Our vet recommended NexGuard (monthly pill for fleas and ticks). Our dog sometimes gets ticks but if they latch on they die. We also do the Lyme vaccine

A town clerk may charge up to $4.00 per hour for any person to examine the records. The fee is higher if the clerk agrees to examine the record for you. So yes, some clerks may offer you time to examine the record free of charge, but they can (and many do) charge for access. https://legislature.vermont.gov/statutes/section/32/017/01671

As someone who works in the veterinary field, Bravecto absolutely can still kill dogs, just like any flea and tick medication that works on the nervous system of the fleas and ticks. The pros of these meds just beat the cons of having tick borne disease and fleas, it doesn't mean they don't come with risks. If anything the negative reaction Seresto cases we have seen have been less severe b/c you can take the collar off and the active ingredient begins to leave the body. If animals have a bad reaction to Bravecto they are stuck with it for 3 months and it makes it more likely to be fatal.

I use simparica trio, I was a bit leery at first but my dogs have been on it 6 months now and doing great. It’s a 3 in one combo, flea, tick, and heartworm.
