The risk of Lyme disease in Canada is growing.
The third layer of tick protection is to discuss whether Lyme disease vaccination
is right for your dog. As we have reviewed this month, it is important to be
aware of when ticks are active and avoid locations where ticks can be found.
If you can’t avoid them, make sure to do a tick check on your pet after being in
those areas. Remove ticks promptly if they are found. In addition to awareness
and avoidance, practicing uninterrupted tick control with a veterinary-approved
product further reduces risk.
Finally, Lyme vaccinations are available for dogs. Your veterinarian is the best
resource to determine if this vaccine is right for your dog.

Gaps in protection open the door for ticks!
The second layer of tick protection includes using a veterinary approved tick
control medication throughout the tick risk period.
Tick control medications only work if they are given! We all know this is true, but
life is busy and sometimes we forget to remember! It is important to administer
your veterinary-approved tick control medication as directed by your veterinarian
for the entire tick risk activity period. Gaps in protection open the door for ticks!
Call your veterinary clinic to discuss the best tick control options for your pet and
