Tick Meds

What flea and tick medication does everyone use? The vet I work for only carried Vectra 3D, which Zehen had a reaction to when he was younger. I haven't used tick medication on my guys recently due to the lack of exposure, but they are highly exposed now with all the woods around our new house.

I've been using a Preventix collar on mine when the ticks are really bad. I also use Frontline Plus for fleas.

I've used Frontline Plus and K9 Advantix with no issues. Luckily, we only need to use it a couple months out of a year here.
