⚠️ Tick Season Advice ⚠️
Warmer weather means ticks are out in full force! You can protect your furry friends with these simple steps:
✅ Daily Checks: Get into the habit of checking your pet for small, pea-sized lumps after every walk. Pay extra attention to the ears, head, neck, armpits, and between the toe
✅ Preventative Care: Consistent, vet-approved parasite protection is the most effective way to keep your pet safe
✅ Safe Removal: If you find a tick, don’t panic! Use a proper tick-removal tool to twist it off. Avoid burning or using lotions, which can be ineffective or harmful.
