Tick prevention on a working farm dog, higher stakes than a backyard dog
Bruno spends most of his day out on the property, brush, tall grass, the works, so his exposure is nothing like a dog that just does short leash walks. We do a full body check every single evening without exception, and I've gotten strict about which products actually hold up to that kind of exposure versus ones that just look good on a label. Curious what other working/farm dog owners have found actually performs under real conditions, not just marketing claims.

This tracks with what I see with Scout out in the field too, exposure level changes everything about what prevention actually needs to hold up against. Respect the discipline on the nightly checks
Nightly full-body check is the non-negotiable part, no product replaces that step honestly. Listing page here for anyone considering the breed: https://allinpets.com/pets/dogs/rottweiler/
Real-world exposure is a completely different test than a dog on pavement walks, good instinct being skeptical of label claims. There's a detailed new breakdown of what actually works versus what fails: https://allinpets.com/blog/dogs/tick-prevention-for-dogs-62/
