Episode Details

Ticks, tiny parasites prevalent across the US, pose serious health risks to dogs through diseases like Lyme and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Dogs are easy targets due to their low-ground behavior and year-round activity of ticks, especially in warmer regions. Common tick species include the Lone Star, American dog, black-legged deer, and brown dog ticks. Regular tick checks and prompt removal are crucial for prevention. Vet-approved products offer protection, but consult your vet for the best fit. Research is ongoing to combat resistance and develop new vaccines.
