🐾 Lyme Disease is a Growing Concern on Long Island 🦌🕷️
Did you know that Long Island is one of the highest-risk areas for tick-borne diseases? Every year we diagnose dogs with Lyme disease—many of whom never showed their owners a tick.
The good news? Lyme disease is largely preventable.
✅ Year-round flea & tick prevention helps reduce the risk of tick bites.
💉 Lyme vaccination provides an extra layer of protection for dogs that spend time outdoors or live in high-risk areas.
🩺 Annual Lyme testing allows us to detect exposure early, even before your pet appears sick.
Lyme disease can lead to:
• Fever
• Lethargy
• Lameness or shifting leg pain
• Swollen joints
• In rare cases, serious kidney disease
Prevention is always easier—and less costly—than treating the disease.
If your dog isn’t currently on flea and tick prevention, hasn’t received a Lyme vaccine, or is due for annual testing, we’re here to help.
