Question for u guys. Have always used half purple cattle tags. Brother bought a pack last year we took what we needed put the rest in a zipper type freezer bag. We put new ones on about a month ago. Hunted Friday and sat when done we picked dogs up on tailgate and each hound had between 8 and 15 ticks on outside and inside ears and some on heads. U think tags are no good or what. Also do any of u mix perenthiem 10 mixture and wipe down before running. What mixture do u mix? U think new tags or wipe dogs down before running them with tags also

I use frontline plus/combo and cattle tags, get my frontline plus/combo from Budget Pet Care.
The combo is the EU packaging and cheaper than the plus which is the US packaging.

I buy the extra large dog size and split it up for 3 hounds/pippet.

Frontline Plus (Known as Combo) for Dogs Flea & Tick treatment | BudgetPetCare

Frontline Plus (Known as Combo) is topical flea and tick control product for dogs. It kills 100% fleas within 12 hours of treatment. Buy now at best price.

Oh for sure they do. I feel like they give advice on how to keep your animals healthy as well

Took my derbies for a little run today and google told me that a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water works well for 10 days. And besides looks like they were turned on by the rundown. So then I go to the dog supply and they have the cow tags on the shelf and then the conversation revolves around how they are for a thousand pounds animal, so cut them in half and then see how your math works out

I’ve always cut em in half before I have used them. Because a 500lb use is so much better than a 1000lb😂😂😂

We live in west ky. Ticks are horrible from march till December. We use a whole purple cattle tag on our running dogs . Have for 3 years now with no issues. No ticks on them . But we start dogs for other people and are constantly pulling ticks off them every day. Interesting thread .

Bravecto Canada Pet Care, buy the tablets for extra large dogs and cut in fourths, cheaper that way
Zip tie purple cattle tags to kennels all the way around high and out of reach of dogs and not over feed or water
Tends to help with flies, mosquitoes etc
