put them on our website!
Life's too short to care about pet hair. If you're a pet lover
you know exactly what we mean! On your clothes, in your
suitcase, wherever you go - it's always there. A nice little
reminder of your furry family =)
There are a number of tick species that affect
companion animals in Australia including the
Brown Dog Tick, Bush Tick, Cattle Tick and the
most dangerous species the Paralysis Tick. The
peak tick season, when there are higher numbers
of adult ticks present, is during the warmer
months from August to February. However, ticks
can still be found year-round particularly in areas
where the climatic conditions remain suitable.
All tick species have the ability to make our
pets sick, transmit infections, or cause allergic
reactions at the bite site or even anemia when
found in large numbers. However the paralysis
tick is the most deadly with the potential to cause
serious illness and even death from only one tick
within a matter of days.
Due to the small size of ticks it can be hard to tell
the difference between species and colour is not
always an accurate identification tool. The best
way to identify a paralysis tick from the other tick
species is that their legs are all bunched up at
the front of the body and the middle two pairs of
legs are lighter in colour than their others.
If you ever find a tick on your pet it should be
removed quickly but correctly. Visit the vet-n-pet
DIRECT Help Centre for our How To Remove A
Tick article. If you find a tick on your pet or your
pet it showing any signs of tick paralysis please
contact your vet immediately.

Dogs can smell your feelings!
Their super powerful sense of
smell can detect subtle changes
in your scent, like perspiration
when nervous or chemical
changes within the body when
a person is sick or even pregnant.
