mandazlle - how do you almost get lyme disease?

i would strongly recommend getting some frontline. it kills all stages of fleas and ticks. in maryland, you have the right species of tick to get lyme disease and your dog can get it too. the tick needs to be on your for 24 hours before the bacteria can be transferred so as long as it doesnt go unnoticed you should be okay but its still a hassel to check constantly. frontline is about 20 bucks a month depending on the size of your dog and its a lot cheaper than treating things like flea anemia and other problems that come along with not using flea and tick prevention.

btw..... flea collars DO NOT WORK!!!!! sorry, i just really hate flea collars. and the flea and tick stuff you buy at krogers doesnt work either. its very ineffective.
