Tick Protection: What Every Dog Owner Should Know
Ticks carry dangerous diseases including Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis. Year-round protection is essential — not just in summer.
Why Year-Round Tick Protection Matters
Ticks are active whenever the temperature is above 4°C (39°F). In most of the US, this means ticks are a threat 12 months a year. Even in colder regions, indoor heating allows ticks to survive winter indoors. A single tick bite can transmit multiple diseases. Prevention is far cheaper — and safer — than treatment.
