Have had a few dog ticks. One that got me was the black legged deer tick that can carry Lyme, ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis, but hadn’t been on me long and not inflamed. For cats and dogs, Bravecto works well. More than a repellent, it kills the tick even before it bites. You need a prescription from a vet and it’s expensive, but I think worth it.
