🐾Tick season is here… and those little pests are already out in full force. 🕷️🙀
Did you know ticks can carry diseases that affect both pets and people? The good news is there are simple ways to help protect your pup this season:
🩺 Stay current on flea & tick prevention
🔍 Check your dog after walks, hikes, or outdoor play
🐾Pay extra attention around ears, paws, collars, and underbelly
🌱 Keep grass trimmed and avoid tall brush when possible
Some common signs of tick-related illness can include:
• lethargy
• limping or stiffness
• loss of appetite
• fever
At HSSW, we always closely monitor the dogs in our care and make sure they are up to date on all preventative care. Looking to get your pup up to date as well? HSSW is happy to offer low-cost vaccines and wellness services to the community every Monday and Friday from 10 am – 5 pm. These services include routine care such as vaccines, exams, heartworm tests, nail trims, preventative care and more!
