Reply to comment by fighting_gopher in Moving to NH this week…more questions (unanswered so far) about ticks by fighting_gopher

Dogs can still get a tick but the drug kills them. You still need to check them and remove the ones that are DOA. Get in the habit of checking yourself when you get home. Buy a removal tool before you need it. We like loop type. Pull it out in one piece. Make sure you remove before going to bed. You get 24 hrs pretty safe.

Also they don't die right away, so your pets can still transport them into the house. I have often found one crawling on me after the cat jumps off.
