What should I use to kill ticks on my dog?

Flea/Tick control products such as Frontline for dogs or cats, the new K9 Advantix, Preventic Collars, and Kiltix are effective measures to kill ticks. It may take as long as 1 to 2 days for a tick to drop off your pet, even though it is killed fairly quickly once exposed to the active ingredients in a product. The fastest and probably the most efficient way to kill ticks is to expose them directly to a wet product like the EctoSoote Flea/Tick Shampoo or the Mycodex Shampoo.
