should I dip Tip while she is in heat?

We dip weekly as we live on a smallholding and I'm just wondering if I should dip her now that she is in season. I know it seem like a silly question but I don't want her to get sick.   we never had a female in season as we normally have them spayed at six months. Due to some personal difficulties we been unable to have Tip done yet. 

Dip as in swimming? Sorry if thats a daft question! Xx

No dipping as a measure to combat ticks and fleas. I don't have much faith in powders for it. If used correctly is kills the culprits. Just worried that her being in heat might make dipping her a bit difficult.

I can't see why it would but I also don't don't use treatments unless necessary. What are they dipped in out of interest I have never heard of doing it x

We use a product called Ectodex that we buy from our vet.

Do you really need to use that product? That is a pretty hardcore pesticide and mainly used for treating mange infestations. Not healthy for your dog, you or the environment.

Because we have a lot of livestock grazing around our property we have a major problem with ticks on our dogs. The jack russel cross also is prone to mange. Its due to this that our vet suggested this product. I llost a dog to mange it is not a pretty sight and we dip the dogs that don't have the mange issue with what they recommend for tick and fllea treatment.
I tried the normal flea powders and shampoos but it hardly affected the ticks and fleas

Ahhh, very understandable then.

Have another word with your vet/ veterinary nurse; a quick phone call should put your mind at ease.
