I used Frontline for years for my dogs. Last year it failed my dogs and one of them ended up with three found ticks before I asked my vet for advice. He told me that he was beginning to see this happen quite often and that the ticks were developing a resistance to the Frontline active ingredient. My dog did contract Lyme disease before I switched repellant.
Perhaps the State of Kentucky had asked for this feedback before but I’d never seen a request by them like this before this year. I’m definitely more aware when I’m in the woods nowadays.
