Finding a tick on your dog can be stressful, but acting quickly is important. While not every tick carries disease, some can transmit illnesses such as Lyme disease.
If you find a tick on your pet, give us a call — we’re happy to help! Our clinic offers complimentary tick removals and can guide you on the next steps after exposure 💙
We also recommend a blood test approximately 4 weeks after a tick bite to screen for tick-borne diseases, even if your pet seems completely normal.
Signs to watch for after a tick bite may include:
• Lethargy
• Fever
• Limping or stiffness
• Loss of appetite
• Swollen lymph nodes
