Fall is an important time for parasite protection. We see flea infestations peak in the fall and blacklegged (deer) ticks are out looking for a host when its 4° C and above, no matter the season. In Southwestern Ontario, October and November are high risk months to encounter blacklegged ticks. Blacklegged ticks can transmit the bacteria that causes Lyme disease and Anaplasmosis to you and your pet. Let’s keep your pet protected from ticks and the diseases they can carry.
AT BINBROOK ANIMAL HOSPITAL WE HAVE HAD 6 NEW POSITIVE TESTS FOR LYME
DISEASE AND 2 NEW POSITIVE TESTS FOR ANAPLASMOSIS IN 2024.
