   Never, My dogs get their monthly dose of Revolution (stops roundworms, ear mite, tick and fleas) and they have never had any problems. It is expensive, but so is getting rid of the problem when they get it!

   It depends on where you live. & what everyone is doing to control them.

   It is pretty much a summer thing but can be controled with insecticides. Also by clearing all the brushes & weeds & trash from your property.

   I use Frontline plus, and we have had 1 flea on 1 of our 4 dogs- the oldest is 10 and has never had a flea- ever.

   I hate to tell you, but this is a pointless question. It doesn’t matter how many times my dogs have had a tick or flea on them.

   When my dogs were pups too young to be treated, they had a bunch each day. Once I started treating them with Frontline Plus, I found few ticks or fleas, and they died as soon as they bit the dogs. THAT is what is important.

   I rarely find ticks or fleas on my dogs ever now that I treat them regularly. And none of them live very long. THAT’s what’s important.

   my dogs get fleas every summer but only once or twice have they gotten ticks and that was only after trip to the state forrest. but ticks were found early and removed before they could cause any problems for the dogs.

    No fleas and one tick in 25 years of multiple dogs. I use an oral prescription heartworm and parasite med each month.
