Ticks are still very active, even with the recent snowfall! One of our patients recently had a tick removed and sent for testing, coming back POSTIVE for the Lyme bacteria. We continue to have reports of ticks in the area, specifically Black Legged (Deer) Ticks, the species that can carry Lyme disease. Deer Ticks prefer the cool weather of fall and spring, and aren't put off by frost or a single snowfall. If the temperature at ground level is 0C or warmer, ticks are active! We strongly recommend year-long tick prevention, especially if you and your dog spend time in forests, trails or fields. Contact us today to pick up your pet's tick prevention!
