One Way to Prevent Fleas and Ticks on Your Dog

Have you ever been bitten by a flea? Or worse, have your kids ever had a tick on them? Ugh, just the thought of fleas and ticks creeps me out.

As dog owners we experienced problems with fleas a few years back.

We were taking care of Chico (my sister’s dog) for the summer and somehow he got infested with fleas. His belly was red all over, he couldn’t stop scratching and biting at himself and no matter how many treatments and baths we tried we just couldn’t get rid of the fleas.

Even worse, the fleas decided to move into our tiny, 800 square foot apartment. Not only did they move in but, they full on attacked me!

I was the only one (besides poor Chico) getting bit up by fleas.

Chico and I were miserable. Can you imagine being attacked by fleas while you’re sleeping? It sucks!

We bombed the place twice.

Two times guys! And the fleas were still there!

We had to move Chico back to my sister’s home and use a special (and expensive) spray to finally get rid of them. But I wish we wouldn’t have had to go through the two-month ordeal in the first place.

Fast-forward to this year and you’ll see we’re all about preventing fleas and ticks for our new dog, Lola. prevent fleas and ticks

Isn’t she a cutie? And she’s sweet too. We adopted her from an animal shelter and I can’t get over how much we lucked out with her.

We started using Adams™ Flea & Tick Collar for Dogs & Puppies because it kills adult fleas and ticks and repels mosquitos for up to 6 months. We live in Texas, it’s almost always hot and those pests are everywhere. I definitely have a peace of mind knowing Lola is protected from fleas, ticks and those pesky mosquitos.prevent fleas and ticks

The one size collar is easily adjustable and fits all dogs. It’s also water resistant and the tin has 2 collars inside, that’s one year of pest protection for your dog.

Personally, I love how convenient this type of pest control is. I just place it on Lola (no more monthly, potentially messy applications) and we’re good for 6 months.

If you have a dog or puppy at home, you may want to pick this up the next time you’re shopping at Walmart. Look for the new, red circle tin at your Walmart or even at Walmart.com.

I wish we had focused on pest prevention for Chico. That would have saved us a lot of time away from our apartment because of the bombing and money spent on various products trying to get rid of the fleas.

Not to mention saved me and Chics – not a typo I like to call him Chics sometimes 🙂 – from all those flea bites!

Good thing we got Lola covered though, she’s our spoiled pup and we take her everywhere. Even on vacation with us!AD - Pet care is so important. Keeping your dog or puppy free of fleas, ticks and mosquitos can be hard during the summer months. We use Adams Flea and Tick Collar for dogs and puppies. One tin provides 12 months of protection.

    Great article! I wish I would have read your blog before I went camping with my dog Sage. Last month My dog Sage and I went camping for the first time. Prior to the Curvier River campgrounds, I used frontline and assumed Sage would be safe… Boy was I wrong. I go further detail into what happened and how I was able to get rid of lone star ticks in 10 mins.

    I respect your work and would greatly appreciate it if you read it and leave some feedback.

    Again, kickass article and I look forward to reading more of your thoughts!
