I went for a hike with my dogs down in Connecticut last weekend. After a short hour hike, I stopped by the car to do a simple tick inspection. I pulled 8 off my biggest dog. So, I thought it might be helpful to provide some information about your pets and ticks.
Ticks basically appear when the cold weather goes away.
They are most popular in the spring, mid summer, and in areas with a regular rainy season. Ticks latch on to your pets to find warmth and more importantly to feast of their blood. Ticks typically find their prey by dropping down from a tree or grab a ride on your pet's paws as they pass by. Therefore, it is important that you follow these guidelines below. Scan your dog's body for ticks.
