Scales Tails & Paws Pet Sitting & Dog Walking

Have you noticed how bad ticks are this year?

Or maybe you’ve heard someone say, “Wow… ticks are REALLY bad this season.”

We are seeing an increase in ticks and tick exposure in dogs, and with that comes an increased risk of tick-borne diseases like:

• Lyme Disease
• Anaplasmosis
• Ehrlichiosis

These diseases can cause symptoms such as:
🐾 Lethargy
🐾 Fever
🐾 Limping or joint pain
🐾 Loss of appetite
🐾 Vomiting or diarrhea
🐾 Low platelet counts and other serious health concerns

Some dogs may show very subtle signs at first, while others can become seriously ill if left untreated.

That’s why:
✔️ Year-round tick prevention is so important
✔️ Annual heartworm/tick-borne disease screening helps detect infections early
✔️ Routine wellness testing can help keep your dog healthy and protected

Be sure to check your pets for ticks after spending time outdoors and talk with your veterinary team about the best prevention options for your dog.

Prevention today can help avoid serious illness tomorrow. 🐶💚

Some goodbyes are harder than others. Edie has been part of our Scales Tails & Paws family for years — a midday regular with the sweetest soul and just enough sass to keep things interesting. She knows her mind, she owns her walk, and she has absolutely stolen our hearts. As she and her family get ready to start their next chapter, we're sending them off with so much love — and more than a few tears. We'll miss you, Edie girl. 🐾💗

Meet Athena. 🖤

One ear up, one ear down — and 100% unbothered about it.
This sweet senior lab mix has overnights with our sitter Vyn down to a science: a little yard time, a lot of napping, and maximum cuddles. No long walks required. Athena knows exactly what she likes, and honestly? Same.

There's something so special about caring for a dog who's completely at home in her own space. Our job with seniors like Athena isn't to change their routine — it's to show up for it. Vyn does exactly that, every single time.

Senior dogs deserve sitters who get them. 🐾
