All about ticks
Wherever you live in the UK, your pet can pick up ticks – from your garden, urban parks or rural areas.
- Ticks are a member of the spider family.
- Ticks are blood-sucking parasites that pierce your pet’s skin with their mouthparts and cement themselves into position to prevent easy removal.
- Due to the method of attachment and their blood-feeding process, ticks can cause several different problems for your pet – including potentially life-threatening diseases.
