Prevent Lyme Disease in Your Pets

  • Conduct daily pet checks. Check pets for ticks after each outing, especially between toes, around eyes and ears, and skin folds.
  • Pull off the ticks you find carefully. Use thin-tipped tweezers or forceps and grasp where mouthparts enter the skin.
  • Walk your pets in the center of trails to avoid overhanging brush. Picture of dog in open area
  • Use a veterinary tick-control product.
  • Use flea and tick collars.
