    Dog ticks are  far more resilient than the human verity.....they really take some licking to get rid of them....

    I don't know about that. I sometimes have to get ticks off my dog and they're a lot harder to remove than the ticks that try to feast upon me.

    Their immune system is probably stronger because of more exposure to ticks.

    I used to take my dogs on walks through meadows and forests in Charleston, SC. I usually got more. It is probably due to the fact that I am exposed to the entire plant that has the ticks.

  • My dog gets flea and tick meds.  He's 8 years old, and so far no problem.   As for us, I know the specific areas in this town where ticks have been known to be a particular problem, so we avoid those places.    Prevention for us thus far seems to be the best protection.
