Seeking a doghouse for our cat! The birds were eating his food...he needs shelter from the big hawks!
Also, the tick medicine we used caused him to lose the fur on the back of his neck...any suggestions?
thanks!

Hannah, my goodness! What did you use (so I don't try it)?
We use Frontline and it works for both fleas and ticks although protection from ticks doesn't last as long. There's no need to pay extra for Frontline Plus in my experience.
Best,

Check this site for information on possible reactions to Frontline https://www.beyondpesticides.org/infoservices/pesticidefactsheets/toxic/FIPRONIL.HTM
It might answer your question about the hair loss.

Both Advantage and Frontline cause the fur on the neck of my Abbysinian cat to fall out. Doesn't happen to my other two cats or dogs, just the Abbysinian, so he doesn't get treated with anything. Fortunately, he never seems to have a problem with ticks or fleas like the others.
