🕷️ TICK SEASON IS HERE! 🐾
With warmer weather comes an increased risk of paralysis ticks, which can be life-threatening to our pets.
Regular tick prevention is one of the best ways to protect your furry family members. We also recommend checking your pet daily, especially after they’ve been outdoors.
🔎 Signs of tick paralysis can include:
Wobbliness or weakness, particularly in the back legs
A change in their bark or meow
Difficulty swallowing or excessive drooling
Gagging, coughing or vomiting
Retching or regurgitation
Rapid or difficult breathing
Collapse or inability to stand
🚨 If you suspect your pet has a paralysis tick or is showing any of these signs, contact us immediately. Tick paralysis can progress quickly and can be fatal without urgent veterinary treatment.
💊 We stock a range of tick prevention options to suit you and your pet, including:
🐾 Chews
🐾 Spot-ons
🐾 Yearly injections
🔍 Remember to check your pet daily for ticks, especially around the ears, neck, between the toes and under the collar.
❤️ Prevention is key!
