Ticks are back in Ohio! 🌳
Now that the leaves are green and the weather is warming up here in Ohio, it’s the perfect time to get outdoors with our dogs. However, spring also means tick season is officially in full swing.
Ticks love to hide in tall grass and wooded areas, waiting for a passing pup. To keep your furry companions safe and healthy, we recommend a few simple steps:
Daily Tick Checks: After every walk or outdoor session, run your hands over your dog's body. Pay close attention to "hidden" spots like under the collar, inside ears, between toes, and under the legs.
Preventative Care: Make sure your dog is up to date on their flea and tick preventatives. If you aren't sure which one is best, your vet can help you choose the right fit.
Keep the Yard Tidy: Keeping your grass mowed and clearing away brush piles can help reduce the tick population around your home.
