A tiny but mighty creature
Ticks are small bugs that attach themselves to the body of pets to feed on them. This makes them unwanted bugs that we do not welcome in our home. It is important we take care of our pets so that no tick can be found hiding in their body or causing harm.
This photo was taken by an owner who found a tiny tick getting inside his dog’s gums. It’s gross to think of all the places where these disgusting parasites can be they settled in the dog’s mouth. Ticks don’t feed on other animals but can transmit dangerous diseases, some of which can affect humans. Be sure to always check your dog’s fur and your own skin for ticks.
