🕷️🐾 Tick season is here — and prevention is more important than ever. 🐾🕷️

Ticks are more than just a nuisance. These tiny pests can carry diseases that may affect both pets and people, and we start seeing them much more this time of year.

Because ticks can be easy to miss in your pet’s fur, prevention is the best defense.

Signs of tick-related illness can include:
• Lethargy
• Fever
• Loss of appetite
• Limping or joint pain

Keeping your pet on a reliable flea and tick preventive helps protect them so they can safely enjoy all the outdoor adventures that come with warmer weather. ☀️🐶🐱

🏕️🐾 Adventure Season is Here — and June is National Pet Preparedness Month! 🐾🏕️

With warmer weather, many pets are joining their families for hiking, camping, road trips, and outdoor adventures. While everyone hopes for smooth travels, it’s always smart to be prepared for emergencies.

A few things we recommend keeping in a pet emergency kit:

✔️ Extra food & water
✔️ Medications
✔️ Leash/harness
✔️ Copy of vaccine records
✔️ Bandage material/basic first aid items
✔️ Emergency contact numbers
✔️ A recent photo of your pet

A little preparation can make a huge difference if an emergency happens away from home.
