🕷️🌲 Manitoba Tick Season Is Here!
Ticks aren't just found deep in the woods—they can be hiding in tall grass, local parks, hiking trails, cottage properties, and even your own backyard.
While not every tick carries disease, some can transmit illnesses such as Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, and Ehrlichiosis. The good news? Prevention is highly effective.
🐾 Help protect your pet by:
✅ Using veterinarian-recommended tick prevention
✅ Checking for ticks after outdoor adventures
✅ Removing ticks promptly and properly
✅ Watching for signs of illness
Be sure to check:
👂 Around the ears
👀 Around the eyes
🦴 Under the collar
🐾 Between the toes
🐕 Under the tail
Remember, ticks can be active whenever temperatures are above freezing—even in early spring and late fall.
Whether you're exploring Manitoba's trails, spending weekends at the lake, or enjoying time in your backyard, a little prevention goes a long way toward keeping your pet healthy and tick-free.
