May is Lyme Disease Prevention Month!!!

Did you know that ticks are responsible for transmitting AT LEAST 15 different serious diseases, including Lyme disease? Symptoms of Lyme disease typically include lethargy, swollen lymph nodes, joint swelling, kidney issues, and loss of appetite.

Many people believe that dogs only need to take monthly preventative medication through the summer months. Due to inconsistent temperatures and the fact that ticks are extremely resilient we recommend using preventative medication year round.

Be sure to keep your dog on a monthly preventative like Simparica or Simparica Trio to prevent against many issues including heartworm disease, tick borne diseases like Lyme disease, intestinal parasites, and flea & tick infestations.

Need a refill or have questions on other products and their ability to protect against these serious diseases? Give our office a call at 319-277-1883.
