March 24th - 30th is Tick Bite Prevention week. Ticks are external parasites that can get on you and your pets. They burrow their heads into your skin to drink you blood. When doing this, they can spread many diseases such as Lyme, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Ehrlichiosis, Anaplasmosis, and Babesiosis. It is highly important to keep your pets on tick prevention year round. Ticks do not go away in the fall/winter months in Tennessee as it does not get cold enough during those seasons.
If your pet isn't on prevention, go ahead and give us a call to get an exam and prevention to keep your pet healthy and protected!
