I have lived in all types of climates and locales with my pooch. Starting with Tropical in the Cayman Islands, Far North as Maine, South Carolina and Georgia. I have never used any topical or oral form of flea, tick, parasite, heartworm, or any other kind of worm prevention on my dog. I have never had a flea infestations, never had any worms or other parasites infect her. I have had ticks on both the dog and the family but when in areas that we are likely to pick up ticks everyone, human and canine, is carefully looked over and they are proptly removed. Tick have to be attached for a long time (36-48hrs) to transfer disease so I figure as long as I am vigilant about it there is nothing to worry about.
