Remember to have your pets on flea and tick preventative! This was found on a dog earlier today, at first it appeared to be a piece of dirt stuck to the dog, but when looked at under a microscope, it was really a tick! Ticks come in various sizes and can be picked up in many places, anywhere a wild animal goes, a tick can go with them and then fall off on any plants/grass nearby.
