Vet-Authored Tip

By Dr. Sarah Jenkins, DVM

Visiting expansive outdoor parks is wonderful for your dog's physical and mental health, but open environments can expose them to ticks and tall grass allergens. Make sure your canine companion is up to date on their parasite preventatives before heading out. After your visit, always perform a thorough check of your dog's coat and paws for any unwanted hitchhikers.
