Seed Ticks
Has anyone (probably those in the southern states where ticks abound) ever heard of "seed" ticks? The groomer said today that Clancy has them and I have never heard of them. I "googled" them, but I was wondering if any of the DK group have ever encountered this and if so, what did you do to get rid of them. Clancy is on Frontline once a month and other than the occasional tick, it hasn't been a problem.

Seed ticks are the larval stage of ticks. Removal is challenging, because the ticks cling to hair and skin with claws like little grappling hooks. I would contact your Vet and see what they recommend since your pet is already on Frontline.
