Did you know that Ticks are active in our environment at all temperatures above +4°C (even when there is still snow on the ground)?

This means our tick season in Northern Alberta can start as early as March and go until November. During these months it is highly recommended to use flea and tick prevention on both dogs and cats.

It is important that you get flea and tick prevention from a reputable source, such as the vet clinic, to ensure that they are the correct doses and medications, as some products can be toxic to our furry friends if dosed incorrectly or given to the wrong type of animals.

If you find a tick on your pet, it is suggested to bring the tick into the vet clinic so it can be analyzed to see if it is a carrier of Lyme Disease (this is a free service)

06/28/2023
