Ticks are active well into fall and can pose health risks to your pets. Here's what you should know to keep your furry friends safe:

Do:

✅Check your pet regularly, especially after outdoor activities.
✅Remove ticks immediately with fine-tipped tweezers.
✅Pull straight up with steady, even pressure.
✅Monitor your pet for signs of illness after tick exposure.

Don't:

❌Twist or jerk the tick when removing.
❌Forget to check hard-to-see areas like ears, armpits and between toes.
❌Skip parasite prevention during cooler months.
❌Ignore symptoms like lethargy, fever or loss of appetite.

When in doubt, contact your veterinarian. Prevention is always better than treatment!

👀 You may have come across the ads for these at-home ultrasonic tooth scaler/cleaning devices for pets. Although it may sound like a great idea to pet owners, using this kind of device at home is essentially performing anesthesia-free dental cleaning. It not only fails to clean pets’ teeth thoroughly, but it also poses many risks:
⚠ Without cooling with water, it can overheat teeth and cause damage.
⚠ It creates micro-scratches on enamel. Without polishing, the tooth surface becomes rough, and plaque will be more likely to adhere.
⚠ Teeth may look cleaner on the surface, but plaque and calculus are still present underneath the gumline, on the inside of teeth, and in other places where owners cannot reach while pets are awake.
⚠ The device aerosolizes bacteria during use, which will be inhaled by both pets and pet owners (dangerous!).
⚠ When it’s done for patients with painful dental conditions, it causes a significant amount of pain and discomfort. It can damage the relationship between pets and their owners, and in some cases, owners may be bitten by their pets.
⚠ Without proper diagnosis and treatment by professionals, disease can be hidden and will continue to cause pain and discomfort for pets.

Although common tick habitats include wooded areas, tall grasses and leaf litter, you can find a tick just about anywhere - even your own backyard. Since they can latch onto a host quite easily, it's important to always thoroughly tick check yourself and your pets, and use parasite prevention for your pets. Speak to your veterinarian to learn more about pets and tick safety.
