In our tropical North Queensland environment Paralysis Ticks are a constant threat to our pet’s wellbeing and we witness cases to our clinic on a regular basis.

It is crucial for pet owners to take proactive measures to safeguard their furry companions.

Paralysis ticks pose serious health risks to pets, but with vigilance and preventative care, you can help keep them safe.

Here are some valuable steps you can take:

Regular Inspections: Check your pets for ticks daily, especially after outdoor activities. Focus on areas like the ears, between the toes, and under the collar.

Use Preventative Treatments: Consult your veterinarian about the most suitable tick preventative products for your pets, including topical treatments, collars, and oral medications.

Maintain Your Yard: Keep grass trimmed and clear away brush and debris where ticks may thrive.

Prompt Removal: If you find a tick, if comfortable remove it immediately and contact your veterinarian to discuss treatment options.

By staying informed and prepared, you can help ensure your pet remains healthy and happy at all times and especially during the tick season.
