Over the counter or vet only prevention for ticks?

They both can be effective. The little pills that look like a small square meat treat from the vet seems to work best. There are a few brands that fall in this category of once a month flea/tick meat pill. Actually, i give my dog a third of one and it works for a few months. I have learned that after cutting a third of the pill off, I need to freeze the rest in an airtight container because of the food flavoring can go bad and the pill kind of melts if left at room temp.
The liquid type for squeeze on can work except for the cheaper ones. Some dogs seem to feel yucky for a day or so after applying but some don't. The kind you get 3 in a pack for less than $10 don't seem to be good at all, but the Frontline and Frontline equivalent do pretty good
