With my dog ​​I often go to the woods or go hunting, before each hike I do spray treatment. I bought Frontline and Rolf Club; both drugs had a good effect; there were no ticks.

Vladimir, Moscow

I used Frontline for protection against ticks for 3 years, but this year the spray cannon had no effect after spraying, and an allergic reaction started in the animal. The veterinarian explained that such a popular tool is now often faked, so you need to buy only in a proven company.
