** ALERT** Paralysis Ticks
Paralysis ticks are out an about!
The best way to reduce the chances of your pet being bitten by a paralysis tick is to make sure they’re on a tick preventative, whether that be a yearly injection, chew, spot-on, or tick collar. Rinses and sprays are available but are less effective. Popular tick preventatives for dogs include, but are not limited to:
Chews, such as Bravecto, Credelio Plus, Nexgard, Nexgard Spectra, Simparica, and Simparica Trio.
Spot on treatments, such as Advantix, Frontline, and Bravecto.
Tick collars like Seresto.
Tick medications for dogs may be toxic to cats; ensure you use a cat-safe product for your cat or if you have cats in your household.
