Tick Prevention

Ticks are increasingly common across North America, and they are appearing in regions where both people and pets have not previously faced tick issues. These parasites can pose serious risks, leading to illnesses such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, and tick paralysis, which can be fatal. If your pet exhibits symptoms like coughing, joint pain, difficulty breathing, fever, weakness, or a decrease in appetite, weight, energy, or coordination, please reach out to us immediately.

To safeguard your pet from ticks, ensure they are on a tick preventive treatment. Even pets that stay indoors are vulnerable, as ticks can easily be brought inside on your clothing or shoes. Tick preventives are not only effective but also safe for controlling ticks and the diseases they may transmit. Contact us today to get your pet protected!

If you discover a tick on your dog or cat, remain calm—even if your pet is using a preventive. Some tick preventives work by killing ticks after they have made contact with your pet. Ticks can conceal themselves under your pet’s fur, so we advise checking for ticks every time your pet comes in from outside as an extra precaution. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions you may have.
