[QUOTE="VtMapleGal, post: 357084, member: 5953"] Ok. This is my specialty. I am a small animal vet tech and awnser this quesiton all the time. Frontline does NOT repell ticks. It kills them before they should transmit lymes disease. I have redbone coonhounds, whom are always roaming the yard. Your options for ticks are frontline, preventic collars, and advantix. Then there is the cheeper makes like bio spot and hartz crap. PLEASE dont use the hartz stuff. I have seen several dogs die from reactions to it, and it just plain dont work. Your best bet is probably advantix. It repels, and kills. It also does fleas and mesquitos, but i wouldnt trust it for a heartworm preventative. Preventic collars also work well, but they look similar to a flea collar, and once they get wet they arent much good. In any case, if your dog is outside much you should get a lyme vaccine shot if lymes is in your area. And remember ticks can carry many other diseases besides lyme. Bio spot is cheeper, but just doesnt have the quality behind it that advantix does. Advantix is 100% guranteed. It should run ya about 14-15 bucks a month for a large dog. [/QUOTE]
