    I found a tick on my dog, Sat 2nd March. Have never even thought of treating this early in the year before. The vet was quite taken aback too when I went in to buy spot-on treatment. I guess it must be the mild weather we've been having. Anyway, those of us whose dogs live/walk in tick-vulnerable areas need to be on the look out already.

    We were in Portumna forest on 16/17th February and the dogs picked up a good few :(

    Thanks for the heads-up. I gave mine Bravecto just last week after the warm weather and was kicking myself when the snow set in. I loathe giving her things unnecessarily.

    Are you not meant to treat all year round?
    I treat my cat every month:
