Tick Prevention
The Rising Threat of Ticks
Spotting the Signs of Tick-Borne Illness in Your Pet
Ticks are spreading rapidly, showing up in regions where pets and people rarely encountered them before. These tiny parasites are more than just irritating, they can transmit dangerous and sometimes fatal diseases like Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, and tick paralysis. If your pet shows symptoms such as coughing, fever, weakness, loss of appetite, joint pain, or difficulty breathing, moving, or maintaining coordination, contact GardenBrooke Vets right away for prompt care.

Tips for Tick Removal and Prevention
What to Do If You Spot a Tick on Your Pet
If you find a tick on your pet, don’t worry, even pets on preventives can occasionally pick them up. Many preventives work by killing ticks shortly after they make contact. Since ticks can easily hide beneath your pet’s fur, it’s a good habit to check your dog or cat after every outdoor adventure. Regular inspections help catch ticks early and reduce the risk of disease. If you’re unsure how to remove a tick safely or want expert guidance, our team is always here to help.
