🕷️ Tiny Ticks. Big Problems. Let’s Talk About It.
It’s no secret that tick-borne disease is rampant up here but it still surprises me how many pets (and people) are testing positive.
Both of our dogs have been on tick prevention year-round, and yet each has tested positive for Lyme or Anaplasmosis in the last year. That’s how serious this epidemic has become.
👉 Please ask your local vet to run a tick-borne disease panel at your next visit, even if your pets are on prevention.
👉 Check for ticks daily, especially after time in the woods or grass.
A huge thank you to our amazing local veterinarians who work tirelessly to help our furry family members stay healthy and comfortable. 🐾
