Perhaps the first and most important task that dog owners must solve is combating ticks.
There are a number of pharmaceutical preparations intended for treating pets against ticks, for example, foreign ones such as Bravecto, Simparica, Nexgard, etc.
If you can afford them, they are definitely the ones to choose.
Important note: pet owners should carefully approach the choice of the drug and the seller in order to avoid buying a fake.
There are also more affordable options like "Bars", "Bars Forte" and others. They are considered less convenient among dog owners, and their service life is shorter, but, nevertheless, they are quite reliable protection against ticks.
You may have come across advice on using folk remedies such as vanillin solution, etc.
In fact, they are not able to provide long-term and effective protection against blood-sucking parasites.
