are able to spread
serious diseases, such as
Lyme disease.
It?s important to
remember that not every
tick is infected and not
every bite will transmit
disease, however, it?s
sensible to try and
reduce the number of
tick bites that your pet
receives. There are a
number of options
available to prevent tick
bites so please come and
have a chat with us
about what?s best for
you and your pet.
We also advise regularly
checking your pet for
ticks as infection
becomes more likely the
longer a tick remains
attached. Stroking your
pet is a good time to
search for any ticks. If
you find one, the best
way to remove it is using
a tick hook (not fingers,
and without applying
anything to the tick
itself) to pull firmly until
it comes out. If you have
any problems, you can
always bring your pet in
to us and we can help
remove it for you.
