I have three kids, one daughter and two furry babies. Our dogs are not just pets, they are a part of our family. My Yorkie is 13.5 years old while my younger Affenpinsher mix just turned 10. Part of being a responsible pet owner is caring for the dogs well being. Annual veterinary and frequent grooming visits help our dogs stay active and happy as well as handsome.
Part of our monthly routine is applying a flea/tick protection. Through Mom IT Forward Blogger Network we received PetArmor to try out. Ticks were a big problem when we lived back East. I have memories of plucking them off my dog. Yuck! Living in SoCal means awesome warm weather but that also means that fleas (and ticks) flourish here. The summer is dreadful as both of my dogs wind up with fleas. My neighbors dogs wind up with fleas. The neighborhood cat population winds up with fleas. YUCK!! It can be difficult to control even with flea protection. My veterinarian said to be consistent by applying protection every month. But it seems that sometimes the flea control isn’t controlling the situation. It just could be that Hollywood has a bigger flea issue than Frontline or other products can handle. Another possibility is that my dogs or the fleas have become resistant to some of the other brands that I purchase. Who knows, but we decided to gave PetArmor a shot. Why not? The prices are competitive and it had the same active ingredient Fipronil found in Frontline products.
Easy application!
PetArmor is available for cats and dogs and can be found at Walmart and Target. One package contains 3 pipettes. For more information visit PetArmor.Com
A healthy pet is a happy pet. =)

We apply a monthly flea/tick protection for our dog, too. The one that we apply also helps with protection from diseases/illness that may occur from slug slime! Ew!!! I guess dogs eat slugs. In our case it could even come from slug slime left on apples that have fallen from the tree! In any case, pets are family members in our house! Regular maintenance, such as flea/tick protection is important!
What a super easy application! Ps. That baby picture of T is TO DIE FOR!!
This is great to hear! We live on the east coast and our dog loves sniffing in the high grass. He’s come in with 5 ticks on his head before – it was terrible. He’s even had lymes disease and we use flea and tick medication monthly! We’ll definitely try this! Thanks for the recommendation!
