A couple out walking their Jack Russel found out the hard way that it is tick season. After their walk they found over a dozen ticks on their dog.
They found the ticks before they attached so they were easy to remove.

They had forgotten about preventive tick treatments. It is fortunate that ticks are dark colored and the dog is white. They could see them right away.
It is recommended that you do a tick check after every walk in tick area. They are easy to remove when they have not attached to the dog.
It is also recommended that appropriate tick treatment be used as a precaution. If a tick has fully attached get help removing it and any treatment that is needed afterwards. Mostly ticks are not carrying diseases, but it is good to be sure.
