Fall is tick season on Beaver Island, and this year's numbers show it. Of the dogs we tested in clinic, 1 in 3 was positive for anaplasmosis and 1 in 10 for Lyme. Deer ticks stay active until the snow sticks. Protect your dog with Bravecto (one chew, 12 weeks) or Credelio Quattro (monthly, also covers heartworm and intestinal worms). For double protection, add Vectra 3D topical to repel ticks before they bite. All three are 10% off through November 30. Call 231-448-2572 or stop by the Powers Hardware counter. In stock here, no waiting on the mail. (Vectra 3D is for dogs only, never cats.)
