MAKE TICK CHECKS PART OF PLAYTIME

After your pet’s outdoor adventures, take a few minutes to give them a good tick check. Ticks love to hide in tricky spots like behind the ears, under the collar, between the toes, and around the tail. Get into the habit of doing this daily—it’s like giving them an extra petting session with benefits! The sooner you remove a tick, the lower the chance of it causing any harm.

WATCH FOR WARNING SIGNS

Even with the best prevention, it’s smart to stay aware of symptoms that could mean trouble. Nobody knows your pet like you! If your pet seems unusually tired, stops eating, has a limp, or develops a fever, they might have picked up a tick-borne illness. Acting quickly can make all the difference, so don’t hesitate to reach out to your vet if you notice anything off.
