Free Tick Prevention For Cats and Dogs
The Quechan Animal Control department is giving out FREE tick medications for dogs and cats.
The brown dog tick mostly feeds on dogs, biting humans occasionally. It can spread Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) to dogs and people, and ehrlichiosis to dogs. It’s most active where it is hot and dry.
Prevent tick bites:
- Check for ticks on people and pets daily
- Wear insect repellant
- Treat pets for ticks
