem in Florida and we have two dogs who are moving with us of the larger breeds. I want to get on this well in advance, for us and the dogs. Ugh. We have a half acre in Seattle and no ticks.
This wasn't a Florida problem this year. I live in the Chicago area. This was a country wide problem because of the weather.

I had changed my dogs meds and have since gone back to their old meds. I think that should do the trick!
