Sorry to say that if there is wildlife around domestic animals will get ticks. Mine get them all the time, even now!!
Talk to the vet about something akin to a flea treatment for ticks and invest in a tick remover also from the vet.Gardening requires a lot of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. Lou Erickson, critic and poet

Before you decide on a treatment research online! I have a dog who developed epilepsy after using one of these spot on treatments. I'm not saying that was the cause, and neither would the vet, but if you research them you will find lots of people talking about them, seems there is a lot of anecdotal evidence though not scientific.sigpic

A friend of mine swears by a few drops of lavender essential oil on her dogs' collars to prevent ticks.
I know it sounds a bit new age hippyish so I should point out that my friend is very tough, no nonsense, yorkshire lass with five marauding lurchers.
Apparently, ticks are a real problem where she walks her dogs but since starting with the lavender oil several years ago they've never had one.

I have to use very strong drops on our dogs as there is something called leishmania carried by the sandfly here and you do not want to see a dog suffer and die from that. Luckily the spray i use also protects against fleas and ticks which are also a big problem from were the goats wonder around.I grow 70% for us and 30% for the snails, then the neighbours eats them
