You have seen pics of my dogs. Nearly every one of them, they are wearing orange vests. That is mostly for visibility. But I also soak them with Permethrin if I'm going someplace that ticks might be an issue. Other than that, lots of tick checks.

We do not worry too much about fleas until one of them kills a rabbit or squirrel. Then everyone gets a bath with flea soap, and all the dog bedding gets washed immediately. We just don't have much of a flea problem, unlike when I lived in the South. It is a lot tougher down there.
