National Tick Awareness Month

Colder weather and higher risk?
Tick-borne diseases are spreading in Canada…and our cold
winters aren’t helping!

New Canadian research shows that when a Blacklegged tick is
infected with the Lyme disease bacteria it may be more likely to
be active on mild days during the colder months AND more
likely to survive cold weather compared to uninfected ticks!

03/24/2024

Easter closure notice! 🐰 🐣

03/19/2024

National Tick Awareness Month

Did you know….

About 1 in 5 of Blacklegged ticks you encounter in Canada could
be carrying the bacteria that causes Lyme disease! This number
can be even higher in known risk areas!

It is important to protect your pet and yourself, even when you
might think it’s “too cold for ticks”! Call us to discuss the best tick
control options for your pet and visit www.ticktalkcanada.com to
learn more about the risks in your province.

National Tick Awareness Month

Did you know….

Blacklegged ticks (the ones that can transmit the Lyme disease
bacteria) can survive freezing temperatures? One way is that
they create their own “anti-freeze” that helps them tolerate the
cold!

However, a new study showed that when they are infected with
certain bacteria, like the one that causes Lyme disease, they may
be even BETTER at surviving our cold winters! Call us to discuss
the best tick control options for your pet.

03/12/2024

National Tick Awareness Month

Did you know…

That instead of making them weaker, infection with tick-borne
pathogens (like the one that causes Lyme disease) can make
ticks stronger!? That’s too weird!

National Tick Awareness Month

We might not think ticks can be active when it’s cold outside...
But they are! Regardless of the time of year it is important to
remain vigilant and recognize that ticks may still pose a risk to
pets and people.

Use this link to get a 2-week “tick risk forecast”, or look to see
what days in the last 12 months could have had potential tick
activity. And as always, give us a call to discuss how
best to protect your pet.

Ticks can be active even in colder weather. Check our Tickmaps to see the potential tick activity in your area in Canada.

National Tick Awareness Month

Tick control may be needed when you least expect it.
Ticks can be active even if there is still snow of the ground…and
the ticks that are joining you when you are out on those mild
winter days could pose the greatest risk! Make sure your pet is
protected. Give us a call to talk about the best way to
protect your pet.
