We live in rural PA and would love to get a family dog. However, being a very Lyme affected family we are naturally concerned about the dog bringing ticks into our house or transferring ticks to us. We have talked to several friends with dogs and they seem to all use different treatments but still say they find ticks on their dog or in the dog's bedding. This is the main deterent of us getting a dog.
Just looking for some advice on what works best for keeping ticks at bay while having an indoor/outdoor dog. And those of you with dogs, how often do you see ticks in your house or on you and your kids?
My daughter deserves a dog.
