We've just returned from a week touring northern Scotland and found a couple of ticks on our dog, looks like they are active quite early. Fortunately our dog is given a monthly treatment but please keep your pets protected.

Think it depends on what you use.So dog still got ticks despite monthly treatment?
Most dogs down here on the Mediterranean wear Scalibor collars as these also protect against leishmaniasis which is spread by sandflies and is spreading faster each year. Well worth the small cost as leish is uncurable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_leishmaniasis

Yes I'm afraid they do but the treatment kills the ticks, however, the ticks die still attached so need to be carefully removed either with a tick removing tool or by twisting the tick gently anti clockwise, best to hold the tick with some kitchen towel though.So dog still got ticks despite monthly treatment?
All four dogs we have had have regular Advantix drops for flea & tick and wear a Scalibor collar as well for extra precaution against ticks and protection against sand flies during their seasons. I do know certain constituents in some drops are contraindicated with concurrent use if a collar though - I'll check if Mrs. B. had more info..Are dogs able to wear these if they have had their regular flea/tick treatment do you know?
I know they don’t advise a dog to have a flea collar if they have had monthly treatment.
