I gave up walking in the woods. It just isn’t worth it in my opinion.

I think it is possible to give the dogs a good check at least once a day, at bedtime. It only takes about 5 minutes at the most.

PS: @Anne B, Sorry for what happened to your dog (Frontline)
I am worried about all the rabies vaccines we have to give our dogs…..sometimes we don’t have a choice.
Find a vet that you trust and listen to him, hope that he has your pets best interests at heart, that’s all we can do.
