What's New

Lyme Disease, or Borreliosis, is a tick-borne bacterial disease that can cause harm to humans and our companion animals. They prey on the blood of dogs, horses, deer, birds, rodents, and people.

Ticks live in cracks and crevices in the home or outside in vegetation, such as grassy meadows, woods, brush, and weeds. They cannot fly or jump, but they have a way of finding a host.

Clinical signs of Lyme disease in pets include loss of appetite, lameness, lethargy, and fever. Lyme disease also affects the heart, brain and kidneys. Scientists believe the disease can affect humans causing problems to the joints, heart, and central nervous system.

You can protect yourself and loved ones by routinely checking your pets after they have been outdoors, especially if they have been in areas with tall grass and brush. Brush your dog after each outing. If a tick is attached you can remove the tick with tweezers by slowly pulling back to ease out the tick’s mouthparts. Wash the bite area and your hands immediately.
