Warmer weather is here! Ticks can be active whenever the temperature is consistently above freezing, and the ground isn’t covered by snow. You’re most likely to encounter ticks during the spring, summer and fall. However, when conditions are favourable ticks can be active at any time of the year.
If your pet isn’t protected, chat with us about year-round tick prevention.
