With the temperature now warming up for spring make sure you and your pets are protected against ticks and fleas!

Tick populations are increasing in Canada and can have an affect on both you and your pets.  Ticks can be found in tall grass or wooded areas and seek out their hosts and attach themselves once they find one.

Ticks are known to carry various kinds of diseases that are transmissible to humans, they can include, but are not limited to, the following:

Lyme disease

Babesiosois

Ehrlichiosis
