Fleas and Ticks<br />

Fleas and ticks do occur in the Willamette Valley. Our current protocol for flea and tick control<br />

consists <strong>of</strong> administration <strong>of</strong> Revolution® given monthly beginning in May through October and<br />

Frontline Plus® from October through April. Revolution® will combat heartworm as well as<br />

external parasites in the heartworm susceptible months. Alternating with Frontline Plus® will<br />

help avoid/delay the development <strong>of</strong> resistance in fleas and ticks. We will also be <strong>of</strong>fering<br />

additional types <strong>of</strong> flea and tick preventative including Capstar®, Program®, Advantix® and<br />

Advantage®.<br />

Ticks<br />

There are hard (ixodid) and s<strong>of</strong>t (argasid) ticks. S<strong>of</strong>t ticks are found in the southern US and<br />

<strong>of</strong>ten colonize the external ear canal where larva and nymphs feed <strong>of</strong>f the lymph in the ear canal.<br />

Hard ticks are more likely to be parasitic and spread disease. Rhipicephalus sanguineus, the<br />

brown dog tick, can transmit babesiosis, anaplasmosis, E. canis, F. tularensis and cause tick<br />
