With the advent of warmer weather, your thoughts may be turning to backyard barbecues, hiking with your dog, and longer, warmer days spent outdoors. Ours, too! But you may also be noticing more things creepy and crawly – yes, we’re talking about bugs.

Chief among these threats are ticks. Ticks live in all 50 states and are intent on one thing: taking a blood meal from your pet.
