Ticks can spread a variety of disease and most significantly in this area is Lyme Disease.
In fact, we are seeing more dogs test positive for Lyme disease in Granville and Licking County than with heartworm disease due to the lack of prevention. Tick control and Lyme disease vaccination are critical ways to avoid this disease. Click here to see our map of Lyme Positive Dogs we see here at Granville Veterinary Clinic.
Check out our map below and see how small these ticks are!
