Tick season is here 🐾🌿
As the weather warms up, ticks are becoming more active—and I’ve already started seeing them on dogs coming into the shop.
Here are a few quick tips to keep your pup safe:
• Use a vet-recommended tick preventative (topical, oral, or collar options are available)
• Check your dog daily, especially after walks or time in tall grass or wooded areas
• Pay close attention to ears, under collars, armpits, and between toes
• Keep your yard trimmed and minimize brush where ticks like to hide
If you do find a tick, remove it promptly with tweezers, getting as close to the skin as possible, and clean the area well afterward.
At Mulhern Grooming Co., I always keep an eye out for ticks during appointments—but prevention at home is key!
