One-week update: The ticks are gone. Gone. We are walking in the same tick-infested meadows as usual, and there is not one tick on the dogs when we come home. This is incredible.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the review, Guin!
I am going to try this…we live amidst conservation land, plenty of deer, and ticks. I am pulling 4-5 off the young dog every day, despite treatment with Advantix II.
comfortis is spinosad, cheristin is spinoforam, so I think it’s a bit different. I’ve tried comfortis and it works really well for cats, but dosing my three is a rodeo, so a topical is much easier for them.
The types of ticks it’s labelled for-- I’ve never heard of. Is this product targeted to certain climates/areas?! I’m intrigued but have never heard of the product?!
Our clinic will sell it OTC just like we sell Frontline. Why is it script at your clinic? Just curious.

Bravecto is awesome. We carry it at our clinic. A lot of customers want it and love it. We do require an exam within the last year on file for it since it is script.[/QUOTE]

The website says the following:
Kills Ixodes scapularis (black-legged tick), Dermacentor variabilis (American dog tick), and Rhipicephalus sanguineus (brown dog tick) for 12 weeks, and Amblyomma americanum (lone star tick) for 8 weeks.
The “Ixodes scapularis” is what you and I would call a “deer tick”, not sure why they label it only as “black legged”, I think they’d sell a lot more of this if they used “deer tick” as well.
Ah, the term “deer tick” is one I know!
Probably because it was released in the UK first and they don’t have Lyme disease there? Maybe their “deer ticks” are more prevalent on other animals.
