🦟 Tick and mosquito season is here — and with it, we’re seeing increasing rates of tick-borne diseases and heartworm across many areas of Canada.

We encourage pet owners to stay informed and keep their pets protected year-round with appropriate parasite prevention.
🐾 We’ve included a helpful interactive map where you can:
✔️ Check the risk level in your area
✔️ View tick and heartworm trends across Canada
✔️ Learn more about regional parasite risks
Be sure to take a look at the map through the link below and contact our clinic if you have questions about the best prevention plan for your pet! 🐶🐱

However, it does not represent the total number of positive tests. Instead, we estimate it represents less....
