Ticks are blood-sucking parasites that can attach to dogs, cats and humans, and transmit deadly diseases. Adult ticks hang out in grasses and bushes and wait for an animal to pass by so they can attach and feed. Ticks can carry and transmit diseases such as Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis and Erlichiosis which can lead to long term complications and even death in severe cases. These diseases can be prevented by using a monthly preventative on your pet.
