Tips to Keeping Your Pet Safe on New Years
It’s the end of the year, which means it’s time for us to celebrate with our friends and family all the good times, and to welcome the New Year with a blast. Here are some tips to keeping your pet safe during the holidays.
Coyotes and Your Pets
Coyotes (Canis latrans) are a native species to California. Highly adaptable, extremely versatile, and with a high reproductive rate, coyotes have adapted to the suburban lifestyle.
Ticks
Ticks are small parasitic arachnids (same class as spiders). In veterinary medicine, ticks pose a major source of infection for ehrlichia (e.canis, e.equi, e.platys, e. risticii, e.ewingii), Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (Rickettsia rickettsii), tularemia (francisella turarensis diagnosed in California's Tulare county), Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi), and multiple other disorders.
