Use Dectomax on your hounds and forget about tics
Does heartworm and mange and a host of other worms and bities as well

do you guys inject it or give orally?
I used to inject greyhounds with it but vet was telling me you can give it orally for the same effect?

I inject under the skin at the nape of the neck 0.6 - 0.8 of a ml per 10kg of body weight once every 28 days

1.5ml of IMax Gold per 50kg of dog once a fortnight orally works a treat. Does ticks, mites and all the worms except tapeworm. Tapeworm is spread by fleas so no fleas = no tapeworm. IMax wont kill fleas though if they show up treat them with frontline and give the dog a couple of all wormer pills.

I've used Dectomax on my hounds for years...
I use a dose of 1ml per 20kg per month.
I inject into the scruff of the kneck. You can just squirt into there mouth. They hate the taste but it still works.
I have 10+ dogs at any time so the 500ml bottle for just under $300 is quite economical.
If you only have a couple of dogs its still worth going halves with a pal or family member.
No need to worry about ticks, mange, heartworm or intestinal worms. Doesnt do Tapeworm though.
Cheers
Mick
