Summer season is also tick season

Summer is the time for biking, hiking and the blazing of new trails. Many of us enjoy hiking through the woods with our best buddy, the family dog. Not only is hiking a way for us to wind down after a long and stressful work week, it is also an enjoyable way to exercise our pets. What dog can resist chasing a rabbit far into the brush or sitting patiently at the base of a large oak tree just waiting for the chirping squirrel to fall from the end of the branch? Once you return from your venture, be sure to check for ticks on yourself and your pet. TICK BASICS Hpsting a tick is the price dogs or, less commonly, cats may pay for investigating shrubbery, brush or wild undergrowth. Ticks have a four-stage life cycle, and immature ticks often feed on small wild animals found in forests, prairies and brush. Adult ticks seek larger hosts like dogs and cats who venture into these habitats. Tick exposure may be seasonal, depending on geographic location. RISK AND CONSEQUENCES Ticks are most often found around your

dog's neck, in the ears, in the folds between the legs and the body, and between the toes. Cats may have ticks on their neck or face. Tick bites cause skin irritation. Ticks are also capable of spreading serious infectious diseases to the pets and people on which they feed. Disease risk varies by geographic area and tick species. Heavy infestations can cause anemia in pets. TREATMENT AND CONTROL Prompt removal of ticks is very important because it lessens the chance of disease transmission from the tick to your pet. Remove ticks by carefully using tweezers to firmly grip the tick as close to the pet's skin as possible and gently pulling the tick free. After removing the tick, crush it, avoiding contact with tick fluids that can carry disease. Pets that are at risk for ticks should be treated during the tick season with an appropriate tick preventative. Your veterinarian can recommend a product that best suits your pet's needs. Owners who take their pets to tick-prone areas during camping, sporting or hiking trips should examine their pets for ticks immediately on return-
