I've always kept mine on all year long. I've found that despite the weather outside, the fleas like the warm climate of my house if I don't keep up the regime. ;0) Cyndy -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Flea &tick prevention in the winter From: sheila lieberman <dgshwpromo@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, November 07, 2007 9:51 am To: Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx This is a very interesting question. I answered her privately about this, based on being in the Northeast all winter. Now my public answer....... If you are planning on bringing even one of your dogs down to the wonderful Florida shows, you do need to use tick and flea preventative all year round. the fleas and ticks here, even in Orlando, do not need to take the winter off. So be sure your dogs are protected and your entries are mailed, and while your at it, be sure your RV has a place to stay with electric and sewage by calling now.

I live in the Northeast so winters are cold. My question is: is it necessary to keep them on this all year long or can I take them off of it during the winter and start them again right before the spring and warm weather? What do others do? All year or most of the year? Thanks, Barbara ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
