Tis the season for these little suckers to start making their miserable appearance again! π§ββοΈ
Although we can see ticks all year round, the life cycle of most tick species involve them emerging in their larval, nymph, and adult stages in the springtime.
It's worth checking whether or not your pet's parasite treatment covers them for ticks, especially given their risk of infecting pets and people with Lymes disease.
It's also worth being super vigilant in checking your pets for ticks after walks or being outside. Ticks can be found anywhere on your pet, but it's a good idea to double check in between toes, around the face, and behind ears.
If you do happen to find a tick, they can be removed using a tick removing tool, or one of our qualified nurses can remove them for you. We advise not to use tweezers when removing ticks as their heads may be left behind, which can still transmit disease and cause irritation.
