🚩🌳We are seeing a rise in tick borne blood diseases here @ OAH (& in MI overall)🌳🚩 There are many diseases your pet can contract from a single tick bite. Attached are maps representing the most common tick borne blood diseases we see in 2026 so far. As a gold standard practice, OAH wants to offer the best products to protect your beloved pets. Our newly recommended all-in-1 prevention for dogs is Credelio Quattro. Studies have found that this is the most effective product for ticks, killing them off before diseases are transmitted. This product has the longest half-life, ensuring that our pets are still protected @ day 30. OAH is offering a 1st free dose (though every dog is different & we may have a different recommended product for your pup!). If you have any questions or are interested in seeing if this product is suited for your pup, please reach out to us at 616-396-7420.

The prevalence map are taken from capcvet.org
