I don’t have a tick problem just fleas. How well has advantage worked for you? I have used Frontline for years and seems to be not effective anymore on the cats or dogs.
Just another note: dogs have got skin growths warts. I’m not sure but I have used Frontline for years. I’m wondering if they got the warts from the Frontline as well.

Okay, this is a really weird question but I’m a paranoid person. I found a couple of ticks on my dog (nothing unusual, we live in South Jersey) And they were tiny and easily came off because we check her when she comes inside from pooping. The problem is that i dropped one so small that I can’t find it. I searched everywhere. I don’t mind if it’s on me because I will find it and if it goes back on my dog i’ll see it (she’s cream colored). The problem is I have two dark tabby cats that explore everywhere in my house. If the tick gets on them, the chances of me finding it on Charles is about 30% and 15% on Albert (he doesn’t like to be touched very much).
So the question is…If it enjoys a blood meal on one of my cats, will it just fall off? Or is it one of those ticks that burrow? Do cats contract Lyme’s Disease as often as dogs and humans? Can I buy a pack of special wipes to rub down my cats to avoid it attaching to them? Should I be worried, my cats are my babies and could not love a human baby as much as I love them?
The tick was: very small and flat like if you weren’t looking closely, it could be mistaken for a freckle. It was light brown and resides in weather between 28 and 55 degrees F in the heavily wooded areas of southern New Jersey.
Two weeks ago our vet removed two ticks from our cat’s neck. We purchased Frontline but got busy and didn’t put it on our cat. Today we found another tick on our cat and my husband removed and killed it. Now we are freaking out thinking these ticks are in our house! We really cannot afford a three hundred dollar extermination. What can we do? Are they really in our house?
