When we were in Florida, ticks were never really an issue. In VA, that seems to be different. We have woods in our backyard. I took Zeus out this morning and about 15 minutes later I saw this dot on his belly. I looked and sure enough it was a tick. My husband and I got it out. It hadn't yet begun to bury itself deep.
What can I do to help prevent ticks from attaching? In Florida where we lived, there really was no need for topicals. I just always combed him to make sure there were no fleas on him, plus I kept my yard well sprayed. In Florida, Zeus never had a flea or tick on him. I know ticks can carry disease so naturally this has me very concerned. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Nate, if you read this, I'd really welcome your advice.
