IMO your dog should be on either frontline or advantage anyways, regardless of whether he is going to the kennel. Dogs with fleas are much more likely to get tape worms which occur when a dog eats a host flea. Also, ticks carry limes disease, which is not a pleasant disease for dogs to get. We had an elderly dog who developed limes disease and it was heart breaking to watch him suffer.
Also, your dog can pick up fleas/ticks from walking outside into the back yard.
