We have recently been asked questions about a chewable tablet that vets are recommending for dogs to treat ticks and fleas. Below are a few testimonies from actual customers that have tried the product. Judge for yourself!

Within 24 hours he started vomiting, had bad diarrhea, became extremely lethargic, won't stand up, panting non-stop and seems "spacey". He is no longer the active, happy 2 year old lab that we know. This POISON should be taken off the market!!! I pray my pup gets better!

See Does ******* Kill Dogs by scientist Kimberley Anne on FB that tells you how and why it does.
Our Golden Retriever had one ****** 5 months ago early March. She started seizures and lameness
Collapse and loss of vision and hearing. She didn't know us walked into walls. It was the most horrendous frightening experience all this in 3 days from *******. Now she has cancer. Merial are experimenting with our pets
If no one bought it then retailers would send it back to merial.

This product can make you dog very sick. It has nearly killed our 4 year old border collie. She can barely stand up. Started with very bad diarrhea and then she had bad balance and wobbles. I have read that it has killed dogs it should have a proper warning sheet included in the box.

At 9am I gave this to my healthy energetic 1&1/2 yr old staffy. I left and returned 4 hours later to find he was walking in circles and like he had drunk legs, he was bumping into everything like he couldn't see where he was going. Took him straight to the vet and they said he had had a seizure, then he had another one while at the vet, he went into observation and we had to take him to the hospital vet to be in constant observation overnight. When we called at 7am he had more seizures overnight and the last one was pretty bad. The vet said he had brain damage and more testing would have to be done costing $5-$10k, with no guarantee of an outcome, most likely that there wouldn't be one. this product is poison and needs to be recalled for the safety of anymore family pets losing their life. I understand some pets have this product with no concern but is it really worth it to risk so many more . The fact that I have this tablet and only 4 hours later my boy was sick is no coincidence defiantly a result of the ******* tablet. My children are devastated ,we are devastated and our other dog is missing him . Sad outcome from what I thought was in his best interest, the thing that also blows me away is how a company can not have these side effects on the packaging or even on the flyer if the packaging, however if you go to the website there is a lenghthy list of side effects to be warned of, why aren't these on the box!!!

Ticks cannot jump or fly, but often climb grasses and shrubs in order to come in contact with people or animals walking by so they can attach themselves and feed on blood. Protect your pooch with TIX MIX today!!

Some pets and people may have an allergic reaction to a tick bite. This reaction may be mild, with a few annoying symptoms. In rare cases, a severe allergic reaction may occur.
Many of the diseases ticks carry cause flu-like symptoms, such as fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, and muscle aches. Symptoms may begin from 1 day to 3 weeks after the tick bite. Sometimes a rash or sore appears along with the flu-like symptoms. Common tick-borne diseases include: Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Tularemia, Ehrlichiosis, Relapsing fever, Colorado fever & Babesios.

Do you know which ticks are in your area?

Throughout the United States and Canada, there are a number of ticks that carry a number of serious diseases. And some ticks are known to carry more than one of these diseases, which can lead to multiple infections, or coinfection, that can complicate treatment and lead to greater health risks.

Also, risk of exposure to vector-borne disease has increased as more and more people and pets move into areas that were previously wild and perfect tick habitats. Other factors, including the growth of white-tailed deer and wild turkey populations, have resulted in expanded populations and geographic distribution of ticks.

Get to know the ticks and diseases in your community and protect yourself and your dog with Tick Off.

I recently took the dogs out hunting and came back with a tick on me but none on the dogs. Apparently the weather is not cold enough to deter the ticks yet.

Remember the cold, frosty fall weather does not kill ticks, and in fact, that is when the deer tick numbers are at their peak. The best time to contract Lyme Disease is during September, October, and November since the deer tick is the primary carrier. The point here is that environmental control needs to continue into the fall and early winter
What is the life cycle of a tick?

Most ticks are what we call three host ticks, that is, during their development which takes two years, they feed on three different hosts. All ticks have four stages to their life cycle: egg, larvae (seed tick), nymph, and adult. Let us look at the life cycle of the deer tick, as an example.
Adult female deer ticks lay eggs on the ground in spring. Later in the summer (depending on moisture and temperature), the eggs hatch into larvae. The larvae, which are smaller than the period at the end of this sentence, find an animal (the first host, which is usually a bird or rodent), live off its blood for several days, then detach and fall back onto the ground. For deer ticks, this most commonly occurs in the month of August. In the ground, the well-fed larvae now molt into the next stage and are called nymphs.
Each female tick lays approximately 3,000 eggs.
The nymphs remain inactive during the winter months and in spring become active. The nymph now finds an animal (the second host - a rodent, pet, or human) and feeds again. Once well fed, the nymph detaches and falls back to the ground. Here it molts and changes into an adult. Throughout the fall, both adult male and female ticks now find another animal (the third host - a rodent, deer, pet, or human) and feed on blood and mate. Once well fed, both males and females fall back to the ground. The male now dies and the female lives through the winter and lays eggs in the spring, completing the cycle. If the adults cannot find a host animal to feed on in the fall, they will survive in the leaf litter until the next spring when they will feed, mate, and produce eggs.
