I totally understand your point of view...we are blessed to have options.
FWIW: I do occasionally see localized skin reactions to over the counter flea and tick medications containing permethrin. Permethrin is the ingredient that is most effective at keeping off the ticks. The dogs will lose hair where the topical was applied. Some of the dogs will become extremely painful to touch in the area.
Seresto and Preventic (Amitraz) collars are probably the safest, best alternative to oral meds.
