Did you know Minnesota is a high-risk state for ticks, especially the black-legged tick (deer tick) that carries Lyme disease?

Ticks are most active from spring through fall, but can be found anytime temps are above freezing — even in early spring hikes or late fall walks. 🌿❄️

💡Tick Tips:
✔️ Use monthly flea & tick prevention
✔️ Check your pet after time in wooded areas, tall grass, or even your backyard
✔️ Don’t forget hidden spots: ears, between toes, under collars
