Funny you should ask... ;-} It's been a terrible tick season here of late...especially the deer ticks...the ones that most often transmit Lyme disease. And I've been wondering about Frontline. I dosed the dogs early in Oct. Two & three weeks later was finding dead or dying, but fully engorged ticks. Made me really wonder if the Frontline's killing them before they have a chance to pass the Lyme causing spirochete and also whether the ticks are becoming resistant to the fipronil (active ingredient in Frontline)... Geez I HATE ticks!!! Sherri Venditti
