PSA: Protecting Your Pups From Vermin and Disease

This topic is near and dear to my heart. In late 2017 my Airedale Terrier, Jazmyn, was bitten by a Deer Tick out of our yard that was carrying the Borellia bacteria. This lyme causing bacteria brought on a nearly fatal affliction of Myasthenia Gravis in our beloved pup.

Through the loving care of Dr. Lee of the Central City Vet Clinic, we were able to save her. Fast forward to late March of 2019, and Lyme caused acute Kidney failure in Jazmyn, resulting in having to make the terrible choice of helping her slip easy into the next life.

If Jazmyn had been up to date on her flea and tick preventative, she may still be with us here in 2019 and further into the future. Don’t risk your critters, make sure you keep them protected with a preventative and vermin repellent. We use Seresto collars, and I recommend them over every topical we’ve used so far. Just make sure whatever you use is best for your pup or other critter!
