## Resource

This week we’re sitting down with Dr. Pete to talk about something that affects almost every dog owner: Ticks and Heartworm. This may not become a large part of your dogs life if you follow your veterinarian’s advice about treating for these two things. If you don’t, your dog could be at risk of some major issues should they run into developments from these two things. Do you know how ticks become carriers of Lyme? Have you considered your dog’s risk of heartworm? WE talk about it all on this podcast and some of it may surprise you. This information is helpful for all dog owners and especially those who spend significant time outdoors! Thanks so much for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!
