I remember when Keira got her first tick. It was three years ago. I couldn’t believe I had missed it. It was right on the top of her head! I totally freaked out! It was a fully engorged, disgusting Brown Dog Tick. My veterinarian recommended I wait six weeks, and then bring Keira in for her annual Heartworm and Lyme test. It was an agonizing six weeks. I was relieved when she tested negative for Lyme disease, but I couldn’t believe she even had a tick in the first place. Are there really ticks in the Ottawa Valley? How can I prevent ticks from biting my dogs?
In denial: The unfortunate truth about fleas that you may
be ignoring
Alright pet parents- are you ready to hate me? Because I’m
about to tell you something that I have told many pet parents in the past and
to my surprise it almost always elicits a furious or begrudging reaction. I’m
about to talk about fleas right now so grab your pitch forks and torches.
It has happened to me so many times- good hearted, loving
pet parents with only the best intentions for their pets making statements like
“my cat has never had fleas in its life and my neighbor's cat has been around
the yard and NOW she has fleas!” or “my dog has NEVER had fleas and since I
went to the dog park with that new dog he has them!”
