There are many topical flea and tick prevention treatments available for your dog, as well as flea collars (these can be convenient since they typically last longer than topical treatment). Other options are oral flea and tick medications and yard treatments.

There are many options available for tackling ticks and fleas on your dog without necessarily going to the vet. Firstly, make sure to buy flea and tick products specifically designed for dogs, as some products meant for other animals can be harmful. You can explore pet medication without prescription such as topical treatments, sprays, or collars. Additionally, regular grooming and bathing with flea and tick shampoos can help keep infestations at bay. Another effective method is to regularly vacuum your home and wash your dog's bedding to remove any eggs or larvae.
