April is Lyme Disease Prevention Month. As we know in West County, it's a tick haven out here. Keeping your pet on effective monthly tick control will keep the buggers out of your home and protect your pet against tick-borne diseases. Consider Lyme vaccination for your dog and ask us which tick preventatives are most effective for our area. Not all are created equal!
