🚨🐾 It’s official — tick season has started on the Northern Beaches!
Little Star came in the other night weak and grunting… and it didn’t take Dr Jill long to find the culprit — a paralysis tick on her neck. 🌿🕷️
All dogs and cats treated for tick paralysis receive a full body clip to help us find every last tick. We think Star really rocks her new look — and the best news is she’s already home with her family tonight recovering nicely. 💚✨
Now’s the time to check your pet’s protection. At Pittwater Animal Hospital, we’re here to help keep your pets safe:
✨ Cats: Every cat coming in for a consult or vaccination over the next 3 months can have a FREE 3-month flea, tick & worm treatment (Felpreva) applied.
🐶 Dogs:
✔ Many of our small–medium dogs have switched to the super convenient long-acting tick injection (Quantum).
✔ Larger dogs are still loving the Bravecto Bundles for reliable protection.
💚 Whatever you spend on tick prevention is worth it compared to the stress, anguish, and high cost of treating tick paralysis.
✅ Stay safe. ✅ Stay protected. ✅ Keep your pets tick-free this season!
