A tick-free dog is a healthy dog.Each year, thousands of dogs contract Lyme disease, anaplasmosis and other vector-borne diseases. With their furry coats, proximity to the ground and love of exploration, dogs are 50 to 100 times more likely than humans to come in contact with disease-carrying ticks. Ticks can be present anywhere—from the deep woods to urban parks. This Web site is filled with tips to educate you about Lyme disease and anaplasmosis, as well as other diseases carried by ticks and mosquitoes. You’ll find pictures of ticks, information on how to protect your dog from ticks and how to recognize symptoms of tick disease in dogs.

What caused Taz, the boxer, to limp? Could it be Lyme disease?“I recently adopted my brother’s dog, a boxer named Tazman—Taz for short. Even though my husband and I never owned a dog before, we were excited to take Taz home. We have two young children and Taz immediately became their protector and favorite playmate. My younger daughter, Jocelyn, asks for Taz the minute she wakes up and my older son, Jacob, often reads to him before they both drift off to sleep. Needless to say, he has become a precious family member."
