Is that a speck of dirt? Nope, it’s a tick 🤢

This is a tick we found crawling on one of our patients this afternoon. Luckily, this patient had white fur so we were able to detect it and remove it, but this tick would have been near to impossible to find if the pet had black/brown fur!

Friendly reminder to make sure your pets are on monthly flea/tick prevention, as these lil’ guys have the same disease spreading capabilities as the larger ticks.

We carry Nexgard (chewable option with up to $70 off) in all sizes, and we still have a few doses remaining of the Frontline Gold in certain sizes (40% off!!)

Call us at 319-643-3555 to get your pets protected!

Any dog can bite if provoked. They can bite as a reaction to something, if they’re startled, are scared, aren’t feeling well, or are engaged in play. Socialization and education are keys to dog bite prevention.
