Greetings!
Warmer weather and sunshine is making a comeback this time of year. Along with warmer weather, come ticks, fleas, mosquitoes and seasonal allergies. Ticks are the earliest headache. |

Tick Season
Be sure to start your pet's tick and flea control this month. Experts feel this could be a record tick season due to weather patterns and the increase of the deer and wildlife in our neighborhoods. Ticks can transmit Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Erhrlichiosis, and other diseases to pets and people! Your dog should be tested every year for these diseases plus heartworm disease.
Suburban checks for those diseases by performing the 4Dx blood test at your dogs annual exam. If you have deer in your neighborhood, live in a wooded area or near tall brush or if you take your dog for walks, hikes, camp or travel... your pet is at risk! For more information about tickborn diseases and how to remove a tick, visit Tick diseases or Tick Removal. |
