Tick season has begun, and we have already seen two tick specimens brought into the clinic this week. This is a great reminder that ticks are active and pets are at risk.

The photo shown is of one of the ticks that was photographed and submitted to eTick for expert identification.

We recommend ensuring your pets are on appropriate tick prevention and checking them regularly, especially after spending time outdoors.

Alberta is host to several species of tick-and not all these ticks carry Lyme disease. E-tick is a free, online platform who's goal is to track the emergence of Lyme disease. If you find a tick on yourself or your pet we highly encourage you to save the tick, send in a photo for identification and keep the tick until it has been identified. In some cases they will ask you to send your tick in for further testing.
