Tick & Parasite Defence

1

Tick fever kills more Indian dogs than parvo

Ehrlichiosis and babesiosis from brown dog ticks. Year-round risk. ₹400-900/month prevention vs ₹10,000-25,000 treatment.

2

NexGard vs Frontline vs Bravecto: which one?

NexGard (oral, 30 days, ₹600-900). Frontline Plus (spot-on, 30 days, ₹400-600). Bravecto (oral, 90 days, best value).

3

The deworming schedule most owners get wrong

Puppies: every 2 weeks until 12 weeks. Adults: every 3 months. Extra dose during monsoon. That's it.

4

Natural tick prevention: what works and what doesn't

Neem oil and ACV have mild repellent effect but are NOT sufficient alone in Indian conditions. Supplement, don't substitute.
