What diseases can my pet get from ticks?
Most people know that ticks transmit Lyme disease, a chronic and debilitating illness, but they also carry bacteria that lead to other acute illnesses, such as anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis.
Some ticks carry more than one of these diseases, which can lead to co-infection.
These diseases vary in severity depending on animals age and overall health, and all are zoonotic, meaning they can infect humans and other non-canine family members.>
