CAUTION: Incoming Tick Pics
Tick season is here in Alberta, and pets are at risk whenever they spend time outdoors. Ticks can attach to dogs, cats and even you, during walks, hikes, visits to parks, or even in your own backyard.
Ticks may transmit diseases and can be difficult to spot, especially in pets with thick coats.
Preventive tick medications remain the most effective way to protect your pet. If you find a tick attached to your pet, remove it promptly with fine-tipped tweezers and monitor the area for signs of irritation or infection.
If you have concerns about tick exposure or would like to discuss tick prevention options, please contact our clinic. Early prevention is the best defense against tick-borne disease.
