Rocky Mountain spotted fever and babesiosis are examples of other zoonotic diseases (can be transmitted between humans and animals) that are carried by ticks.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Principles of Tick Prevention <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping your pet on a prescribed parasite preventive (preferably year-round) is the best way to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summeridgeanimalclinic.com\/blog\/springtime-foes-preventing-fleas-ticks-and-other-parasites\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">protect your pet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. We are happy to answer your questions and make recommendations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ticks hang out in shrubs and grasses, waiting for their next blood meal to pass by. Lower your chances of encountering a tick in the following ways:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your pet leashed at all times while walking or hiking. Stick to cleared pathways, and avoid grassy or heavily wooded areas.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make your property less hospitable to ticks by keeping it trimmed and weeded; remove any piles of leaves or debris.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While outdoors, wear light-coloured, long-sleeved shirts and pants to help you spot ticks more easily.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shower or bathe within two hours of being outdoors to help remove ticks before they can attach.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check yourself, your children, and your pet daily for ticks (especially after being outdoors). Pay special attention to the hair\/fur, behind the ears, underarms, waist, between the legs, and behind the knees.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wildlife can also harbor ticks. Do not allow your pet to investigate living or dead animals, and utilize fencing or other barriers to keep wildlife off your property. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper Tick Removal<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you spot a tick on yourself or your pet, proper removal is key: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using tweezers, grip the tick\u2019s body where it\u2019s closest to the skin and pull straight out. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be careful not to squeeze the tick, as this can trigger the release pathogens into the body. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dispose of the tick by drowning it in rubbing alcohol.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have yet to start your pet on a parasite preventive or if you need a refill, please don\u2019t hesitate to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summeridgeanimalclinic.com\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contact us<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tick populations are on the rise in Ontario and across Canada.
