Lyme Disease is on the Rise – Protect Your Dog, Protect Your Family 🐾🦠

This year, our clinic has already diagnosed 34 cases of Lyme disease in unvaccinated dogs—and we continue to see more positive cases every year.

Lyme disease isn’t just dangerous for pets. It’s a zoonotic disease, which means it also threatens people—including children. Infected ticks carried into the home on a pet can put the entire family at risk.

🐕 In dogs, Lyme disease can cause lasting joint pain, kidney damage, and serious illness.
👨‍👩‍👧 In people, especially children, it can lead to fever, fatigue, painful arthritis, and long-term complications if left untreated.

The good news? Lyme vaccination and year-round tick prevention are highly effective at protecting your pet and reducing the risk for your household.

✅ Safeguard your dog’s health.
✅ Reduce tick exposure in your home.
✅ Protect your family and children from this growing threat.

📅 Call us today to schedule your dog’s Lyme vaccination appointment—and help stop Lyme disease in its tracks.
