Not at all. I have a chocolate lab myself, and whenever I give him his flea and tick preventative, he thinks it's the best treat ever.
Are flea and tick treatments painful? - Advanced Animal Care
No, they're not painful for your pet, but what might be more painful are some of the secondary things we see from fleas and ticks like skin infections or the itchiness or things like that. But giving them a preventative product or even giving them a regular old bath isn't painful.
Are flea and tick treatments painful? - Summer Creek Animal Clinic
Generally speaking, no. If you have a severe tick infestation and you have to manually peel ticks off, that could get uncomfortable. But, it's not often painful. Flea and tick baths used to be a big thing 10 or 20 years ago, but that has fallen out of favor because products and preventions that kill them have gotten so good. We don't typically recommend any sort of dipping for severe flea or tick infestations in our hospital. We just start the animals on prevention that will kill them as quickly as possible. That is the mainstay of both treatment and prevention.
