Our vet switched my WPG (and the rest of the clinic) over to Credelio this year and it's worked just as well as Nexgard, but it's significantly cheaper per dose. The vet said the only reason she stopped prescribing the Nexgard was because of the price difference, not the effectiveness.

I brush 5-10 ticks off of my WPG every day when we get home from our 1 hour walk. She does tend to pick up more ticks than other dogs though just because of her long coat.

Is bravecto OTC or Prescription?

OTC, it's a little spendy but is 100% effective for 12 weeks.

Where can you get this OTC without a Rx?

[Machias]

Looked on Chewy's and need a Rx.

Bravecto is my go-to. Can pick it up from your vet easy peasy.

I've been putting tea tree oil in my shampoo just for ticks, so far this year I've only had one tick stuck on me and it was on my belly....because when I came out of the woods my tee shirt lost some length to it and my stomach was then exposed 


"oh I'm not going far, I'll leave the pack at home"  ya, 5 miles later deep in the woods....ah crap.


Had another one in my hair, but it washed right out and didn't bite in or latch itself on. 
I wasn't wearing a hat and was busting brush off any roads.  So I dunno if the tea tree oil worked but I think it did help keep it from latching on.


I made a thread earlier about tea tree shampoo for the dogs, decided not to do it.
