☀️ Beautiful weather is finally here… and unfortunately, so are the ticks. 🕷️
The tick in this photo fell off a patient just this morning! 😬
As you and your pets enjoy the sunshine this weekend, don’t forget that tick season is already in full swing. Ticks can carry diseases like Lyme, Anaplasmosis, and Ehrlichia — and it only takes one bite to cause problems for both pets and people. There have been sightings of the lone star tick in New England.
A few quick reminders:
🐾 Keep pets on year-round flea & tick prevention
🌿 Check your pets (and yourself!) after hikes, walks, or yard time
🦴 Pay close attention around ears, toes, neck folds, and under collars
☎️ Need prevention refills or recommendations? Give us a call!
Enjoy the gorgeous weekend safely — from all of us at Henniker Veterinary Hospital 💚
