- What should I do if I find a tick on my pet?
- If you find a tick on your pet, it's helpful to email or call a veterinarian for specific guidance. Taking clear photos of the tick can help determine its species and attachment time, which assists in assessing potential disease exposure. The clinic also recommends using effective year-round tick preventatives.
