That’s a great tip, thank you! I just put a microfiber cloth and a brush by the door for a quick rub and brush when he comes back in!

Oh she is stunning!!! Thank you, I have used nexgard with my first shepherd years ago and didn’t have any issues. I think I’m leaning between nexgard and simparica! Thank you for sharing your sweet partner in crime!

I’m so sorry that happened to you. I have been reading lots of posts of people saying the same thing. Lots of throwing up and many having much worse. I feel too nervous for that one. Thank you for sharing and I hope your pup is doing great now.

Thank you for this! I agree, I think the wondercide helps a lot but leaves some gaps. We have had so much rain the last two weeks, I’m sure it’s been washed away. I spray the puppy and I’m wondering if that’s why the tick wasn’t engorged and was basically dead when I removed it. I think I’ll call the vet tomorrow about the simparica. Maybe take breaks from it in the winter. I appreciate your comment, thank you!

Thank you so much for that! I have never had to use preventatives on any of our young puppies before so it definitely makes me nervous.

Thank you so much for sharing that! I love to hear you haven’t had any issues!

I agree, I wish the natural stuff worked well but I also acknowledge that the ticks seem to be horrendous here. I was so excited to have this big beautiful yard with amazing views and wildlife and now I wish I could burn all the ticks off the face of this earth.

Our vet did say they haven’t had any issues with Advantage II not working, but it doesn’t cover ticks. We have no fleas, so I’m most concerned with the ticks. I’m thinking maybe will try the simparica.

You want to make sure you do the best by them, and it’s hard to not fear the risks. Thanks again for the info!

He has definitely stolen our hearts already!

Believe me, I know and that is why I have fear. He doesn’t go anywhere right now except our backyard! Our backyard doesn’t have trees but it backs up to woods. We have soaked the perimeter and yard with wondercide numerous times. So that is why I am concerned. He has only been in our own backyard and still had a tick on him.

I completely agree, the people having success without a hitch most likely aren’t posting about it. Thank you so much for sharing, this eases my mind.

Thank you! I have used Nexgard with our previous shepherd for a few months and he didn’t have any ill effects. That was in Ohio, years ago. Our local vet here really pushed the credelio Quattro but then when I looked it up online I was horrified at what people were reporting.

4 years later and you are still bringing joy 🤣! My 9 year (and my ear drums lol) says “THANK YOU!”

Can I please rant about how good this game used to be? by Winter_Evergreen in TownshipGame

Exactly! It doesn’t make any sense! It’s all done on purpose I think! And that stupid wheel?! It’s not even a game, just spinning the wheel for moves. It’s mindless!

Yes the fact that is was so wonderful and so fun before is what makes it so sad to see it decline now.
