March…National Tick Awareness Month

March is national tick awareness month.

Did you know that ticks are now well established in our area? They become active in our environment as soon as the temperature hits 4°C. Ticks can transmit diseases while feeding on humans or animals. The best time to start protecting your pet is before exposure.

Don’t hesitate to contact us for any additional information. Whether it is for an exam, a screening test, vaccination or parasite prevention (for ticks, fleas, intestinal parasites or heartworm), we are here to help you protect your pet.
