NWR::: ticks on dogs!!!!help

Im wondering if ticks are out like crazy right now...I put frontline on my dog every month.dog..but i take my everywhere, I dont let him run around in high grass or anything, but the other day we were playing ball at a park and I took 2 ticks off him and today he was at a softball game for a few hours and I pulled a tick off him... IM GETTING SO MAD.... is anyone else having the same issue right now? I'm feeling like ticks are all over the place right now..

Is there anything else better then frontline I should be using???

Frontline is really good. so is Advantix. i don't know what type of dog you have, but make sure that when you apply either of them that you apply it to the skin don't just let it soak up in the fur. if your dog is large, put it on a few spots going down the back.

In my past experience i dont think frontline works very well. I switched to advantage (i think thats the name).. its more expensive but seems to work better. .... however, take my advice with a grain of salt considering I haven't used it on my dog in a while... Im a bad mommy

He is actually passed out right now so Im going to check him considering he was all over the place today

My dog is actually due to go to the vet to get his lymes/lepto shot In May so Im gonna ask the vet which is better..I have an American Bulldog so he has shirt fur..he is big so Im gonna take your advise and put it in more then one spot on his back next time i do it..all 3 times I pulled of the ticks, they werent swollen with any blood yet, dont know if that is cause i use frontline or they just werent on him for too long when I saw them..
