"Between March and May 2025, tick submissions to research laboratories increased by an astounding 217% compared to the same period last year, representing a genuine emergency for pet owners."
"Columbia University researchers discovered that approximately 70% of parks surveyed now harbor disease-carrying ticks, a significant increase from three years ago when only 40% showed tick presence."
"Climate change has created ideal breeding conditions for ticks in New York City, with warmer winters and longer autumns allowing these parasites to thrive nearly year-round."
"Ticks can become active at temperatures as low as 36 degrees, meaning dogs are vulnerable to tick diseases outside traditional tick seasons."
New York City is experiencing a severe tick invasion, posing serious health risks for dogs. Between March and May 2025, tick submissions to research laboratories surged by 217% compared to last year. A study revealed that 70% of surveyed parks now contain ticks capable of transmitting diseases. Climate change has led to warmer temperatures that create optimal conditions for tick reproduction. Ticks can remain active year-round, especially since they can thrive in temperatures as low as 36 degrees, increasing the potential exposure for dogs at all times.
