tick and flea stuff for the rainy season (gold + lay)

Gold is our golden retriever, he is 7 now, and he gets everything. Tick drops every month from the vet, plus the collar, plus a bath with the shampoo the vet recommended. Every rainy season we find one or two ticks in the house, always after his evening walk around the moo baan. Lay is our hedgehog. People think hedgehogs are safe from ticks, but they can get mites and sometimes ticks if they run around outside, so we keep him indoors mostly. The vet said use the special drops for small animals, not the dog one, because the dog one can be too strong for him. I did not know that at the beginning and I almost used the dog product on him. Lucky the pharmacist asked me first. So if you have a hedgehog or a rabbit, check with a vet who sees exotic pets, not only a dog and cat doctor. Gold and Lay do not get along at all, Gold sniffs him all day. But they are getting used to each other.
