This photo shows a severe case of tick infestation, a harsh reminder of how critical it is to protect our pets and animals from these harmful parasites. Ticks are not just a nuisance; they can transmit dangerous diseases like Lyme disease, babesiosis, and ehrlichiosis, posing serious risks to both animals and humans.

Prevention is key. Make sure to regularly check your pets, especially if they spend time outdoors in grassy or wooded areas. Use vet-recommended tick prevention treatments, keep your yard clean and mowed, and consult your vet if you notice ticks on your pet.

If your pet has a tick infestation like this, don’t try to remove them all at once without guidance. Incorrect removal can leave parts of the tick behind, leading to infection. Instead, seek professional help immediately to ensure safe and complete removal.
