Tick Season is Here!

Ticks are here and with them Lyme Disease.  According to a recent article in the Lowell Sun we are seeing around 4,000 human cases of Lyme diesease a year.  The article suggests staying out of high grass, weeds, & brush to avoid contact with these pests.  Since pets are low to the ground you should check your pet frequently for ticks. Pay close attention to areas under the arms and in & around the ears.  Regular grooming can help keep your pet tick free. Preventative products such as flea and tick collars or liquid drops like frontline and advantix will help limit your pets exposure to the lyme disease carrying ticks.

Let's See Some I.D.

Spring is finally here and with it comes warmer weather...and open windows and doors. A recent article in All Animals Magazine talks about the need for collars and tags specifically regarding our indoor only pets. A door left open for just a few seconds can be an indoor cats gateway to the streets. For millions of cats entering shelters each year, a lack of visible identification means they can't go home again. A simple I.D. tag could help reunite a stray cat with their family.  It's not unusual to see cats wandering the neighborhood, so for extra insurance they suggest writing "I AM LOST" on an indoor only cats collar with indelible marker. That way neighbors who come in contact with your pet will realize they aren't supposed to be there. For more information & suggestions check out the March/April 2010 article by Arna Cohen in All Animals Magazine.
