I am sending two dogs to upstate New York in Aug. I was just informed there is a BIG tick problem there. They have deer ticks which carry Lime Disease. What do you suggest as a preventive? They do have 2 small children so don't want to use anything toxic. ALSO do you recommend the Lime shot?? Thanks a heap.
