Happy 4th of July! Gorgeous day in the Burgh to enjoy!

KEEP YOUR PETS SAFE! It’s best to leave them at home. If you are taking them with you, make sure they are leashed and have ID. This is the time of year most dogs goes missing. Play it safe - exercise your dog and crate them at home with relaxing music to drown out the sounds, then go to the festivities without them.

Your weekly tick report is here! Here's a helpful tip: if you have a play area in your backyard, keep it at least 9 feet away from the wood's edge and try to increase the amount of sunlight on it! Ticks prefer dark, damp environments; increasing the amount of sunlight in your yard will help decrease the number of ticks!
Found a tick? Act quick! Send it to us for testing! Visit ticklab.org/test-my-tick to order your test.

The longer a tick is attached, the more likely you are to develop a tickborne illness. Perform regular tick checks after being outside to ensure that ticks are removed as soon as possible! If you find an engorged tick, send it in for testing! Visit ticklab.org/test-my-tick to learn more!

Watching some of my buddies autocross race after a three mile walk. The dogs were great just hanging out. Reminiscing about the good old days . . . when I used to race with these guys. Gosh, I miss those days. Life changes so much over the years.
