As outdoor activities resume with warmer weather, pet owners must be vigilant about tick bites, which can lead to severe diseases like Lyme disease and babesiosis. Ticks, often found in woodlands and grasslands, are most active in the spring and summer. They’re small and can vary in color, but typically are brown or white, becoming dark and larger post-feeding. Symptoms of Lyme disease in pets can appear weeks later, manifesting as appetite loss and lethargy, and can lead to severe conditions. Regular tick checks on pets after outdoor excursions are crucial for prevention.
Ticks are common in woodland and grassland areas, particularly during spring and summer, and can carry dangerous bacteria and parasites that affect pets.
Early signs of Lyme disease in dogs include a lack of appetite, weight loss, and lethargy; symptoms can appear weeks or months post-bite.
