Ticks don’t exactly RSVP before showing up 🐾🌿
In the last few years, ticks have become far more common in urban Toronto neighbourhoods, including Liberty Village, Queen West, Canary District and the Distillery District. That means pets don’t necessarily have to venture far outside the city to encounter them.
Ticks can be picked up in tall grass, trails, parks, backyards and other everyday outdoor spaces, which is why a quick tick check after walks is such a good habit.
Run your hands over your pet’s coat and pay extra attention around the ears, under the collar, between the toes, around the legs and under the tail. Tick prevention can also be an important part of your pet’s routine, and recommendations can vary based on their lifestyle and exposure.
