Ticks are found all over the United States and carry a variety of important diseases for our dogs (and sometimes cats). Our pets are frequently exposed to these parasites, but it's hard to always tell when it's a problem. There are a variety of tick-borne tests out there, and it can be confusing to work out what a negative or positive result really means. This lecture will cover the basics of tick-borne testing, when to be worried, and when our pets might benefit from more extensive testing.
