Why year-round protection and daily checks are now recommended in many regions

Milder winters mean ticks stay active for more of the year, and vets increasingly recommend continuous protection rather than treating only in spring and summer.
Ticks can transmit infections such as Lyme disease and babesiosis, so preventing bites is far easier than treating the conditions they cause.

Owners are advised to check their dog after every walk in long grass or woodland, paying attention to the head, ears, armpits and the skin between the toes.
If you find a tick, remove it with a tick hook by twisting gently, and never squeeze or burn it. Ask your vet which preventive product suits your dog’s lifestyle.
As a retired RN….found it very interesting. I’ve done rescue and trapping wild cats for spay/neuter. My four legged children have had a variety of surgeries too.
