I'm no expert but I was under the impression the anti-tick medication deterred the ticks as well as protected our pups. A client's mum lost one of her dogs this time last year, she thought she'd save a bit of cash over the winter months not giving the dogs their monthly tablet. Cue hottest winter on record and one pup dying a few days before the first day of spring. Tragic business.
