UK Dogs at risk from new Tick Disease

[Catherine]

I didn't know you had Lyme Disease in UK. We are starting to have it in southern parts of eastern Canada(Ontario).
Actually we may have had Lyme disease for years. We are now starting to recognize it.


Babesiosis may have been around for a while.  It is probably hard to recognize.  Ticks seem to be a real problem. They can transmit a number of things to humans and animals. 

I hope dog owners take heed and watch their dogs for ticks.

I don't remember, ticks are only around at certain times of the year, right?
Is there a skin treatment or shampoo that repels them?
