Is it really already Spring?! While it might still be cold ticks are already out looking for hosts to feed on. Don’t let that host be your dog. Most ticks become active between 0°C and 4°C. Your veterinarian is there for you, so call to discuss how you can protect your dog from ticks as well as other parasites in your environment like fleas, heartworm, roundworm and hookworms.

Five common tick species in North America include:
• The Lone Star tick (Amblyomma americanum)
• The American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis)
• The Deer tick/Blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis)
• The Brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus)
• The Gulf Coast tick (Amblyomma maculatum)

And yes, we know that’s a mosquito! Heartworm is spread by mosquitoes that transmit heartworm from dog to dog.

Please make sure dog p**p goes into these containers.
Some people are still using the garbage cans to throw away their dog p**p bags - which just ends up in landfill, it leaches into the water and soil, requires a city staff to physically lift/empty.

The Sutera bins isolate large volumes of dog f***s safely over extended duration without risk to people or surrounding environment... also gets converted into energy from waste and avoids landfill.

This program started because dog p**p is by far the largest contaminant of Park recycling throughout the city. Let's take advantage

Although Premier Ford has announced the reopening of dog parks on May 19 Brampton in its wisdom has decided to keep the dog parks closed.
