We protect our little one with both heartworm and flea and tick. Two weeks after arriving in TV I was petting Piper and felt something on her back and sure enough it was a very small tick (she was rolling in the grass earlier that day). I was wondering why the topical didn't keep it off of her. When speaking with our Vet he said the meds don't prevent the ticks from attaching, but they do kill them once they bite. She now gets a "body check" almost every night and will be on the treatment year round instead of 6 mths. like in Cleveland.
