Tick Talk
March is national tick awareness month. Letโs start a conversation. #TICKTALK
This is a Great Dane named Lincoln. He weighs a whopping 167 pounds! He loves getting his treats when he comes to visit. We had to catch a slow mo of his mad skills ๐๐พ
These ticks were found on a Great Pyrenees dog in the Spruce Grove and Rivervalley area on January 9th. Regardless of the cold temperatures they are still around.
They will be sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Toot Toot having some morning fun playing with his Kong Curlz Teaser wand. These kittens are almost 4 months old. Help us find them a home! ๐พ๐โค๏ธ
Two of our clinic's staff dogs; Blaze & Smash taking a break and cooling off in their very own doggie pool. Enjoy your day!
Another tick found this morning from an English Bulldog. It is tick season. Please contact the office for recommendations on tick prevention and control for the season.
*Update* This tick tested Negative for Lyme disease * Today a Elkhound dog from the Edmonton rural country area came in with a tick attached to the skin. The tick was feeding and fully engorged.
Dr. Harris removed the tick with a proper removing tool and leveraged straight upwards so the ticks head came out of the skin and did not give the tick the chance to regurgitate its stomach contents.
See the video below of the tick that was removed. We are sending it into the Government of Alberta to get tested for disease.
A little fun in the back at lunch with Ava, Smash & Madi!
