The 2026 CAPC forecast tells a different story depending on where you practice.

In Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia — Lyme risk is expanding faster than almost anywhere else in the country. In the Mountain West — Colorado, Wyoming, Montana — heartworm is showing up in places most vets wouldn't expect. In the Southeast and Southwest — ehrlichiosis risk remains high, and it's spreading north.

Wherever you are, the county-level forecast is free and worth five minutes of your time before peak season hits.

Two free tools worth bookmarking:
📍 County-level prevalence maps and annual forecasts: capcvet.org
📍 Monthly 30-day local forecasts and daily flea forecasts: petdiseasealerts.org
