It's time for some straight "Tick Talk" with your furry family members! 🐾
These tiny parasites pack a serious punch when it comes to Lyme disease transmission, but knowledge is your best defense. Ticks are most active during warm months (April-September) but can remain a threat year-round in many regions.
They hide in tall grass, leaf litter, and wooded areas—often hitching rides on pets during outdoor adventures. A single tick bite can transmit Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, leading to fever, lameness, and potential organ damage in untreated pets.
With regular preventatives, thorough tick checks after outdoor activities, and strategic yard maintenance, you've got powerful protection on your side. Remember that symptoms may take 2-5 months to appear, making prevention absolutely crucial!
Don't let these unwelcome hitchhikers threaten your pet's health—have the important "Tick Talk" with us about the most effective prevention plan for your four-legged companions.
