Tick borne diseases are a significant year-round concern for our pets.

This is why we recommend year-round parasite protection.

Tick Expert Interviewed on Record Tick-Borne Illness Cases

Griffin Dill, who manages the UMaine Cooperative Extension Tick Lab, recently spoke with NEWS CENTER Maine about the state reporting a record number of tick-borne disease cases in 2025.

According to Dill, Maine set new records for Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis cases,an important reminder that tick awareness and prevention remain critical across the state.

Our Tick Lab continues to support Maine residents through tick identification, testing, and research-based education to help reduce risk.
