Injectable flea and tick treatment

Wow, it lasts 12 months?? I would be very wary of that (but then I've had bad experiences with the tablets, and I know the majority of dogs get on just fine with them).

I don't think you need to have tick/flea protection all year round. We have terrible tick infestations here in the summer, so Merlin wears a tick collar from mid-April to mid-October (we don't use anything on Poppy), and nothing in the other months. I wouldn't prophylactically treat against fleas; only one of my dogs ever got them (after sniffing a hedgehog) and a bath with flea shampoo dealt with that.
