🐶🌿 Does your pup love rolling around in tall grass? Pure joy for them โ€” and unfortunately, prime real estate for ticks and fleas too!

Make it a habit: after every walk, spend a couple of minutes running your hands over your dog, especially behind the ears, between the toes, in the armpits and around the collar. A small, firm bump that won't brush off is probably a tick 😬. Don't yank it with your fingers โ€” use a tick remover or fine tweezers, grip close to the skin, and pull straight up slowly.

For long-term protection, ask your vet which spot-on, collar or chewable preventive suits your dog's weight, and wash their bedding regularly 🧺
