‼️Pet parents!!!!‼️
Even as temperatures drop, 🪲ticks can remain active throughout the fall and on milder winter days!! 🥶
It is important to stay vigilant and continue taking precautions for you and your pets!
We always urge our patients to STAY on flea/ tick and heartworm medications year round INCLUDING the winter months! 💊
🛑Our office sees roughly 10 positive dogs a week for Lyme/ anaplasmosis tick-borne diseases, even throughout the winter. 🦠
Helpful tips:💡
🔴check yourself, your pets& children after coming back inside.
🔴 remove a tick as soon as you find it to help reduce transmitting of Lyme or other tick-borne illnesses.
🔴check closely between toes, behind and in ears, around eyelids, inside groin area.
🔴keep your pet on preventatives!
If you have questions, give our office a call anytime to discuss the best options for your pet and next steps if your pet has an engorged tick🐾🪲
