Ha! I've had dogs before that were indoor/outdoor dogs. I'm sorry,
Frontline doesn't cut it. I gave my dog frontline 2 times a month and I'd
still pick about 200 ticks off of him and he was infested with fleas. I
gave him baths weekly. The products don't work. Try to live on Maui and
see if you don't have the same results.


well, ALL dogs are indoor/outdoor unles you litter train them! And of
course, dogs are social beings, and keeping them enclosed in a house
24/7 would not be healthy for their behavior.

My dogs don't live outdoors, they live in the house. They spend
varying periods of time outside with me though, and I do not use any
flea/tick preventative products. I'm a big believer that healthy pets
don't tend to attract pests much.

I live in a climate where the summers are hot and sticky and humid.
Mosquitos never actually die here, nor do fleas. I do not have fleas
on my dogs, my cats, or in my house. A rare tick every year or so,
and I do field training with my one dog, so he's in a populated
environment.

200 ticks on your dog? Something is very, very wrong there.
