How to search for Ticks in that fur?

[Jess]

So apparently I just didn't know about ticks.... with dogs or humans..... My kids are easy to search but how the heck to you look through all that hair on a doodle????? Any tips?

He is not on anything for ticks, only revolution which doesn't help with ticks.

The only way is by touch. Roxy is tan, but her curly coat hides everything. I live in Hunterdon County, NJ where ticks and Lyme disease (along with deer) are rampant. Roxy takes flea/tick/heartworm medication year round. She also has the Lyme disease shots. My husband and I have both had Lyme disease and it's no fun. If you are finding ticks on a daily or weekly basis, you should have your dog on tick medication. You'll still find ticks on your dog, but they'll be dead.
