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. 🐶💚
