Re: Re: New Anti-Fly Product?

The website for Freedom Spot-On does not mention ticks.

Asked my vet, when he was out for spring shots recently, about a new product
I'd heard of that protects against both flies and ticks, and he said that it
just came out late last summer so they don't really know much about it yet.
