Now is the time that people start thinking about treating their pets with a preventative tick medicine. 

This is a summer time problem for pet owners, which is now a year-round problem.

Veterinarians say they are seeing more ticks on pets, even in the winter.

Ticks can carry several diseases including lyme disease which can be dangerous for dogs and cats.

If you find a tick on your furry friend, make sure to use tweezers to pull it out.
