There is always one true inner voice. More and more of our clients are telling us how bad the ticks are this year. We are also seeing a lot of ticks on the dogs and cats we treat. Ticks present potential risks to humans as well as to our pets and their presence should not be taken lightly. Ticks are most active from May through August, with peak activity in July.
Ticks usually attach themselves to long grass to await a passing animal or human.
There are several good collars that inhibit ticks from attaching onto your pet. We can suggest the right one for your pet. Some sprays and repellents are available to keep ticks off your pets. Ask us for your suggestions as to what is best for your pet. A Lyme disease vaccine is available for dogs.
