First Shield Trio is effective against all species of ticks. The active ingredients are designed to repel and kill all species of ticks. In some cases, a tick may get onto the pet, and in this case the First Shield Trio kills with contact so it should prevent them from attaching. It is a very good product that works well for many pets. Your veterinarian can talk to you more about the different types of tick prevention and which product is best for your pet. The American dog tick and the wood tick are different species of ticks. These ticks can both be dangerous and are capable of transmitting diseases, including Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, to your pet.
