We are diagnosing a lot of Lyme Disease (and other tick-borne diseases). Even indoor pets can be exposed if you inadvertently bring a tick inside on your shoes or clothes. Make sure your pet is tested and protected! Ask us how!

Lyme disease and Ehrlichiosis are bacterial infections transmitted through the bite of an infected tick and can infect both dogs and their families. . People cannot catch Lyme disease or Ehrlichiosis directly from an infected dog, but the same ticks that bite dogs can also bite humans. This means that if there are infected dogs in an area, there are infected ticks that may transmit disease to humans.

As we head into summer and spend more time outdoors with our pets, talk to your local veterinarian about testing for tick-borne diseases and year-round tick-prevention. Pet owners should be diligent about checking for ticks after spending time outdoors. Both Lyme and Ehrlichiosis are treatable with antibiotics if identified early.

Pet Disease Alert’s 30-Day Pet Parasite Forecast Maps help pet owners visualize high-risk areas for Lyme and Ehrlichiosis, and also serve as an early-warning system for areas of emerging risk. If dogs test positive in an area for Lyme or Ehrlichiosis, then humans are at increased risk too. The 30-Day Pet Parasite Forecasts are updated monthly so pet owners can see the risks at home and across the country before they occur.

View forecasts for your area at https://petdiseasealerts.org/forecast-map/ #/

You can also get local prevalence data on tick-borne diseases in your area using CAPC's Parasite Prevalence maps https://capcvet.org/maps/ #/2022/all-year/lyme-disease/dog/united-states
