❗️Ticks Cross Borders
It is Memorial Day holiday weekend in the US. We may not share all the same holidays but we DO share ticks. We KNOW ticks don't recognize borders.
We did a little digging and have recorded the number of confirmed tick-borne disease cases in DOGS ONLY, from each province and each bordering state.
These numbers are estimated to represent approximately 30% of actual cases.
🚩Research has shown that dogs are great indicators of the risks of ticks in their areas. Our dogs can't be the only ones contracting tick-borne diseases...

*The data was provided by IDEXX Laboratories and ANTECH Diagnostics. It is statistically significant and it serves as a strong representation of the parasite activity for each area. However, it does not represent the total number of positive tests. Instead, we estimate it represents less than 30% of the activity in the geographic regions.
