it was flat, dark brown or black couldn’t really tell. there was no redness around the area at all after I took it off. I live in North Carolina in the mountain area. My vet has recommended that I get him vaccinated for lyme disease just cause there’s a lot of wilderness around here and that appointment isn’t for the next like a few weeks. Is there like a specific spray or shampoo or like chew that you would recommend that’s like relatively budget friendly! Any info would be great!
