🚨 Tick Alert for Our Area 🚨
Ticks are out in full force, and tick-borne illnesses are on the rise in our area. With all the tall grass, woods, fields, and backyard exploring our dogs love so much, it’s more important than ever to stay on top of prevention.
A few simple things can make a big difference:
🐾 Use a vet-approved flea and tick preventative
🐾 Check your dog after walks, hikes, potty breaks, and playtime
🐾 Pay extra attention to ears, under collars, between toes, armpits, bellies, and around the tail
🐾 Keep grass and brush trimmed around your yard
🐾 Remove ticks promptly and safely
🐾 Call your vet if you notice fever, limping, lethargy, loss of appetite, swelling, or anything unusual after a tick bite
As groomers, we do our best to watch for ticks during appointments, but prevention really starts at home. A quick once-over after outside time can help protect your dog and catch problems early.
Stay safe, check those pups, and don’t forget — ticks are gross little jerks. 🕷️🐶
