the ticks roll on

so I went to the movies, as I got into the car, a tick was crawling on my arm. Yuck...don't forget..continue to check your pets.

The tick saga continues

These ticks are smaller than a watermelon seed.

this tubfull of small seed ticks can kill a 20 lb pet in 72 hours by making them so anemic they cannot live. It takes frontline 48 hours to kill ticks.

It is extremely important to check your outdoor pets very carefully every day. All it takes is one nest of these.

as we discussed previously, ticks are here...they are not going away yet. We have had several cases of extreme tick attacks, and not just on the pets. Check these pictures out.

School is around the corner and so are the busses

It is nice to know that your pet will follow you to the bus stop, but it is very risky for your pet. Many drivers are rushing to get to work and may not always be paying attention. Keep your pet at home when you leave, that way you know that your pet will be waiting for you when you get back from school.

Ticks...not just a pretty face

 The ticks are out to win the war. It seems that we have had more ticks for a longer period of time this summer than ever before.

 Ticks are more prevalent than previous years due to the increase in deer population. Ticks also bring the rickettsial diseases such as Lymes. Lymes can cause so many problems that often we attribute to colds, but no...it's that parasite.

Stay tuned for more.
