WAs going to say (Helen beat me) I keep mine in the car in a pencil case in the glovebox, as the dogs are never usually far from where my car is  ph34r :005:

I was running through yesterday what I need to take on holiday next week & thought/hoped it was a bit early to need the o-tom.  Maybe not then  :-\

Do you get ticks in any particular places i.e long grass? Also are they obvious or do you need to go looking for them?

I have a couple of o'toms at the ready....  :D

at the moment they seem to be deer ticks so in the woods normally - our vet says that it's deer ticks spring/early summer and then more sheep ticks throughout the summer and a combo of both late summer/autumn  ::)

Thank you - and do you check for them after a walk or is it easy to notice them?
