An educational infographic by Rainbow Tails Dog Walks & Pet Care titled "Don't Panic about pest prevention!" The graphic features a map of Michigan showing high risk for Lyme disease across most counties. It includes three key facts: ticks become active in temperatures above 32°F, they hide under snow and leaf litter for insulation, and they can survive freezing temperatures as low as -7°F. A section on "home tick checks" lists areas to pay special attention to on pets: around the collar/neck, under arms/across the belly, between the toes, tail base, ears and around eyes, and lips/chin area. The bottom text advises contacting a veterinarian for specific parasite prevention recommendations.
Ticks don’t take seasons off, and monthly veterinary-prescribed prevention is best when it‘s given consistently to reduce the chance of bringing hitchhikers home. Check out this helpful graphic for more tips to keep your pet tick-free!
